This series features AutoTalk and AutoStandby. AutoTalk allows you to answer a call by just removing the handset from the cradle so you don't have to waste time pushing buttons. AutoStandby allows you to hang up by simply returning the handset to the cradle. To protect you against mis-billed calls that might result from your phone being activated by other equipment, this series has Random Code digital security, which automatically selects one of about 130,000 digital security codes for the handset and base. Digital Spread Spectrum Technology uses a wider frequency band than standard digital transmissions. The result is a more secure conversation with the clarity of digital sound, extended range, and minimal interference from other cordless phones. IntegriSound Built in sound quality which provides life-like conversations. With DirectLink mode, you can use two or more handsets as radio transceivers (walkie-talkies). Be sure to visit our web site: www.uniden.com Uniden is a registered trademark of Uniden America Corporation. AutoTalk, AutoStandby, DirectLink, IntegriSound and Random Code are trademarks of Uniden America. Your phone may be compatible with other Uniden 2.4GHz Digital Expandable System.

line. Also, the telephone company may make changes in facilities and services which may affect the operation of your unit. However, your telephone company must give adequate notice in writing prior to such actions to allow you time for making necessary arrangements to continue uninterrupted service. If you are having trouble with your telephone service, you must first disconnect your phone to determine if it is the cause of your problem. If you determine that it is the cause, you must leave it disconnected until the trouble has been corrected.
Installation Considerations

Selecting a Location

Before choosing a location for your new phone, there are some important guidelines you should consider: The location should be close to both a phone jack and continuous power outlet. (A continuous power outlet is an AC outlet which does not have a switch to interrupt its power.) Keep the base and handset away from sources of electrical noise such as motors or fluorescent lighting. Be sure there is sufficient space to fully extend the base antenna. The base can be placed on a desk or tabletop or mounted on a standard telephone wall plate. You should charge your new phone for 15-20 hours before completing the installation or using the handset.

The term "IC:" before the radio certification number only signifies that Industry Canada technical specifications were met. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. "Privacy of communications may not be ensured when using this telephone".
