to your line as determined by the REN, you should contact your local  

telephone company. 
A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring 

and  telephone network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 

rules and  requirements adopted by the ACTA. A compliant telephone 

cord and modular  plug is provided with this product. It is designed to 

be connected to a compatible  modular jack that is also compliant. See 

installation instructions for details. 
Notes   

•  This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the 

telephone company. 

•   Party lines are subject to state tariff s, and therefore, you may not be able 

to use your  own telephone equipment if you are on a party line. Check 
with your local telephone  company. 

•   Notice must be given to the telephone company upon permanent 

disconnection of  your telephone from your line. 

•   If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the 

telephone line,  ensure the installation of this product does not disable 

your alarm equipment. If you  have questions about what will disable 

alarm equipment, consult your telephone  company or a qualifi ed 

installer.

2.  Rights of the Telephone Company  

Should your equipment cause trouble on your line which may 

harm the telephone  network, the telephone company shall, where 

practicable, notify you that  temporary discontinuance of service 

may be required. Where prior notice is not  practicable and the 

circumstances warrant such action, the telephone company  may 

temporarily discontinue service immediately. In case of such 

temporary  discontinuance, the telephone company must: (1) 

promptly notify you of such  temporary discontinuance; (2) aff ord you 

the opportunity to correct the situation;  and (3) inform you of your 

right to bring a complaint to the Commission pursuant to  procedures 

set forth in Subpart E of Part 68, FCC Rules and Regulations. 
The telephone company may make changes in its communications 

facilities,  equipment, operations or procedures where such action is 

required in the  operation of its business and not inconsistent with 

FCC Rules and Regulations. If  these changes are expected to aff ect 

the use or performance of your telephone  equipment, the telephone 

company must give you adequate notice, in writing, to  allow you to 
maintain uninterrupted service. 

Interference information
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject 

to the  following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful 

interference; and (2)  This device must accept any interference received, 

including interference that may  cause undesired operation. 
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits 

for a Class B  digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These 

limits are designed to  provide reasonable protection against harmful 

interference in a residential installation. 
Privacy of Communications may not be ensured when using this product. 
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy 

and, if  not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may 

cause harmful  interference to radio communications. However, there is 

no guarantee that  interference will not occur in a particular installation. 
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television 

reception,  which can be determined by turning the equipment off  and 

on, the user is encouraged  to try to correct the interference by one or 

more of the following measures: • Reorient or relocate the receiving 

antenna (that is, the antenna for radio or  television that is “receiving” the 

interference). 

•  Reorient or relocate and increase the separation between the 

telecommunications  equipment and receiving antenna. 

•  Connect the telecommunications equipment into an outlet on a circuit 

diff erent  from that to which the receiving antenna is connected. 

If these measures do not eliminate the interference, please consult your 

dealer or an  experienced radio/television technician for additional 

suggestions. Also, the Federal  Communications Commission has 

prepared a helpful booklet, “How To Identify and  Resolve Radio/TV 

Interference Problems.” This booklet is available from the U.S.

Telephone Basics
Connecting the Telephone Line
 
1.  Plug the long straight line cord into a modular wall telephone 

jack. 

2.  Place the handset in the cradle. 
  NOTE: The unit is properly installed if you pick up the 

handset  and hear the dial tone. Otherwise, recheck all 

the installation steps. 

Wall Mount Installation 
Your telephone may also be mounted on a wall plate (not in-

cluded).

cradle  while the phone is hanging on the wall, you 

must reverse the  handset hook (located on the base).  

1.  Push the handset hook up and out of the slot on the base with 

your thumb, rotate the hook 180°, and replace it back in the 

slot. 

2.  Feed the line cord through the groove and wrap the cord 

around the track on the bottom of the base. 

3.  Feed the line cord through the groove on the opposite side of 

the track, and plug the end into the modular telephone jack. 

4.  Slip the mounting holes (on the bottom of the base) over the 

wall plate posts and fi rmly slide the unit down into place. 

Adjusting the Ringer Volume 
You may control the ringer volume level with the switch located 

on the side of the base. 

Adjusting the Volume 
You may control the listening level with the VOLUME switch, 

which has three  levels. It remains at the last level set until you 

change it. 
Redialing a Number 
If you want to call the last number you dialed again (up to 32 

digits), use the redial feature. 
1.  Pick up the handset. 
2.  Press the redial button. 
3.  The last number called is automatically redialed. 
Using One Touch Redial 
If the last call you dialed was busy, you can redial it immediately 
by just  pressing the redial button and without hanging up the 
handset. 
Caller ID (CID)

IMPORTANT: In order to use this unit’s Caller ID 

features, you  must subscribe to either the standard 

Name/Number Caller  ID Service or Call Waiting Caller 

ID Service. To know who is  calling while you are on the 

phone, you must subscribe to Call  Waiting Caller ID 

Service. 

This unit receives and displays information transmitted by your 
local phone  company. This information can include the phone 
number, date, and time; or  the name, phone number, date, and 
time.   

