Important Information Read this section before using your PCD1000 cellular telephone. The PCD1000 is a radio transmitter and receiver. When the phone is on, the antenna is the part of the phone that sends out and receives radio frequency (RF) energy in the 824 to 894 MHz range using common frequency modulation (FM) techniques. When you use your phone, the cellular system handling your call controls the power level (usually 0.006 watts to 3 watts) at which your phone transmits. In 1991, the institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and in 1992 the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) updated the 1982 ANSI Standard for safety levels with respect to human exposure to RF energy. Over 120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities, government health agencies, and industry, after reviewing the available body of research, developed this updated Standard. In March, 1993, the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) proposed the adoption of this updated Standard. For the safe and efficient operation of your phone, observe these guidelines: 1. Warning: Uniden America Corporation does not represent this unit to have been waterproofed. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, fire hazard, or damage to the unit, do not expose to rain or moisture. 2. Do not operate this cellular phone when holding the antenna, or when any person is within 4 inches of the antenna. To limit RF exposure, control the duration of your calls. 3. Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with the skin, a minor burn may result. If the antenna is damaged, replace it with a 4. Uniden-approved antenna before operating the phone. Contact your Uniden dealer for more information. When using your phone while driving, Uniden recommends that you only use the phone when the vehicle is stationary. This ensures that you maintain full attention to driving while the vehicle is in motion. You are responsible for driving safely and using reasonable judgment while using your cellular phone. RF energy from cellular telephones may affect some personal medical devices (pacemakers, hearing aids, etc.) Consult your physician or the device manufacturer for information regarding the effect of RF energy on personal medical devices. Do not use this cellular phone in an airplane. Do not allow children to play with the phone. It is not a toy. Children could hurt themselves or others (by poking themselves or others in the eye with the antenna, for example). Children could also damage the phone or make calls that increase your telephone bills. Obey the warning signs that require mobile radios to be turned off. This is typically required near construction sites where blasting occurs, and in health care facilities. Turn your phone off when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. These areas include fueling areas such as gas stations, below deck on boats, chemical transfer and storage facilities, and areas where the air contains particles (grain, dust, or metal powders.) 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 1 Contents Welcome!........................................................................3 Included with the PCD1000...........................................4 Features..........................................................................5 Fast Start ........................................................................6 Charging the Battery ...................................................6 Antenna .......................................................................7 Power ..........................................................................7 Calling .........................................................................8 Memory - Store..........................................................10 Entering Alpha Characters ........................................13 Storing and Dialing the Emergency One-Touch Number......................................................................15 Memory - Phone Number Review .............................15 Memory - Search.......................................................16 PCD1000 Setup............................................................ 17 Setting Volumes ........................................................ 18 Setting Call Timers.................................................... 19 Setting Systems for the PCD1000 ............................ 20 Selecting Number Assignment Modules (NAM)........ 20 Advanced Functions ................................................... 21 NAM Selection .......................................................... 21 System Selection ...................................................... 21 Roaming.................................................................... 22 SID (System Identification) ....................................... 22 Optional Accessories and Replacement Parts......... 23 Specifications .............................................................. 24 2 Welcome!

Battery Alarm A Battery Warning Tone sounds when the battery charge is low. The battery icon flashes and the message, RECHARGE BATTERY, displays on the LCD. Battery Memory Effect Rechargeable batteries can develop a "memory" (reduced charge capacity) caused by repeated charge and discharge cycles. Rechargeable batteries that have developed this effect will not operate to their fullest capacity. To Avoid Memory Effect: Operate the unit until the Rechargeable Battery is completely discharged before recharging. Do not "top off" the charge after using for a short time. Also, do not charge the Rechargeable Battery for extended periods of time. To Erase Memory Effect: Operate the unit until the Rechargeable Battery is completely discharged, then recharge fully. Repeat this process at least three (3) times. 6 Antenna Before placing or receiving a call, pull antenna up until it clicks into place. Power Power ON Press and hold end for about three seconds.
