Seꢀng Up Your Handset
Install the Baꢂery
1. Unpack the handset, battery pack, and
battery cover. If the battery cover is
already on the handset, press in on
the notch and slide the cover down
and off.
2. Line up the battery pack connector
with the jack inside the handset.
(The battery connector only fits one way.)
3. Push the battery pack connector in until it clicks into place.
Tug gently on the wires to make sure the battery pack is
securely connected.
4. Place the cover over the battery compartment and slide it
up into place.
Connect the Charger

charger's
jack and
AC IN 6.5V
route the cord as shown. (This
adapter might already be
connected.)
2. Plug the other end of the
adapter into a standard 120V AC power outlet.
3. Place the handset in the charger with the display facing
forward. The display on the handset should light up; if it
doesn't, reseat the handset or try plugging the AC adapter
into a different outlet.
#
Charge the handset completely (about 15 hours) before using it.
3
Registering the Handset
#
Registering the handset is a separate process from registering the
MULTIRANGETM charger. You can use the handset normally even
if the charger is not registered.
#
The accessory handset will not work until you register it to a
base!
Compaꢀble Bases
This handset is designed for use with Uniden's DECT3380
base. Other Uniden DECT6.0 bases might be compatible with
this handset. For up-to-date list of compatible bases for this
handset, see our website.
Register the handset
In most cases, all you need to do is place the handset in the
base. The display should say Handset Registering
.
If the handset doesn't fit in the base cradle or if the base has a
corded handset, follow the steps below:

Using the Handset
y
When the handset registers to a base, it adapts its software
to match that specific base. This means that the exact
features and operation of the handset will vary slightly
depending on which base you register the handset to. Refer
to the user guide for the base you're registering the handset
to for feature descriptions.
y
y
All features and operation for the handset are described
in the user's guide for one of the bases listed under the
Compatible Bases section.
User guides for all Uniden phones are available on our
website for free downloading.

Using the MULTIRANGETM Charger
How It Works
The DRX332 MULTIRANGETM charger extends the range of your
base in all directions, including up and down. Each handset will
automatically connect to the charger or the base, depending on
which signal is stronger. (The handset operates exactly the
same way whether it's connected to the base or to the
MULTIRANGE charger.)
Base Coverage Area
Handsets in this area always
connect to the base.
Overlap Coverage
Area

MULTIRANGETM
charger
Handsets in
this area might
connect to the
base or the charger.
Extended Coverage Area
Handsets in this area
always connect to the
charger.
y
To use the charger's MULTIRANGE function, you must
register the charger to a DECT3380 base. (Any MULTIRANGE
chargers that came packaged with the base are already
registered to that base for you.)
6
y
y
Each of these bases can support up to two DRX332
MULTIRANGE chargers, including any that were supplied
with your phone.
Usually, you can't tell when a handset switches between the
base and the charger in the middle of a call, but sometimes,
you might notice a brief pause in your conversation.
Registering the MULTIRANGE charger
#
Registering the MULTIRANGE charger is a separate process from
registering the handset. You can use the charger even if the
handset is not registered.
FIND
1. On the base, press and hold
standby.
when the phone is in
2. On the bottom of the
MULTIRANGE charger, press
and hold the registration
button until the
light
LINK
starts to blink (about 2
seconds).
3. Release the button and wait
for the
light to turn on
LINK
and steady (this can take
about 90 seconds).
If the
light doesn't turn on, disconnect the charger's AC
LINK
adapter. Wait about 20 seconds, then try these steps again.
7
Some important things to remember:
y
Only register one charger at a time. If more than one charger
is in registration mode at the same time, they can interfere
with each other.
y
If you want to use the MULTIRANGE charger with a different
base, just register the charger to the new base. The charger
automatically erases the link to the old base when it
registers to the new one.
y
Only register the charger to one base at a time. If more than
one base is in registration mode at the same time, you can't
control which base the charger registers to.
Placing the MULTIRANGE charger
Here are a few tips for placing your MULTIRANGE charger so
that you get the clearest signal and the maximum range:
y
y
Make sure you have good reception from the base.
Put the charger at least 35 feet away from the base or any
other charger. (If you put the charger on a different floor
from the base, don't forget to allow 35 feet vertically, also.)
Picking the best spot
The best spot for the MULTIRANGE
charger is as far from the
base as possible while
still maintaining a good
signal, or near the edge of
the base’s coverage area.
To find the edge of the
coverage area:
1. Stand near the base
and make a call on
the handset.
8
2. While on the call, carry the handset away from the base
towards the general area where you want to put the
charger.
3. Watch the signal strength icon on the handset. Make a note
where the icon drops from 4 bars to 3 bars.
4. Continue walking away from the base. Make a note where
the signal strength icon drops from 3 bars to 2 or if you
start to hear noise on the line (which indicates the signal is
getting weaker).
5. Place the charger anywhere inside the range where the
signal strength icon showed 3 bars and the handset had a
clear signal with no noise.
Tesꢀng the locaꢀon
Connect the charger's AC adapter and make sure the
light
LINK
comes on steadily. If the light flashes, the MULTIRANGE charger
is not getting a good signal from the base. The charger may be
too far away from the base, there may be interference from
electronic devices, or the signal might be blocked by thick walls
or metal objects. Try moving the charger to another location.

Battery Information
y
Fully charged, the battery should provide about 10 hours of
talk time and about 7 days of standby time. For best results,
return the handset to the cradle after each call to keep it
fully charged.
y
Keep an eye on the battery status icon. When the battery
gets too low, the handset shows a low battery alert. If you
hear a strange beep during a call, check the display: if you
see the low battery alert, finish your conversation as quickly
as possible and return the handset to the cradle. If the
handset is in standby, none of the keys will operate.
10
y
With normal use, the battery should last about one year.
Replace the battery when the talk time becomes short even
when the battery is charged. To buy a replacement battery,
call the Parts Department listed on the front cover.
