Important Information

Read this section before using your PCD1000 cellular telephone.
The PCD1000 is a radio transmitter and receiver. When the phone is on, the antenna is the part of the phone that sends out and receives radio frequency (RF) energy in the 824 to 894 MHz range using common frequency modulation (FM) techniques. When you use your phone, the cellular system handling your call controls the power level (usually 0.006 watts to 3 watts) at which your phone transmits. In 1991, the institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and in 1992 the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) updated the 1982 ANSI Standard for safety levels with respect to human exposure to RF energy. Over 120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities, government health agencies, and industry, after reviewing the available body of research, developed this updated Standard. In March, 1993, the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) proposed the adoption of this updated Standard. For the safe and efficient operation of your phone, observe these guidelines: 1. Warning: Uniden America Corporation does not represent this unit to have been waterproofed. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, fire hazard, or damage to the unit, do not expose to rain or moisture. 2. Do not operate this cellular phone when holding the antenna, or when any person is within 4 inches of the antenna. To limit RF exposure, control the duration of your calls. 3. Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with the skin, a minor burn may result. If the antenna is damaged, replace it with a 4. Uniden-approved antenna before operating the phone. Contact your Uniden dealer for more information. When using your phone while driving, Uniden recommends that you only use the phone when the vehicle is stationary. This ensures that you maintain full attention to driving while the vehicle is in motion. You are responsible for driving safely and using reasonable judgment while using your cellular phone. RF energy from cellular telephones may affect some personal medical devices (pacemakers, hearing aids, etc.) Consult your physician or the device manufacturer for information regarding the effect of RF energy on personal medical devices. Do not use this cellular phone in an airplane. Do not allow children to play with the phone. It is not a toy. Children could hurt themselves or others (by poking themselves or others in the eye with the antenna, for example). Children could also damage the phone or make calls that increase your telephone bills. Obey the warning signs that require mobile radios to be turned off. This is typically required near construction sites where blasting occurs, and in health care facilities. Turn your phone off when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. These areas include fueling areas such as gas stations, below deck on boats, chemical transfer and storage facilities, and areas where the air contains particles (grain, dust, or metal powders.)

Advanced Functions

When you travel, your PCD1000 has several advanced functions that can put your cellular phone in service, or eliminate unnecessary long distance or ROAM charges. These functions are: 2 NAM (Number Assignment Module) Selections. System Selection SID (System Identification) Selection SID Inhibit See your Uniden Dealer for more explanation of, and assistance with these functions. To access any of these functions, see page 17. (conventional telephone network), and some are non-wireline. Ask your service provider for more information about these Systems. The various Modes are:

A-ONLY

B-ONLY

NAM Selection

If you regularly travel between two different cities, you can have a different telephone number (NAM) assigned to each location. If ROAM is displayed, and you are in one of your NAM locations, then you need to select the proper NAM (NAM 1 orthrough NAM 2).

System Selection

When you are traveling, you may need to change your A/B System so you can eliminate the NO SERVICE indicator. You may also need to select a different System whenever you change the telephone number or select the programmed SID. Some Systems are wireline

A TO B B TO A HOME ONLY SID ONLY Before changing your System, check and record the present System setting. If you see NSVC on the display for more than a few seconds, the phone is in an area that will not support operation in the selected Mode. You must then choose another. Modes A ONLY and B-ONLY are used when you travel in areas other than your home area and the cellular coverage is strong wherever you go. If the cellular phone is out of the service providers cellular coverage, NOSVC is displayed. If you are in a System area opposite to your Home System, ROAM is displayed. HOME is used within your Home Area. It is the System you are authorized on. When you are out of your Home Area, NOSVC is displayed. A TO B and B TO A are used when you travel in areas where cellular coverage is weak or split into several System types. This allows you to avoid switching back

Roaming

Many carriers (airtime providers) make arrangements with carriers in other cities to allow use of mobile telephones in areas other than your Home area. If you are traveling in an area where cellular service is provided, and you wish to use your cellular phone, check with your Cellular Service Company before leaving your Home area. They will give you information about registering and operating your cellular phone in a particular area. In some cities, depending upon your Cellular Service Company, no registration will be required. You may dial your phone as if you were traveling in your Home area. However, if you call a number local to the area in which you are roaming, first dial the area code of the local number (no preceding 1), then the rest of the phone number. Keep in mind that calls to your Home area may incur long distance charges. Other areas will require advance registration with a major credit card, or may require that all long distance calls be dialed using a telephone credit card or other charge method (collect, third telephone number). Your Cellular
Service Company can give you the information before you make the trip. If that is not possible, simply dialing a call will, in many cases, provide needed information. You may hear a recording (no airtime charge) that gives procedures for roaming calls and connects you immediately (during business hours) to a registration clerk. If you cannot obtain roaming services on one carrier, try switching to the other type. It is important to remember that the ROAM indicator does not mean the phone is authorized to make calls; only that a system other than the Home system is detected.

