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.

A cradle that comes with an accessory handset and charges the handset battery. It connects
to power but does not connect to a phone line.
If you have accessory handsets on your system, you can use two handsets as 2-way radios.
This phone system is expandable and will support a total of four handsets to one base. The
extra, or accessory handset, is a handset that is compatible with this model.
