PAGE 4 BATTERIES & SWITCH SETTINGS CHARGING THE BATTERIES Charge the batteries for 12-15 hours before using the cordless handset for the first time. The handset is always charging while it is in the base unit and cannot be overcharged. From fully charged, you should get 7 hours continuous use and 14 days use when the handset is in the standby mode (charging in the base). PAGE FEATURES & PROGRAMMING IMPORTANT FEATURE INFORMATION The CP-1260 features include AutoTalkTM and AutoStandbyTM . 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 or flipping switches. AutoStandby allows you to hang up by simply returning the handset to the base. The Ultra Clear® Noise Reduction Circuit virtually eliminates background noise. This innovative technology provides you with the best possible reception during all your conversations. To protect you against misbilled calls which might result from your phone being activated by other equipment, the CP-1260 has Random CodeTM digital security which automatically selects one of over 65,000 digital security codes for the handset and base. Also, the AutoSecureTM feature electronically locks your phone when the handset is on the base. 5 SWITCH SETTINGS The CP-1260 has two switches. The TONE/ PULSE SWITCH and BASE RINGER ON/OFF SWITCH are on the back side of the base CP-1260. PROGRAMMING THE HANDSET RINGER VOLUME AND TONE The handset ringer can be programmed to ring with one of four ringer selections. There are two distinct ringer tones in the handset and each ringer tone has two different volume levels. TONE/PULSE SERVICE The TONE/PULSE SWITCH (on the back side of the base unit) configures the unit to dial out with either touchtone or pulse signals to match the service supplied by your local telephone company. The CP-1260 is shipped with the TONE/PULSE SWITCH in the TONE position for touchtone service. If you have rotary or pulse service, set this switch to PULSE. 1 2 Check the AC Adapter to see that it is connected correctly to the base unit and wall outlet. Place the handset in the base CP-1260 face up or face down. Make sure that the STATUS INDICATOR on the base unit is lit to indicate that the CP-1260 is charging. 1 2 3 In the standby mode, press VOLUME. PULSE = for Rotary dialing or Pulse services TONE = for Touchtone service NOTES: s The battery pack will gradually discharge over a long period of time even when it is not being used. For the best performance, return the handset to the base unit after each telephone call to charge the battery. s If you must replace the battery pack during a telephone call, complete the replacement of the battery pack within 30 seconds, and you can return to the original call. Each time VOLUME is pressed, the ringer tone setting changes and the handset will ring for two seconds with the chosen ringer tone to verify your choice. The handset will now use this ringer tone and volume whenever it rings. BASE RINGER ON/OFF The CP-1260 is shipped with the base ringer ON/OFF SWITCH set to "ON." To turn the base ringer OFF, move the switch (located on the left side of the CP-1260) to the "OFF" position. AUTOMATIC DIGITAL SECURITY CODE This identification code is used to connect the handset and the base unit. It protects communication between the handset and base, preventing unauthorized access to your base unit, so that other cordless handsets cannot make calls through your base unit. A random digital security code is automatically assigned out of 65,000 codes, the first time you charge the handset in the base. If you need to reset the security code, see page 18. BASE SPEAKER VOLUME To control the speaker volume of the base, adjust the VOLUME slide switch as desired. Auto Talk, Auto Standby, Random Code, and Auto Secure are proprietary trademarks of Uniden America Corporation.

NOTE: s The batteries can be recharged many times, but if you get a low battery indication even after 12-15 hours of charging, you should replace the battery pack. The CP-1260 is in standby mode whenever it is idle, waiting for a call. It is not necessary to press TALK to disconnect the call.