SID (System Identification)
In general, metropolitan areas are served by more than one service provider. Under certain circumstances you may be roaming in an area that has two A systems or two B systems that overlap, and you could be charged two roaming charges. To prevent this double charging, program in the System Identification number (SID) for that area, and then activate the number when you are in that location. (You will get the SID from the service provider in that location.)

Battery Memory Effect Rechargeable batteries can develop a memory (reduced charge capacity) caused by repeated charge and discharge cycles. Rechargeable batteries that have developed this effect will not operate to their fullest capacity. To Avoid Memory Effect: Operate the unit until the Rechargeable Battery is completely discharged before recharging. Do not top off the charge after using for a short time. Also, do not charge the Rechargeable Battery for extended periods of time. To Erase Memory Effect: Operate the unit until the Rechargeable Battery is completely discharged, then recharge fully. Repeat this process at least three (3) times. 6

Advanced Functions

When you travel, your PCD1000 has several advanced functions that can put your cellular phone in service, or eliminate unnecessary long distance or ROAM charges. These functions are: 2 NAM (Number Assignment Module) Selections. System Selection SID (System Identification) Selection SID Inhibit See your Uniden Dealer for more explanation of, and assistance with these functions. To access any of these functions, see page 17. (conventional telephone network), and some are non-wireline. Ask your service provider for more information about these Systems. The various Modes are:

A-ONLY

B-ONLY

NAM Selection

If you regularly travel between two different cities, you can have a different telephone number (NAM) assigned to each location. If ROAM is displayed, and you are in one of your NAM locations, then you need to select the proper NAM (NAM 1 orthrough NAM 2).

System Selection

When you are traveling, you may need to change your A/B System so you can eliminate the NO SERVICE indicator. You may also need to select a different System whenever you change the telephone number or select the programmed SID. Some Systems are wireline

A TO B B TO A HOME ONLY SID ONLY Before changing your System, check and record the present System setting. If you see NSVC on the display for more than a few seconds, the phone is in an area that will not support operation in the selected Mode. You must then choose another. Modes A ONLY and B-ONLY are used when you travel in areas other than your home area and the cellular coverage is strong wherever you go. If the cellular phone is out of the service providers cellular coverage, NOSVC is displayed. If you are in a System area opposite to your Home System, ROAM is displayed. HOME is used within your Home Area. It is the System you are authorized on. When you are out of your Home Area, NOSVC is displayed. A TO B and B TO A are used when you travel in areas where cellular coverage is weak or split into several System types. This allows you to avoid switching back

Roaming

Many carriers (airtime providers) make arrangements with carriers in other cities to allow use of mobile telephones in areas other than your Home area. If you are traveling in an area where cellular service is provided, and you wish to use your cellular phone, check with your Cellular Service Company before leaving your Home area. They will give you information about registering and operating your cellular phone in a particular area. In some cities, depending upon your Cellular Service Company, no registration will be required. You may dial your phone as if you were traveling in your Home area. However, if you call a number local to the area in which you are roaming, first dial the area code of the local number (no preceding 1), then the rest of the phone number. Keep in mind that calls to your Home area may incur long distance charges. Other areas will require advance registration with a major credit card, or may require that all long distance calls be dialed using a telephone credit card or other charge method (collect, third telephone number). Your Cellular
Service Company can give you the information before you make the trip. If that is not possible, simply dialing a call will, in many cases, provide needed information. You may hear a recording (no airtime charge) that gives procedures for roaming calls and connects you immediately (during business hours) to a registration clerk. If you cannot obtain roaming services on one carrier, try switching to the other type. It is important to remember that the ROAM indicator does not mean the phone is authorized to make calls; only that a system other than the Home system is detected.
SID (System Identification)

In general, metropolitan areas are served by more than one service provider. Under certain circumstances you may be roaming in an area that has two A systems or two B systems that overlap, and you could be charged two roaming charges. To prevent this double charging, program in the System Identification number (SID) for that area, and then activate the number when you are in that location. (You will get the SID from the service provider in that location.)
