Charging the handset
1) Place the handset 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 2 handsets. With the purchase of an Extra Handset WDECT2305 sold
separately you can establish a 3-way conference call (both handsets and an outside line). 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.
WELCOME
