an outside line.

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 over
approx. 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 transceiver (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
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 - Remote Answering operation
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 dialed 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.
