Welcome
Congratulations on your purchase of the Uniden TXC146 optional
handset and charger. This additional handset is for use with the
EXT1460 and EXT1465 base. You can place a fully featured
cordless handset anywhere in your home where AC power is
available to connect the handset charger. The original base will
support up to 2 handsets (the original handset and one TXC146
handset).
The TXC146 will not be an alternative of the original handset,
if the original handset is damaged.
Important
The TXC146 will not operate unless it has been registered to
a EXT1460 or EXT1465. Before the additional handset can be
used, the battery must be completely charged and it must be
registered with the base.
This manual describes only the instructions specific to the
additional handset. For detailed operation, refer to the owner’s
manual supplied with the original unit (read “Expanding Your
Phone”section first).
