Welcome
Welcome
Thank you for purchasing a Uniden multi-handset phone with a waterproof handset.
Note: Illustrations in this manual are used for explanation purposes. Some illustrations in this manual may differ
from the actual unit.
What Exactly does “Waterproof Handset” Mean?
Your handset complies with the JIS7 water submersion specications. This means the handset can remain
submerged under 3 feet of water for up to 30 minutes without damage or loss of functionality.
The handset will still receive calls even if it is under water, but you probably won’t be able to hear the ringer. To avoid
any accidents, do not try to use the handset while it is still under water.
After your handset is submerged in water, you might notice that the sound is distorted. This is because there is still
water remaining in and around the speaker and microphone. Just shake the handset to clear excess water, and the
sound should return to normal.
Is the Base Waterproof?
The base is not waterproof: it is water resistant. The cradle uses a special method called magnetic inductive
charging, so it can charge your handset without exposing any electronic components. (You may notice that the
charging contacts are enclosed in plastic and there is no metal showing.) This charging method makes the cradle
safe to use near water or in highly humid environments, but is it not designed to be submerged in water.
If the base falls into water, unplug it ( both the AC adapter and the telephone cord) before attempting to remove it
from the water. Allow the cradle to dry completely before reconnecting the power.
