Using the Repeater
How it works
An XDECT R005 repeater can extend the range of your base in all
directions, including up and down. The XDECT R005 repeater unit is
also a charger for the accessory handset.
Each handset will automatically connect to the repeater or the base,
depending on which signal is stronger, and the handset operates
exactly the same way whether it's connected to the base or to the
repeater.
The repeaters must be registered to the base before you can use
them. Any repeaters that come packaged with the base are
already registered to that base. For instructions on registering
repeaters to the base, see page 50.
Note: Base range (grey
area) and repeater range

Repeaters can be up to 3 chain-links (maximum) from the base
Example of coverage area with 6 repeaters (maximum total)
You can
roam anywhere
within range of the
base or the
repeater(s) and make and
receive calls as usual from your handsets.
If you want to use the repeater with a new base, simply register
the repeater to the new base (see page 50). The repeater
overwrites its own link to the base.
Placing repeaters
Here are a few tips for placing your repeater so that you get the
clearest signal and the maximum range:
Make sure you have good reception from the base
For best performance put the repeater at least 10m away from
the base or any other repeater. (If you install the repeater on a
different floor from the base, don't forget to allow 10m vertically,
also).
If possible, mount the repeater on the wall.

Picking the best spot
The best spot for the repeater is as far from the base as possible
while still maintaining a good signal, or near the edge of the base’s
coverage area. To find the edge of the coverage area:
1. Stand near the base
and make a call on
the handset.
2. While on the call,
carry the handset
away from the base
towards the general
area where you want
to put the repeater.
3. Watch the signal
strength icon on the
handset. Make a
note where the icon
drops from 4 bars to
3 bars.
4. Continue walking
away from the base.
Make a note where the signal strength icon drops from 3 bars to 2
or if you start to hear noise on the line (which indicates the signal
is getting weaker).
5. Place the repeater anywhere inside the range where the signal
strength icon showed 3 bars and the handset had a clear signal
with no noise.
Testing the location
lINk
Connect the repeater's AC adapter and make sure the
comes on and steady. If the light flashes, the repeater
is not getting a good signal. The repeater may be too
far away from the base, there may be interference
from electronic devices, or the signal might be
blocked by thick walls or metal objects. Try
light
moving the repeater to another location.

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.
2
For example, if you press the number key once, the phone
2
enters the letter
A
. Press 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 four times
2
2
in a row, the phone enters
and six times for
a
(small letter). Press five times for
b,
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 ( ). The icon [aA] means the phone starts at the small
2
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

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 six XDECT R005 accessory
handsets, including any that were supplied with your phone.
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 49 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 49 for XDECT
R005 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
LINE1
line (press
or
LINE2
).

To leave a conference call, hang up normally; all other stations
remains connected to the call.
If you conference line 1 and line 2 together (see page 23), the
base and four cordless handsets can hold a seven-way call with
both outside callers at the same time.
You can also use the speakerphone for a conference call, just like
you can with a normal call.
Using Privacy Mode
You can prevent other stations from joining a call. Start your call as

usual, then press
and select Call Privacy. When you hang up,
privacy mode turns off automatically.
As long you have privacy mode on, no other stations can interrupt

Using Call Block
If you subscribe to Caller ID, you can block incoming calls by adding

When either line receives a call, the phone compares the received
phone number to the numbers on the call block list. If the phone
number is on the list, the phone replaces the caller's name with
Call Blocked and disconnects the call. (The caller hears a reject
message.)
The call block list holds 20 entries; this list applies to all stations
and both lines.
You can add a number to the call block list through the CID list
options (select Add Call Block), or through the Call Blocking menu
(select New Entry).
Only one station can edit the call block list at a time.

new message waiting on either line. When
you have new messages, the voice
message icon
(

and the new message light (at the top of the
handset) blinks.
Resetting the voice message indicator
If the voice message icon remains after you
check your messages, you can reset it from
the base:
1. Open the menu and select Global Setup

Using the answering System
Each line has a separate answering system. Whenever you access
the answering system, the phone prompts you to choose a line.
After that, any settings or operations will affect only the answering
system for that line. For example, deleting all the messages from the
answering system from line 1 does not affect any messages on the
answering system for line 2.
Setting Up Your answering System

or the handset’s battery may be weak.
Try moving around while you’re on a call or moving closer to the
base to see if the sound gets louder.
Make sure the handset’s battery is fully charged.
Try adjusting the earpiece volume.
Noise or Static On The Line
Interference is the most common cause of noise or static on a
cordless phone. Here are some common sources of interference:
electrical appliances, especially microwave ovens
computer equipment, especially wireless LAN equipment and DSL
modems
47
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
radio-based wireless devices, such as room monitors, wireless
controllers, or wireless
Do you use a T-Coil hearing aid?
headphones or
speakers
large fluorescent light
fixtures (especially if
they give off a buzzing
noise)
other services that
use your phone line,
like alarm systems,
intercom systems, or
broadband Internet
service
If you have a hearing aid equipped with
a telecoil (T-coil) feature, the interaction
between the hearing aid and digital cordless
phones can cause noise in the handset. If
you have a T-coil hearing aid and you have
problems with noise on the line, try turning
on T-coil mode. Open the menu; select
Handset Setup, then select T-coil
.
Using T-coil mode can shorten the handset’s
talk time; make sure to watch the battery
status and keep the battery charged.
Here are some hints for when the static is...
on 1 handset or in 1 location:
on all handsets or in all locations:
- Check nearby for one of the common
interference sources.
- Check near the base for the source
of interference.
- Try moving the handset away from a
suspected source, or try moving the
suspected source so it’s not between
the handset and the base.
- Try moving closer to the base. There
is always more noise at the edges
of the base's range. If the handset
displays an Out of Range message,
you need to move closer to the base.
- Try moving the base away from a
suspected source, or turn off the
source if possible.
- If the base has an adjustable
antenna, try raising the antenna so
it stands straight up.
- If you have any service that uses
the phone line, you might need a
filter (see below).
Installing a line filter or DSL filter
Sometimes, broadband Internet
services that use the telephone line
can interfere with phones. One of
these services -DSL- often causes
static on telephones. A DSL filter or
Telephone
wall jack
Telephone
cord
DSL filter
telephone line filter usually solves this problem. The technician who
installed your DSL service might have left some filters for you; if not,
call your DSL provider or look in any electronics store.
Plug the DSL filter into the telephone wall jack and plug your phone’s
base into the filter. Make a test call to make sure the noise is gone.

Handling Liquid Damage
Moisture and liquid can damage your cordless phone.
If the handset or base is exposed to moisture or liquid, but only the
exterior plastic housing is affected, wipe off the liquid, and use as
normal.
If moisture or liquid has entered the plastic housing (i.e. liquid can
be heard in the phone or liquid has entered the handset battery
compartment or vent openings on the base), follow these steps:

Battery Information
Fully charged, the battery should provide about 8 hours of talk time and about 7 days of standby
time. For best results, return the handset to the cradle after each call to keep it fully charged.
Keep an eye on the battery status icon. When the battery gets too low, the handset shows a
low battery alert. If you hear a strange beep during a call, check the display: if you see the low
battery alert, finish your conversation as quickly as possible and return the handset to the cradle.
If the handset is in standby, none of the keys will operate.
With normal use, the battery should last about one year. Replace the battery when the talk
time becomes short even when the battery is charged. To buy a replacement battery, visit the
