Changing the Digital Security Code

The digital security code is an identification code used to connect the handset and the main base unit. This cordless telephone uses a digital security code to prevent unauthorized access to your base unit. This security code prevents other cordless handset from making calls through your base unit. Normally, setting the code is not necessary.

The first time you charge your handset, the security code is automatically set.

In the rare situation that you suspect another cordless telephone is using the same security code, you can change the code.

1)Remove the handset from the main base unit. Press and hold find handset on the main base.

2)The handset begins emitting a paging sound. While holding find handset, place the handset on the main base unit. The paging sound stops.

Leave the handset on the main base for more than 3 seconds. A new random security code is set.

Installing the Beltclip

To attach the beltclip

Insert the beltclip into the holes on each side of the handset. Press down until it clicks.

To remove the beltclip

Pull both sides of the beltclip to release the tabs from the holes.

Headset Installation

Your phone may be used with an optional headset, the Uniden HS910. To use this feature, insert headset plug into the headset jack.

Your phone is ready for hands-free conversations.

(Headset may be purchased by calling the Uniden Parts Department or visiting the web site. See Page 7.)

You can change the phone’s digital security code on either handset. However, you must re-register the other handset (not used to change the digital security code) back to the main base unit. See registration on page 12.

If the handset battery pack is completely discharged or the battery pack is removed, the digital security code will be lost. If this happens, a new security code is set automatically next time the battery pack is charged in the main base.
