Phone is in.

Standby/Talk Talk Talk Standby Standby

Description

The battery icons shows the battery charge level: full, medium, low, and empty. The mute icon appears while the handset microphone is muted. The speaker icon appears when the handset speaker phone is in use. The envelope icons tell you that you have new messages on your local phone provider's voice mail service, on your computer, or both. The ringer off icons tells you if ringer is turned off for regular phone calls, PC calls, or both types of calls. 9

Using Soft Keys

Your handset has two soft keys that change function during the operation of the phone. The text right above the soft key indicates that key's current function. For example, when the phone is in standby mode, pressing soft key 1 opens the Windows Live Messenger option menu. When the phone is in the Windows Live Messenger menu, pressing soft key 1 makes a selection. The instructions in this manual will always give the name of the soft key you need to press. Be sure to look at the screen so you know which soft key you need.

Using the Joystick

The handset's joystick lets you move the cursor on the display and easily access the most commonly used features. With the phone in standby, move the joystick to the left to open the phonebook. Move the joystick to the right to open the Caller ID list. Move the joystick down to open the redial list, and up to go to your voice mail. Try placing your thumb on top of the joystick and move to the four positions to get the feel of how it moves and operates. You will also use the joystick to move the cursor and highlight different options on the screen; the highlighted option appears in reversed out text, and the current setting for that option appears at the bottom of the screen. To select the highlighted option, press straight down on the center of the joystick (you can also press the Select soft key). 10
Entering Text from Your Handset
You can use the number keypad to enter text by referring to the letters printed on each number key. When you press the number key in a text entry field, the phone displays the first letter printed on the number key. Press the number key twice to display the second letter and three times to display the third. Here are some hints for entering text.
Capital letters are displayed first, then lower case letters, then the number on the key. If two letters in a row use the same number key, enter the first letter, then use the joystick to move the cursor to the next position to enter the second letter. If you make a mistake while entering a name, use the joystick to move the cursor to the incorrect character. Press the Delete soft key to erase the wrong character, then enter the correct character. To delete all characters, press and hold the Delete soft key.

The table below shows the available characters; the steps show you how to enter the word Movies as an example. 1. Press 6 once to enter M. 2. Use the joystick to move the cursor to the right. 3. Press 6 six times to enter o. 4. Press 8 six times to enter v. 5. Press 4 six times to enter i. 6. Press 3 five times to enter e. 7. Press 7 eight times to enter s. 8. Press the center of the joystick when you're finished.

Installing the Phone

Choosing the Best Location
When choosing a location for your new phone, here are some important guidelines you should consider:
Find a place that is close to a standard phone jack, a computer with a USB port, and a power outlet that is not controlled by a wall switch. The base and handset should be kept away from sources of electrical noise such as motors, microwave ovens, and fluorescent lighting. Don't place the base in direct sunlight or subject it to high temperatures. The battery may not charge properly. For better reception, place the base as high as possible. The base should be placed in an open area for optimum range and reception. If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to a phone line, be sure that installing the system does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment, contact your telephone company or a qualified installer.
Installing the Handset Battery
Follow the steps below to install the battery. 1. Remove the cover from the handset battery compartment. Press in on the finger indention and slide the cover downward. 2. Place the battery pack in the battery compartment with the green side up and the silver connectors on the battery facing the bottom of the handset. NOTE: Use only the Uniden BT-0003 rechargeable battery pack with your phone. 3. Place the battery case cover back on the handset and slide it upwards until it clicks into place.

Installing the Belt Clip

Line up the holes on each side of the handset. To attach the belt clip, insert into the holes on each side of the handset. Press down until it clicks. To remove the belt clip, pull either side of the belt clip to release the tabs from the holes.
Connecting the Base and Charging the Handset
CAUTION: To avoid risk of fire and shock, use only the Uniden AD-0006 AC adapter. NOTE: Do not place the power cord where it creates a trip hazard or where it could become chafed and create a fire or electrical hazard. 1. Connect the AC adapter to the yellow power connector (labeled DC IN 9V). A) Place the AC adapter behind the adapter channel guide and line it up with the yellow power connector. B) Push the adapter into the connector. C) Turn the adapter towards the rear of the base so the adapter head fits in the AC adapter channel. 2. Connect the AC adapter to a standard 120V AC wall outlet. DO NOT use an AC outlet controlled by a wall switch. 3. Place the handset in the base with the LCD screen facing forward.

