Welcome
Terminology used in this Manual
Thank you for purchasing a Uniden Multi-Handset phone. This unit is different from conventional cordless telephones. When the
base unit is connected to AC power and a telephone line, it can support up to 4 handsets. Using extra handsets, you can establish
a 3-way conference call (2 handsets and an outside line), while two other handsets are making an intercom call. You can now
place a fully featured cordless handset anywhere in your home or office where AC power is available to connect the handset
chargers.
Note: Illustrations in this manual are used for explanation purposes. Some illustrations in this
manual may differ from the actual unit.
Caution: The earcap of this telephone may attract and retain small metallic objects.
