WELCOME/FEATURES[ 4 ]
The EXT1465 series features include AutoTalk™ and AutoStandby™. AutoTalk allows you to
answer a call by just removing the handset from the base so you don’t have to waste time
pushing buttons. AutoStandby allows you to hang up by simply returning the handset to
the base.
To protect you against mis-billed calls, which might result from your phone being activated by
other equipment, the EXT1465 has Random Code™digital security, which automatically selects
one of over 65,000 digital security codes for the handset and base. Also, AutoSecure™
electronically locks your phone when the handset is in the base.
Digital Spread Spectrum Technology utilizes a “wider frequency band”vs. a “single narrow band”
used in standard digital transmissions. The result is a more secure conversation with the clarity
of digital sound, extended range, and minimal interference from other cordless phones.
Be sure to visit our web site: www.uniden.com

D. Choose the dialing mode
Most phone systems use tone dialing, which sends DTMF tones through the phone lines.
However some phone systems still use pulse dialing such as in rural areas. The default

1) When the phone is in the standby mode, press menu/mute.

your dialing system,
set the unit to tone
dialing. Make a trial
call. If the call
connects, leave the
setting as is,
otherwise set the unit
to pulse dialing.
•If your phone system
requires pulse dialing
and you need to send
DTMF tones in certain
situations during a
call, you may
“switch-over”to tone
dialing. (Refer to
“Tone Dialing Switch-
over”on page 23.)
Throughout this manual, terms such as Standby and Talk Mode are used. Below is the
terminology explanation.
Standby Mode - The handset is not in use, is off the base, and talk/call wait has not been
pressed. A dial tone is not present and the display is blank.
Talk Mode - The handset is not on the base and talk/call wait has been pressed enabling a
dial tone. “Talk”appears on the display.
