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.

appropriate anchoring device), 100mm apart. Allow about
3mm between the wall and screwheads for mounting
the phone.

Setup, Answ. Setup, Global Setup and System Reset) and submenu options.
Summary of the Main Menu and Submenu
Two Way Communication between the Handsets Anywhere

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

as remote mic), and the other is placed near listener (remote speaker). This is
useful for monitoring child activities.

cordless phone is
in standby mode
(not in use), and
all handsets are

main base unit.

preset memory locations with a designated ring tone. When an incoming call
is received and the Caller ID information matches the information in one of
Distinct. Ring the memory locations, the distinctive ring that has been stored for that
(Default is on) particular Caller will sound. If you have set multiple memory locations with

up after six rings if you have new messages, and after nine rings if there are
none (see page 17).
Record Time Set the duration for recording the incoming messages. You have three record
(Default is 1 minute) time options. The options “1 minute” or “4 minutes” set the duration for
