The TRUc56 series features include AutoTalk™ and AutoStandby™. AutoTalk allows you to answer a call by just

removing the handset from the base so you don’t have to waste time pushing buttons. AutoStandby allows you

to hang up by simply returning the handset to the base.

To protect you against mis-billed calls, which might result from your phone being activated by other equipment,

the TRUc56 series has Random Code™ digital security, which automatically selects one of over 65,000 digital

security codes for the handset and base.

RocketDial™ is a one touch speed dial key that automatically dials your most important or frequently called

number. The number dialed, is a preset number stored by the user.

Digital Spread Spectrum Technology utilizes a “wider frequency band” vs. a “single narrow band” used in standard

digital transmissions. The result is a more secure conversation with the clarity of digital sound, extended range,

and minimal interference from other cordless phones.

Telephone Line Problems

Installation Considerations

Selecting a Location

One Year Limited Warranty

The FCC has granted the telephone company the right to disconnect

service in the event that your phone causes problems on the

telephone line. Also, the telephone company may make changes in

facilities and services which may affect the operation of your unit.

However, your telephone company must give adequate notice in

writing prior to such actions to allow you time for making necessary

arrangements to continue uninterrupted service.

Important: Evidence of original purchase is required

for warranty service.

Before choosing a location for your new phone, there are some

important guidelines you should consider:

WARRANTOR: UNIDEN AMERICA CORPORATION (“Uniden”)

• The location should be close to both a phone jack and continuous

power outlet. (A continuous power outlet is an AC outlet which

does not have a switch to interrupt its power.)

ELEMENTS OF WARRANTY: Uniden warrants, for one year, to the

original retail owner, this Uniden Product to be free from

defects in materials and craftsmanship with only the limitations

or exclusions set out below.

• Keep the base and handset away from sources of electrical noise

If you are having trouble with your telephone service, you must first

disconnect your phone to determine if it is the cause of your

problem. If you determine that it is the cause, you must leave it

disconnected until the trouble has been corrected.

such as motors or fluorescent lighting.

WARRANTY DURATION: This warranty to the original user shall

terminate and be of no further effect 12 months after the date

of original retail sale. The warranty is invalid if the Product is

(A) damaged or not maintained as reasonable or necessary,

(B) modified, altered, or used as part of any conversion kits,

subassemblies, or any configurations not sold by Uniden,

other than an authorized Uniden service center for a defect or

malfunction covered by this warranty, (E) used in any

•

Be sure there is sufficient space to fully extend the base antenna.

• The base can be placed on a desk or tabletop or mounted on a

standard telephone wall plate.

• You should charge your new phone for 3-5 hours before

completing the installation or using the handset.

Radio Interference

Radio interference may occasionally cause buzzing and humming in

your cordless handset, or clicking noises in the base. This

interference is caused by external sources such as TV, refrigerator,

vacuum cleaner, fluorescent lighting, or electrical storm. Your unit is

NOT DEFECTIVE. If these noises continue and are too distracting,

please check around your home to see what appliances may be

causing the problem. In addition, we recommend that the base not

be plugged into a circuit that also powers a major appliance

because of the potential for interference. Be certain that the

antenna on the unit is fully extended when needed.

Telephone Line Outlets

There are two types of phone outlets:

conjunction with equipment or parts or as part of any system

not manufactured by Uniden, or (F) installed or programmed by

anyone other than as detailed by the owner’s manual for this product.

Modular Jack

Most phone equipment available now uses modular jacks. Phone

cords are fitted with a molded plastic connector which plugs into

this type of jack. If you do not have modular phone jacks,

contact your local telephone company for information about

their installation.

STATEMENT OF REMEDY: In the event that the product does not

conform to this warranty at any time while this warranty is in

effect, warrantor will either, at its option, repair or replace the

defective unit and return it to you without charge for parts,

service, or any other cost (except shipping and handling)

incurred by warrantor or its representatives in connection with

the performance of this warranty. Warrantor, at its option, may

replace the unit with a new or refurbished unit. THE LIMITED

WARRANTY SET FORTH ABOVE IS THE SOLE AND ENTIRE

WARRANTY PERTAINING TO THE PRODUCT AND IS IN LIEU OF AND

EXCLUDES ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER,

WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR ARISING BY OPERATION OF LAW,

INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF

MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THIS

WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER OR PROVIDE FOR THE

In the unlikely event that you consistently hear other voices or

distracting transmissions on your phone, you may be receiving radio

signals from another cordless telephone or other source of

interference. If you cannot eliminate this type of interference, you

need to change to a different channel.

Finally, it should be noted that some cordless telephones operate at

frequencies that may cause interference to nearby TVs and VCRs. To

minimize or prevent such interference, the base of the cordless

telephone should not be placed near or on top of a TV or VCR. If

interference is experienced, moving the cordless telephone farther

away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate

the interference.

Hardwired Jack

Some equipment is wired directly to a phone jack, and these types

of installations require a modular jack converter. This type of

installation is not difficult; however, you should contact your

Uniden telephone dealer or a telephone supply store for advice

about the proper adapter or converter for your particular situation.

Connecting the Telephone Cords

Consider these safety guidelines before connecting the

telephone cords:

REIMBURSEMENT OR PAYMENT OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL

DAMAGES. Some states do not allow this exclusion or limitation

of incidental or consequential damages so the above limitation or

exclusion may not apply to you.

Caution!

• Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.

• Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the

telephone line has been disconnected.

More than One Cordless Telephone

If you want to use more than one cordless telephone in your home,

they must operate on different channels. Press the channel key to

select a channel that provides the clearest communication.

LEGAL REMEDIES: This warranty gives you specific legal rights,

and you may also have other rights which vary from state to

state. This warranty is void outside the United States of America.

• Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.

Applying Power to the Base

PROCEDURE FOR OBTAINING PERFORMANCE OF WARRANTY: If,

after following the instructions in the owner’s manual you are

certain that the Product is defective, pack the Product carefully

(preferably in its original packaging). The Product should

include all parts and accessories originally packaged with the

Product. Include evidence of original purchase and a note

describing the defect that has caused you to return it. The

Product should be shipped freight prepaid, by traceable means,

to warrantor at:

Cordless Telephone Privacy

This phone requires an AC outlet, without a switch to interrupt

power, and the included AC adapter. To relieve strain on the DC plug

when the phone is placed on a desk or table, wrap the power cord

around the strain relief notch on the bottom of the base.

Cordless telephones are radio devices. Communications between the

handset and base of your cordless telephone are accomplished by

means of radio waves which are broadcast over the open airways.

Because of the inherent physical properties of radio waves, your

communications can be received by radio receiving devices other

than your own cordless telephone unit. Consequently, any

NOTE:

Place the power cord so that it does not create a trip

hazard, or where it could become chafed and create a

fire or other electrical hazards.

communications using your cordless telephone may not be private.

Plug the AC Adapter into a standard 120 VAC wall outlet.
