Precautions  
Before you read anything else, please observe the following:  
Rechargeable Nickel-Cadmium Battery Warning  
This equipment contains a Rechargeable Nickel-Cadmium Battery.  
Cadmium is a chemical known to the state of California to cause cancer.  
Do not charge Rechargeable Nickel-Cadmium batteries with any charger other than the one  
specified in this guide. Using another charger may damage the battery or cause the battery  
to explode.  
Rechargeable Nickel-Cadmium Batteries  
must be recycled or disposed of properly!  
Uniden voluntarily participates in an RBRC® industry program to collect and recycle  
nickel-cadmium batteries at the end of their useful life, when taken out of service within the  
United States. The RBRC® program provides a convenient alternative to placing used  
nickel-cadmium batteries into the trash or municipal waste stream, which is illegal in some areas.  
Through the RBRC® program, Uniden makes it easy for you to drop off the used battery at local  
retailers of replacement nickel-cadmium batteries. You may also contact your local recycling  
center for information on where to return the used battery. Please call 1-800-8-BATTERY for  
information on Ni-Cd battery recycling in your area. Uniden’s involvement in this program is part  
of its commitment to protecting our environment and conserving natural resources.

Safety Information For Wireless Handheld Phones  
Read this section before using your PCD2000A cellular telephone.  
Exposure To Radio Frequency Signals  
Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power radio  
transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also  
sends out radio frequency (RF) signals.  
Antenna Care  
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna.  
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could  
damage the phone and may violate FCC regulations.  
In August, 1996, the Federal Communications Commission  
(FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for  
handheld wireless phones. Those guidelines are consistent with  
the safety standards previously set by both U.S. and  
international standards bodies:  
Phone Operation  
Normal Position  
Hold the phone as you would any other telephone with the  
antenna pointed up and over your shoulder.  
ANSI C95.1 (1992)  
NCRP Report 86 (1986)  
ICNIRP (1996)  
Tips On Efficient Operation  
For your phone to operate most efficiently:  
Extend your antenna fully.  
Those standards were based on comprehensive and  
periodic evaluations of the relevant scientific literature. For  
example, over 120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from  
universities, government health agencies, and industry  
reviewed the available body of research to develop the ANSI  
Standard (C95.1).  
Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is in  
use. Contact with the antenna affects call quality and may  
cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than  
otherwise needed.  
The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines  
(and those standards).  
4
Driving  
Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the  
potential for interference.  
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless  
telephones in the areas where you drive. Always obey them.  
Also, if using your phone while driving, please:  
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is  
taking place, turn your phone OFF immediately.  
Other Medical Devices  
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the  
manufacturer of your device to determine if they are adequately  
shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able  
to assist you in obtaining this information.  
Give full attention to driving — driving safely is your first  
responsibility.  
Use hands-free operation, if available:  
Pull off the road and park before making or answering a  
call if driving conditions so require.  
Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations  
posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care  
facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external  
RF energy.  
Electronic Devices  
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals.  
However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded  
against the RF signals from your wireless phone.  
Vehicles  
Pacemakers  
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately  
shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the  
manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle. You  
should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has  
been added to your vehicle.  
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends  
that a minimum separation of six (6”) inches be maintained  
between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid  
potential interference with the pacemaker. These  
recommendations are consistent with the independent research  
by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.  
For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag  
An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects,  
including both installed or portable wireless equipment, in the  
area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If  
in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air  
bag inflates, serious injury could result.  
Persons with pacemakers:  
Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches  
from their pacemaker when the phone is turned ON.  
Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.  
5
Posted Facilities  
Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notices  
so require.  
Aircraft  
FCC Regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air.  
Switch OFF your phone before boarding an aircraft.  
Blasting Areas  
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone  
OFF when in a “blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn off  
two-way radio.” Obey all signs and instructions.  
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres  
Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially  
explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions.  
Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting  
in bodily injury or even death.  
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often but not  
always clearly marked. They include fueling areas such as  
gasoline stations; below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer  
or storage facilities; vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such  
as propane or butane); areas where the air contains chemicals  
or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders; and any  
other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your  
vehicle engine.

Advanced Functions  
When you travel, your PCD2000A has several advanced System Selection  
functions that can put your cellular in service, or eliminate  
unnecessary long distance or ROAM charges. These  
functions are:  
When you re traveling, you may need to change your A/B  
System so you can eliminate the NO SERVICE indicator.  
You may also need to select a different system whenever  
you change the telephone number or select the  
programmed SID. Some systems are “wireline”  
(conventional telephone network), and some are  
“non-wireline.” Ask your service provider for more  
information about these systems.

Before changing your system, check and record the

If you regularly travel between two different cities, you  
can have a different telephone number (NAM) assigned  
to each location. If ROAM is displayed, and you are in  
one of your NAM locations, then you need to select the  
proper NAM (NAM 1 or NAM 2).

method (collect, third telephone number). Your cellular  
service company can give you the information before you  
make the trip. If that is not possible, simply dialing a call  
will, in many cases, provide needed information.  
A TO B and B TO A are used when you travel in areas  
where cellular coverage is weak or split into several system  
types. This allows you to avoid switching back and forth  
manually, reducing the chances of missing calls. However,  
you may incur double roaming charges.  
Roaming  
Many carriers (airtime providers) make arrangements with  
carriers in other cities to allow use of mobile telephones in  
areas other than your Home area. If you are traveling in an  
area where cellular service is provided, and you wish to

You may hear a recording (no airtime charge) that gives  
procedures for roaming calls and connects you  
immediately (during business hours) to a registration  
clerk. If you cannot obtain roaming services on one  
carrier, try switching to the other type. It is important to  
remember that the ROAM indicator does not mean the  
phone is authorized to make calls; only that a system  
other than the Home system is detected.  
SID (System Identification)  
In general, metropolitan areas are served by more that  
one service provider. Under certain circumstances you  
may be roaming in an area that has two A systems or two  
B systems that overlap, and you could be charged two  
roaming charges. To prevent this double charging,  
program the System Identification Number (SID) for that  
area and then activate the number when you are in that  
location. (You will get the SID form the service provider in  
that location.)
