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 tranceivers (walkie-talkies).

[8] SOFT KEY FUNCTION 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. Soft keys allow you to:
- Access the main menu - Access stored Caller ID messages
- Set up CIDCW options - Redial one of the last three numbers dialed from the handset
- Store or edit phone numbers
Note: The soft keys will not appear while the handset is charging.
The function of each soft key is determined by the icon that appears directly above it. For example, when
the handset 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.

C. Connect the base unit.
A. Choose the best location
Before choosing a location for your new phone, read "Installation Considerations"
on page 67. Here are some important guidelines you should consider:
Avoid noise sources such as a window
by a street with heavy traffic
Avoid microwave ovens
Avoid excessive
moisture, extremely
low temperatures,
dust, mechanical
vibration, or shock
Avoid personal computers
Avoid other cordless telephones
Choose a central location
Avoid heat sources, such as
radiators, air ducts, and sunlight
Avoid television sets and
other electronic equipment
If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to phone line, be sure that installing the system does not
disableyour alarm equipment.
If you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment, contact your telephone company or a qualified installer.

•Keep the antenna free
of obstruction.
•When the handset is
not in use place the
handset in an upright
position.
•Do not hold the

B. Install the rechargeable battery pack into the handset
The handset is powered by a rechargeable battery pack. The battery recharges
automatically when the handset is placed in the base unit. To maximize the charge
capacity of your battery pack, DO NOT plug the telephone cord into the base unit
and wall jack until the battery is fully charged.
1) Press down on the handset battery case cover (use the
finger indention for a better grip) and slide the cover
downward to remove.
2) Turn the battery pack so that the connector with the red
and black wires is near the jack inside the battery
compartment. Match the connector's wire colors to the
polarity label in the battery compartment (the connector
notches fit into the grooves of the jack only one way).
Push the battery pack connector into the jack until it
clicks into place.
3) Make sure you have a good connection by gently pulling on
the battery wires. If the connection is secure, the battery
jack will remain in place.
4) Place the battery case cover back on the handset and slide
it upwards until it clicks into place.
• Use only the Uniden
(BT-446) rechargeable
battery pack supplied
with your cordless
telephone.
• Replacement battery
packs are also available
through the Uniden
Parts Department at
[phone],
Monday thru Friday from
8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

C. Connect the base unit
1) Connect the AC adapter to the DC IN 9V jack and to
a standard 120V AC wall outlet.
Connect the AC adapter to a continuous power
supply (i.e., an outlet that is not controlled by a
switch).
2) Set the base on a desk or tabletop, and place the
handset in the base unit.
Place the base unit close to the AC outlet so that
you can unplug the AC adapter easily.
3) Make sure that the charge LED illuminates.
If the LED does not illuminate, check to see that the
AC adapter is plugged in and the handset makes
good contact with the base charging contacts.
4) After installing the battery pack in the handset,
charge your handset for at least 15-20 hours before
plugging into the phone line.
5) Once the handset battery pack is fully charged,
connect the telephone line cord to the TEL LINE jack
and to a telephone outlet.
If your telephone outlet isn't modular,
contact your telephone company for
assistance.
•Use only the supplied
[AD-830] AC adapter.
Do not use any other
AC adapter.
•Place the power cord
so that it does not
create a trip hazard or
where it could become
chafed and create a
fire or electrical
hazard.

Direct wall mounting
If you don't have a standard wall plate, you can mount your phone directly to the
wall. Before doing this, consider the following:
• Avoid electrical cables, pipes, or other items behind the mounting location that could
cause a hazard when inserting screws into the wall.
• Try to mount your phone within 5 feet of a working phone jack to avoid excessive lengths.
• Make sure the wall material is capable of supporting the weight of the base and handset.
• Use #10 screws (minimum length of 1 & 3/8 inches) with anchoring devices suitable for
the wall material where the base unit will be placed.
1) Insert two mounting screws into the wall
(with their appropriate anchoring device), 3
& 15/16 inches apart. Allow about 1/8 of an
inch between the wall and screw heads for
mounting the phone.
2) Refer to steps 1 through 7 on page 12 to
mount the telephone.
