Call Blocking
This menu lets you block unwanted calls from up to 20 phone
numbers and manage your call block list (see page 16).
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.
For example, if you press the number key 2 once, the phone
enters the letter A. Press 2 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 2 four times
in a row, the phone enters a (small letter). Press 2 five times for b,
and six times for 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 (2). The icon [aA] means the phone starts at the small
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
letter, then use Caller ID/right to move the cursor to the next
position to enter the second letter.

Using Call Block
If you subscribe to Caller ID, you can save phone numbers to the call
block list. When a call comes in, 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 guidance.)
The call block list holds 20 entries, and all stations share the same
list. You can add entries through the Call Blocking menu, from the CID
list, or by blocking incoming calls. (Only one station can edit the call
block list at a time.)
Blocking incoming calls (Base only)
When the phone rings, wait until the display shows the Caller ID
information (usually after the second ring). If you want to block the
call and add this number to the call block list, press BLOCK on the
base. When the phone asks you to confirm, press Menu/select or
Block.
Blocking an incoming call from an "Unknown" or "Private"
number is the same as selecting Unknown Number or Private
Number from the Call Blocking menu.
Call Blocking menu options
With the phone in standby, open the menu and select Call Blocking.
Choose one of these options:
View Number See the numbers on your call block list.

you want. Press Menu/select to open the individual entry menu.
Choose one of these options:
(Handset only) Edit this entry. The phone will prompt you to edit
Edit
the name & phone number.
Delete Erase this entry from the list & allow calls from this number.
Using Voice Message Notification
This feature supports Frequency-Shift Keying (FSK) message
notification. Contact your voice mail provider for more details.
If you subscribe to a voice mail service, your phone
can notify you when you have a new message
waiting. When you have new messages, the voice
message icon ( ) appears in the display, 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. Open the menu on
the base and select VMWI Reset. Select Yes to reset the indicator.

17
Using Multi-station Features
The expandable base and the cordless handset give you some useful
multi-station features. (A station can be any handset or the base.)
Expanding Your Phone
 Your base supports a total of six cordless handsets: the one
that came with the base and up to five XDECT 7005 accessory
handsets.
 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 27 or the manual for 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 27 for XDECT
7005).
Using Conference Calling Outside call

Weak or Hard To Hear Audio
If a caller’s voice sounds weak or soft, the signal might be blocked by
large metal objects or walls; you might also be too far from the base,
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 or the audio tone (see below).
Adjust the audio tone
During a call, open the menu and select Audio Tone. Choose one of
the three audio tone options: High Tone, Natural Tone (recommended
for hearing aid users), or Low Tone. You may have to experiment to
figure out which audio tone works best for you.