2. Select the HANDSET SETUP menu, and then the UNIQUE ID submenu. 3. Move the cursor to select ON or OFF. 4. Press the center of the joystick or the Select soft key. You will hear a confirmation tone.
Setting Up Your Voice Mail
If you subscribe to a voice mail service, you can use your phone to access your voice mailbox. The new message LED flashes whenever you have messages waiting in your voice mailbox. If you program your access number into your phone, you can simply push the four-way function key up to access your voice mail. When you subscribe to the service, your voice mail provider will provide you with the access number and the required signaling tone.
Setting the Voice Mail Signaling Tone
Voice mail service providers use one of two types signals to turn on your phone's message waiting indicator. Your phone comes pre-programmed to recognize the most common signal (Frequency Shift Keying, or FSK). If your voice mail service provider tells you that their service uses Stutter Dial Tone or SDT, you need to activate this voice mail signaling tone on your phone. If you're having trouble with your phone's message waiting indicator not lighting up when you have new messages, contact your service provider and ask which type of message notification signal (either FSK or SDT) the service uses. If you need to activate the SDT notification signal, follow the instructions below: 1. With the phone in standby, press the center of the joystick and select the system setup icon 2. Select the GLOBAL SETUP menu, and then the VOICE MAIL TONE submenu. 21.
3. Move the cursor to select ON to activate SDT signaling. Select OFF to deactivate SDT signaling. 4. Press the center of the joystick or the Select soft key. You will hear a confirmation tone.
Programming Your Voice Mail Access Number
Your voice mail service provider will supply you with the access number. To program your access number for easy access, follow the steps below: 1. Press the center of the joystick and select the system setup icon.
2. Select the HANDSET SETUP menu, and then the EDIT VOICE MAIL submenu. If a voice mail access number has already been programmed, it will appear in the display. To delete this number, press and hold the Delete soft key. 3. Use the number keypad to enter the phone number; the phone number can contain up to 20 digits. If you need the phone to pause between digits when its dialing (for example, to enter an extension or an access code), press the Pause soft key to insert a two-second pause. You will see a P in the display. You can also use more than one pause together if two seconds is not long enough. Each pause counts as one digit. 4. Press the center of the joystick when you are finished. You will hear a confirmation tone.

Viewing Your Contact List on the Phone
Once you enter contacts into you contact list, you can see them directly on your handset. 1. With the phone in standby, press the PC Call soft key. The handset displays your contact list with the last sorting order used. 2. To change the sorting order, press the Menu soft key. This opens the PC menu. 3. Move the cursor to select SORT CONTACTS BY and press the center of the joystick or the Select soft key. 4. Choose whether to sort your contact list by name or by presence (whether a contact is online, offline, or busy). If you have created groups in your contact list, you can also sort the contact list by group. Press the center of the joystick or the Select soft key. 5. To change how your contacts are displayed, move the cursor to select View CONTACTS BY and press the center of the joystick or the Select soft key. 6. Choose the information about your contacts that you want to display: the nickname (or display name), the full name, the email address, or the phone number. Press the center of the joystick or the Select soft key.
Downloading Contacts to the Phonebook
You can download names and phone numbers from your contact list to your phone. There are few things you should know about how your contact list and your handset phonebook interact:
If you have more than 100 names on your contact list, the contact list will download the first 100 contacts. If you create or edit phonebook entries directly on your handset, the contact list leaves those entries intact when downloading. If you want the contact list to overwrite an entry in the handset phonebook, just delete that entry from the phonebook before downloading the contact list.
When the contact list downloads to the phonebook, the phone number entered in the HOME PHONE field is placed in the first phone number slot, WORK PHONE is placed in the second, MOBILE NUMBER in the third, and OTHER PHONE in the fourth.
1. With the phone in standby, press the PC Menu soft key. 2. Move the cursor to select DOWNLOAD NMBRS and press the center of the joystick or the Select soft key. 3. When the phone asks you to confirm, press the OK soft key.

Battery Replacement and Handling
When the talk time becomes short, even after the battery is recharged, please replace the battery. With normal usage, your battery should last about one year. A replacement Uniden adapter or battery may be purchased by calling Uniden's Parts department (see back cover page).
