QUICK START GUIDE
This page is a very condensed version of the Owner’s
Manual. It is designed to allow you to get your phone
installed and operating as quickly as possible -
however it does not attempt to explain any of the
advanced features of the WDECT2355 series.
1) Connect the AC adapter to the DC IN 9V jack
and to a standard AC wall outlet.
Make sure the AC
Adapter/s remains
switched ON at all
times. Use only the
Uniden AC Adapter/s
supplied with this unit.

Here!
Installing the Base Unit
2) Connect the telephone line cord to the
TEL LINE jack and to a telephone socket
on the wall.

Charging the handset(s)
1) Place the handset(s) in the main base unit or charging
cradle with the keypad facing forward.
2) Make sure the charge LED illuminates. If the LED does not illuminate, check to see
that the AC adapter is plugged in and that the handset makes good contact with the
base charging contacts.
• After installing the batteries in the handset, charge your handset at least 15-20 hours.
During a power cut
or if the AC adapter
is switched off,
this telephone
will not operate.
Recharge your phone
on a regular basis by
returning the handset
to the base after
each phone call.

Congratulations on your purchase of the Uniden Multi-Handset Cordless System telephone. This unit is
different from conventional cordless telephones. When the base unit is connected to AC power and a
telephone line, it can support up to 4 handsets. Using extra handsets, you can establish a 3-way conference
call (2 handsets and an outside line), while two other handsets are making an intercom call. You can now
place a fully featured cordless handset anywhere in your home or office where AC power is available to
connect the handset chargers.
Note: The illustrations in this manual are intended as a guide and may differ from actual unit.
