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.

There are 5 main menu options, (DirectLink Mode, Room Monitor, Handset
Setup, Global Setup and System Reset) and submenu options.
Summary of the Main Menu and Submenu
Two Way Communication between the Handsets Anywhere
without the Base (DirectLink)
DirectLink Mode allows a pair of handsets to work without the base unit, for
direct handset-to-handset communication. Use them at sporting events or while
shopping to stay in contact with family members or friends. You must set the
two handsets to DirectLink Mode to utilize this feature.
Room Monitor
This feature only works if you have two or more handsets, allowing you to
monitor sounds in another room (see page 12 for setup). One handset is
placed in the desired room to monitor (acts as remote mic), and the other
is placed near listener (remote speaker). This is useful for monitoring child
activities.
ABOUT THE MENU OPTIONS
During Global
Setup and
System Reset,
make sure your
cordless phone is
in standby mode
(not in use), and
all handsets are
within range of the
main base unit.

particular Caller will sound. If you have set multiple memory locations with
distinctive rings, switching the setting to “Distinctive Off” will result in no
distinctive ringing. All incoming calls will have a normal ring tone. Switching
to “Distinctive On” will activate all programmed distinctive ring memory
locations.
