Precautions
Before you read anything else, please observe the following:
Rechargeable Nickel-Cadmium Battery Warning
This equipment contains a Rechargeable Nickel-Cadmium Battery.
Cadmium is a chemical known to the state of California to cause cancer.
Do not charge Rechargeable Nickel-Cadmium batteries with any charger other than the one
specified in this guide. Using another charger may damage the battery or cause the battery
to explode.
Rechargeable Nickel-Cadmium Batteries
must be recycled or disposed of properly!
Uniden voluntarily participates in an RBRC® industry program to collect and recycle
nickel-cadmium batteries at the end of their useful life, when taken out of service within the
United States. The RBRC® program provides a convenient alternative to placing used
nickel-cadmium batteries into the trash or municipal waste stream, which is illegal in some areas.
Through the RBRC® program, Uniden makes it easy for you to drop off the used battery at local
retailers of replacement nickel-cadmium batteries. You may also contact your local recycling
center for information on where to return the used battery. Please call 1-800-8-BATTERY for
information on Ni-Cd battery recycling in your area. Uniden’s involvement in this program is part
of its commitment to protecting our environment and conserving natural resources.

Safety Information For Wireless Handheld Phones
Read this section before using your PCD2000A cellular telephone.
Exposure To Radio Frequency Signals
Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power radio
transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also
sends out radio frequency (RF) signals.
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna.
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could
damage the phone and may violate FCC regulations.
In August, 1996, the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for
handheld wireless phones. Those guidelines are consistent with
the safety standards previously set by both U.S. and
international standards bodies:
Phone Operation
Normal Position
Hold the phone as you would any other telephone with the
antenna pointed up and over your shoulder.
ANSI C95.1 (1992)
NCRP Report 86 (1986)
ICNIRP (1996)
Tips On Efficient Operation
For your phone to operate most efficiently:
Extend your antenna fully.
Those standards were based on comprehensive and
periodic evaluations of the relevant scientific literature. For
example, over 120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from
universities, government health agencies, and industry
reviewed the available body of research to develop the ANSI
Standard (C95.1).
Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is in
use. Contact with the antenna affects call quality and may
cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than
otherwise needed.
The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines
(and those standards).
4
Driving
Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the
potential for interference.
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless
telephones in the areas where you drive. Always obey them.
Also, if using your phone while driving, please:
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is
taking place, turn your phone OFF immediately.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the
manufacturer of your device to determine if they are adequately
shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able
to assist you in obtaining this information.
Give full attention to driving — driving safely is your first
responsibility.
Use hands-free operation, if available:
Pull off the road and park before making or answering a
call if driving conditions so require.
Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations
posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care
facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external
RF energy.
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals.
However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded
against the RF signals from your wireless phone.
Vehicles
Pacemakers
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately
shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the
manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle. You
should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has
been added to your vehicle.
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends
that a minimum separation of six (6”) inches be maintained
between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid
potential interference with the pacemaker. These
recommendations are consistent with the independent research
by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.
For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag
An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects,
including both installed or portable wireless equipment, in the
area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If
in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air
bag inflates, serious injury could result.
Persons with pacemakers:
Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches
from their pacemaker when the phone is turned ON.
Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
5
Posted Facilities
Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notices
so require.
Aircraft
FCC Regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air.
Switch OFF your phone before boarding an aircraft.
Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone
OFF when in a “blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn off
two-way radio.” Obey all signs and instructions.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially
explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions.
Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting
in bodily injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often but not
always clearly marked. They include fueling areas such as
gasoline stations; below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer
or storage facilities; vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such
as propane or butane); areas where the air contains chemicals
or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders; and any
other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your
vehicle engine.

Advanced Functions
When you travel, your PCD2000A has several advanced System Selection
functions that can put your cellular in service, or eliminate
unnecessary long distance or ROAM charges. These
functions are:
When you re traveling, you may need to change your A/B
System so you can eliminate the NO SERVICE indicator.
You may also need to select a different system whenever
you change the telephone number or select the
programmed SID. Some systems are “wireline”
(conventional telephone network), and some are
“non-wireline.” Ask your service provider for more
information about these systems.

If you regularly travel between two different cities, you
can have a different telephone number (NAM) assigned
to each location. If ROAM is displayed, and you are in
one of your NAM locations, then you need to select the
proper NAM (NAM 1 or NAM 2).

method (collect, third telephone number). Your cellular
service company can give you the information before you
make the trip. If that is not possible, simply dialing a call
will, in many cases, provide needed information.
A TO B and B TO A are used when you travel in areas
where cellular coverage is weak or split into several system
types. This allows you to avoid switching back and forth
manually, reducing the chances of missing calls. However,
you may incur double roaming charges.
Roaming
Many carriers (airtime providers) make arrangements with
carriers in other cities to allow use of mobile telephones in
areas other than your Home area. If you are traveling in an
area where cellular service is provided, and you wish to

You may hear a recording (no airtime charge) that gives
procedures for roaming calls and connects you
immediately (during business hours) to a registration
clerk. If you cannot obtain roaming services on one
carrier, try switching to the other type. It is important to
remember that the ROAM indicator does not mean the
phone is authorized to make calls; only that a system
other than the Home system is detected.
SID (System Identification)
In general, metropolitan areas are served by more that
one service provider. Under certain circumstances you
may be roaming in an area that has two A systems or two
B systems that overlap, and you could be charged two
roaming charges. To prevent this double charging,
program the System Identification Number (SID) for that
area and then activate the number when you are in that
location. (You will get the SID form the service provider in
that location.)