Call Waiting Caller ID 
Provided you subscribe to Call Waiting Caller ID service form 
your phone company; if you receive an incoming call and you 
are using Uniden’s multi handset system, a beep indicates the 
presence of a Call Waiting call on the line. The Call Waiting Caller 
ID information will be displayed and stored in the history of all 
handsets in the system.

•  When you hear the call waiting beep in the handset receiver, 

press the fl ash button to put the current call on hold and 
answer the incoming call. Press fl ash again to return to the 
original call.

Receiving CID Records 
When you receive a call, the Caller ID information is transmitted 
between the fi rst and second ring. The Caller ID information 
appears on the display while the phone rings, giving you a 
chance to monitor the information and decide wheather or not to 
answer the call.
Storing CID Records (In CID Memory) 
If you are not at home or cannot answer, your telephone’s Caller 
ID memory  stores the data for the 50 most recent calls you 
received so you can see who  called while you were unavailable. 
When the 51st call is received, the oldest  Caller ID record (1st call) 
is automatically deleted. 
You may review the stored information at any time. Calls received 
since your  last review show as NEW in the display. Calls that have 
not been previously  reviewed but were received from the same 
number more than once show as  REPT in the display. 

Reviewing CID Records 
As calls are received and stored, the display is updated to let you 

know how many calls have been received. To scroll CID records: 
1.  Press either the  (+) or  (-)  down button to view the 

newest call record. 

2. Press the  (-) button to scroll through the call records from 

the most  recent to the oldest. 

3. Press the  (+) button to scroll through the call records from the 

oldest to  the newest. 

4.  When all of the messages have been viewed, START/END 

appears in the display.  

Deleting CID Records 

•  To delete the record showing in the display, press the delete 

button once.  

•  To delete all records while reviewing, press and hold the 

delete button  until ERASE ALL? shows in the display, then 
press the delete button again  to confi rm. 

Dialing Back 
When reviewing Caller ID records, you may dialback the phone 

numbers  
shown on the display by pressing the dial button.  

NOTE: Depending on (a) how the incoming caller’s 

phone  number is formatted when it is received, and 

(b) whether or  not you previously pre-programmed 

your local area code into  the set up menu, you may 

need to adjust the format of the  incoming caller’s 

stored phone number before making the  call, press 

the dial button to adjust the number, and try again. 

If you programmed your local area code in the setup menu 
1.  Use the  (+) and  (-) buttons to scroll to the number you 

want to dial.  

•  If you see a number with 7 digits (i.e. 555-1234), then the call 

was  received from within your area code. However, this does 
not guarantee  the call is a local call. 

•  If you see a number with 11 digits (i.e. 1-234-555-1234), then 

the call  received was not from your area code. 

2. Press the dial button and the display shows PICKUP or ADJUST

A 10  second timer also starts in the upper right side of the 
display, letting you  know the time remaining until the unit 
returns to the Summary Screen. If  you adjust the number to be 
dialed, the timer automatically resets itself. 

3. To adjust the phone number, press the dial button. For 

instance, a 7-digit  local number sometimes cannot be dialed 
because it requires a 10-digit  or 11-digit format. Press the dial 
button repeatedly to scroll through the 7,  10, and 11-digit 
numbers. 

7-digits: 

7-digit telephone number (i.e.  

 

 

                                     555-5555)10-digits:   

 

3-digit area code + 7-digit telephone number   

                                    (i.e.  425-555-5555) 

11-digits:   long distance code 1 + 3-digit area code +         

                                     7-digit  telephone number

 

(i.e. 1-425-555-5555) 

4.  To dial the displayed number, pick up the handset before the 

timer  reaches 0. NOW DIALING shows in the display and the 

number is dialed.  

If you did not program your local area code in the setup menu 
1.  Use the  (+) and  (-) buttons to display the number you 

want to dial.  

  You will only see 10-digit numbers (i.e. 234-555-1234). 
2.  See steps 2 through 4 in the above section to complete the 

dialback  sequence. 
NOTE: If PICKUP PHONE shows on the display, no other  

changes to the number can be made. The information 

sent  from the telephone company is known to be a 

valid number to  dial back (available only in limited 

areas). Once you pickup the  phone, the number is 

automatically dialed. 

Memory
Before you store a telephone number in memory, make sure the 
dialing  mode is correctly set for the type of service you have. The 
default dialing  mode is tone (touch-tone), so if you have pulse 
(rotary) service, you must fi rst  change the dialing mode. See “T/P

ready to be  inserted beforehand. As a precaution, you 

may want to write  down any stored information you 

do not want erased. 

Your Caller ID phone uses 3 AA-size alkaline batteries for 
receiving and  storing Caller ID records and for the numbers you 
use for memory dialing.
1.  If the telephone line cord is connected, disconnect it from the 

wall.  

2.  Open the battery compartment door with your fi nger or 

thumb.  

3.  Insert 3 AA-size alkaline batteries (not included) as shown on 

the diagram inside the compartment. 

4. Replace the battery compartment door. 
5. Re-attach the line cord to the wall and check your memory 

locations. If  installation takes longer than 60 seconds, you 

should re-set your memory  locations.
IMPORTANT: If you’re not going to use the telephone 

for more  than 30 days, remove the batteries because 

they can leak and  damage the unit.
