This series features AutoTalk™and AutoStandby™. AutoTalk allows you to answer a call by just removing
the handset from the cradle so you don't have to waste time pushing buttons. AutoStandby allows you to
hang up by simply returning the handset to the cradle.
To protect you against mis-billed calls that might result from your phone being activated by other
equipment, this series has Random Code™digital security, which automatically selects one of more than
10,000,000 digital security codes for the handset and base.
Digital Spread Spectrum Technology uses a wider frequency band than 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.
IntegriSound™Built in sound quality which provides life-like conversations.
With DirectLink™mode, you can use 2 or more handsets as radio transceivers (walkie-talkies).

SOFT KEY FUNCTION [8] www.uniden.com
Soft Key Function
"Soft" keys are keys that change function during the operation of the phone. There are three soft keys on
the base and three on each handset.
The function of each soft key is determined by the icon that appears directly above it. For example, when
the base is in standby mode, pressing soft key 1 will redial the last number. When the handset is in talk
mode, pressing soft key 1 will mute the microphone.
Complete information on the features controlled by the soft keys can be found under each feature.

Setting up the Phone
A. Choose the best location
When choosing a location for your new phone, here are some important guidelines
you should consider:
• The location should be close to both a phone jack and a continuous power outlet (one
which is not connected to a switch).
• The base and handset should be kept away from sources of electrical noise such as motors,
microwave ovens, and fluorescent lighting.
• For better reception, place the base as high as possible.
• The base should be placed in an open area for optimum range and reception.
• If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to phone line, be sure that
installing the system does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about
what will disable alarm equipment, contact your telephone company or a qualified
installer.
For maximum range:
•Keep the antenna free
of obstruction.
•When the handset is
not in use place the
handset in an upright
position.
•Do not hold the
handset where you
would block the signal.
•Metal and reinforced
concrete may affect
cordless telephone
performance.
