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).

911 Service Notice
Packet8 offers Enhanced 911 calling as a standard feature of its Internet phone
service. However, there are certain circumstances, when you dial 911 from a phone
connected to the Packet8 service, where E911 service may not function, or the E911
service may be in some way limited by comparison to traditional 911 service. Please
review the Terms and Conditions at www.packet8.net for additional information.
Before You Start!
Visit the Packet8 activation website http://activate.packet8.net/ and enter the
MAC address ID found on the bottom of your UIP160P. After you activate the
UIP160P, you will receive an email containing a 10-digit activation code. You will
need this activation code in Step 3.
STEP 1: Check Your Equipment
Check your broadband setup and the other equipment you will need:
• A broadband modem and a broadband Internet connection
• A computer with an Ethernet port (or a local Ethernet switch or router)
• One CAT-5 Ethernet cable
• The Packet8 10-digit activation code that was emailed to you when you created your
account. (If you don't have this email, go to www.packet8.net and enter the email address
and password used to create the account in the account sign in at the top of the screen.)
• If you want to use an analog phone or fax machine with the UIP160P, you will need a
standard telephone cable (RJ-11).
If you ordered your
UIP160P directly from
Packet8, it will already
be activated for you.
Your 10-digit activation
code was in the
confirmation email you
received when your
UIP160P shipped. (If
you don’t have this
email, go to
www.packet8.net and
enter the email address
and password used to
create the account in
the account sign in
page.)

SETTING UP THE
PHONE
Check Your Broadband Configuration
The UIP160P supports the two most common broadband connection protocols:
DHCP and PPPoE. If your broadband connection uses DHCP, you do not need to
change any settings on the UIP160P. If your broadband connection uses PPPoE, you
will need to enter your user name and password in step 3. If your broadband
provider has given you a static IP address, you will need to enter that information
in the UIP160P.
See the User Interface Guide at www.uniden.com/voip for more information on
configuring your UIP160P.
STEP 2: Connect Your UIP160P
Once your account is set up, you
can connect your UIP160P.
1) Use the included Ethernet cable to
connect your broadband modem to
the RJ-45 port labeled WAN.
If you use a switch or a router for
your local network, then you can
connect it to the WAN port instead.
