To switch a normal call to the speakerphone, press 

[

]

 on the handset. To switch back to a normal call, press 

[

]

 again.

4-3. Transferring a Call

You can transfer a call from one handset to another. 

Note: Only one handset at a time can talk with an outside caller. While one handset is in use, other handsets 

cannot listen to conversations or make an outgoing call.

During a call, press 

[delete/transfer]

. This places the call on hold.

Press the number key that matches the handset you want to page (1 for Handset 1, 2 for Handset 2, etc.) or 

press 0 to page all other handsets. (If you only have two handsets, the phone automatically pages the second 

handset for you.)
The handset display shows LINE ON HOLD along with the number of the 

handset you are paging. Both your handset and the paged handset sound 

a paging tone that is distinct from any of the available ringer tones.
If the other handset picks up the call, the paging tone stops, and your 

handset returns to standby.

To cancel the transfer and return to the caller, press 

[delete/transfer]

[TALK/flash]

 or 

[

]

.

If no one picks up the transferred call within five minutes, the call will be disconnected.

To receive a transfer call

When a handset receives a transfer page, it sounds the distinct paging tone and shows CALL TRANSFERRED in 

the display. To answer a transferred call, pick up the handset and press 

[TALK/flash]

 or

4-5. Adjusting the Speaker Volume

You can change the speaker volume on the handset earpiece, or the handset speakerphone.

When you are on a normal call, press 

[ ]

 to make the earpiece louder or 

[ ]

 to make it softer.

The handset display shows the current volume level for the earpiece.

When you are using the speakerphone, use 

[ ]

 or 

[ ]

 to change the speaker volume. The handset display 

shows the current volume level for the handset speakerphone.

There are four volume levels: LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH, and MAXIMUM.

Notes:

The handset earpiece and the handset speakerphone have separate volume settings.

If you hear three quick error beeps, it means the earpiece or speaker is already at the lowest (LOW) or highest 

(MAXIMUM) volume level.

4-6. Finding a Lost Handset

[find hs]

 on the base. All registered handsets will beep for sixty seconds.

To cancel paging, press 

[find hs]

 again or press any key on the found handset.

4-7. Muting the Ringer

When the phone is ringing, you can mute the ringer on the handset. Muting stops the ringer for the current call 

only: the ringer will sound with the next incoming call. You can only mute the handset ringer if the handset is 

already off the cradle when the handset starts ringing. Press 

[END]

 to mute the incoming ring.

4-8. Voice Mail Waiting Indicator

Voice Mail Waiting Indicator

If you subscribe to voice mail service through your local telephone company, you can use your cordless 

telephone to access your voice mailbox. The voice mail company will provide you with the access number.

The 

/in use

 LED on the base of your phone flashes whenever you have messages waiting in your voice mailbox.

To access your voice mailbox

Just dial the access number supplied by your voice mail provider to enter your mailbox. You can program your 

voice mail access number to a speed dial number. 

If the voice mail waiting indicator remains on after you have retrieved your messages, press and hold 

[find hs]

 

for five seconds. This will reset the indicator.

4-9. Using an Optional Headset

To install a headset, remove the headset jack cover and insert the headset plug 

into the headset jack. 

When you connect a headset, the earpiece and speakerphone are automatically 

muted. If you want to re-activate the earpiece or speakerphone, remove the 

headset plug.

You will still make and receive calls as usual: just use your headset to talk to the 

caller once the call connects.

You can purchase headsets from our website at www.uniden.com or by calling our Parts Department (See the 

back cover page).

5) Using Caller ID and Call Waiting

If you subscribe to Caller ID from your phone company, your phone will show you the caller's phone number and 

name (if available) whenever a call comes in. If you subscribe to both Call Waiting and Caller ID, the phone also 

shows you the name and the number of any call that comes in while you're on the line.

receives more Caller ID records than it can store, the oldest record in the list is automatically deleted.

For information on storing Caller ID records in the phonebook, see section 6-6.
