Test any accessory handsets the same way. If you can't get a dial
tone or the handset display says Unavailable, try moving the handset
closer to the base or resetting it (see page 40).
5
Changing from Tone to Pulse Dialing
Phones can communicate with the telephone network in two ways:
tone (DTMF) or pulse dialing. If you know your phone company uses
pulse dialing or the test call for line 1 did not work, follow these steps:
1. With the phone in standby, press MENU .
2. Use UP or DOWN to highlight Global Setup, then press OK .
3. Your phone prompts you to select a line and Line 1 is highlighted.
Press OK .
4. Use UP or DOWN to highlight Dial Mode, then press OK .
5. Highlight Pulse, then press OK . The phone sounds a confirmation
tone. Try making another test call using line 1.
If your test call on line 2 did not connect, follow the same
process, but in step 3, press DOWN to highlight Line 2, then press
OK .

If you use pulse dialing and you need to send DTMF tones during a
call (if you're using an automated response system, for example),
press to temporarily switch to tone dialing. When the call ends, the
phone automatically returns to pulse dialing mode.

Attaching the Belt Clip

Line up the holes on each side of the handset. Insert the belt clip 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.

Entering Text on Your Phone
When you want to enter text into your phone (for example, a name
in the phonebook), use the twelve-key dial pad to enter the letters
printed on the number keys. Here's how it works:
 The phone enters the letters in the order they appear on the key.
For example, if you press the number key 2 once, the phone
enters the letter A. Press 2 twice for B, and three times for C.
 If you press the key again after the last letter, the phone starts the
same letter sequence with small letters. If you press 2 four times
in a row, the phone enters a (small letter). Press 2 five times for b,
and six times for c.
 If you see the icon [Aa] in the display, the phone enters capital
letters first (A B C), then small letters (a b c), then the number on
the key (2). The icon [aA] means the phone starts at the small
letters, so it enters small letters first, then the number on the key,
then capital letters.
 The phone automatically uses a capital letter for the first letter and
any letter right after a space; all other times, it uses small letters.
 If two letters in a row use the same number key, enter the first
letter, then use CALLER ID/RIGHT to move the cursor to the next
position to enter the second letter.

use them. Most of the menus are the same for the base and cordless
handsets; any option that is available only for the base or handset is
noted in the description.

The Handset and Base Setup Menu

When you open the menu on a handset, this menu is called Handset
Setup. On the base, this menu is called Base Setup. Each of these
options can be set separately for each station. (A station can be any
cordless handset or the base.)

Menu option: Use it to:

(Handset only) Turn on T-coil mode to reduce noise on

The Clock Setup Menu

You must set the date and time if you want to use the handset's alarm
feature. You can set the clock from the base or any cordless handset.
1. Open the menu and select Clock Setup.
2. Use the numbers on the twelve-key dial pad to enter the date.
3. Move the cursor to the next line, then use the dial pad to enter the
time.
4. Press to switch between AM and PM; when you're finished, press

The Global Setup Menu

The settings on this menu are separate for each line: changing the
settings for line 1 will not affect line 2, and vice versa. However, the
settings for each line apply to all stations whenever they use that line.
Before changing these settings, make sure the phone is in standby
and all handsets are within range of the base. (Only one station at a
time can change these settings.)
When you select the Global Setup menu, the phone prompts you to
select Line 1 or Line 2. Then, you can choose one of the following
options to change the global settings for that line:

 Using Your Phone
Working with Two Lines
When performing common tasks, you can let the station use the
primary line, or you can manually choose a particular line for each
task. Using the primary line makes common tasks much simpler, but
you will need to assign a primary line to each station (see below).

Assigning a primary line

You can assign a primary line to each station; the station connects
to its primary line whenever it goes off hook (that is, when you press
TALK/FLASH or SPEAKER). Whenever you want, you can bypass the
20
primary line assignment by manually choosing line for your current
task.
To assign a primary line, open the menu and select Handset Setup or
Base Setup. Select Primary Line, then choose the line you want this
station to connect to when it goes off hook:
Line 1 Always connect to line 1, regardless of either line's status.
Line 2 Always connect to line 2, regardless of either line's status.
Connect to line 1 except under the following circumstances:
Auto - there is an incoming call on line 2
(default - there is a holding call on line 2
setting) - line 1 is being used for an active call
If any one of these conditions is true, the station connects to line 2.

Conferencing two lines together

When you have active calls on both lines, you can join the two lines
together in a conference call.
1. Place the first call on hold.
2. Switch to the other line and start the second call.
3. Press MENU , then select Conference. (On the base, you can also
press CONFERENCE.)

 During a conference call, you can speak with both outside callers
at the same time, and the callers can speak with each other.
 To separate the conference call back into two independent calls,
press the soft key for either line. The other line is automatically put

 Using Multi-station Features
The expandable base works together with the accessory handsets
to give you some useful multi-station features. (A station can be any
cordless handset or the base.) You must have at least one accessory
handset to use the features in this section.

Expanding Your Phone

 Your base supports a total of ten accessory handsets and 2
MULTIRANGETM chargers, including any that were supplied with
your phone. It is compatible with both the DCX400 handset with
charger and the DRX402 handset with MULTIRANGETM charger.
 Your base might be compatible with other Uniden accessory
handsets: please visit our website for a list of compatible handsets.
 Accessory handsets must be registered to the base before you
can use them. Handsets that aren't registered display a Handset
not registered message. For instructions on registering handsets
to this base, see page 40 or refer to the manual that came with the
accessory handset.
 Any accessory handsets that came packaged with the base are
already registered to that base for you.
 If a handset was previously registered to a base, you have to reset
it so you can register it to a new base (see page 40 for DCX400 and
DRX402 handsets).

Using Multi-Station Conference Calling

 When an outside call
comes in on either line, the
base and four cordless
handsets can join in a six-
way conference call with the
outside caller.
 To join a call in progress,
just connect to the active
line (press LINE1 or LINE2 ).
