Battery Alarm
A Battery Warning Tone sounds when the battery charge is low. The battery

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.

Advanced Functions
When you travel, your PCD2000 has several advanced functions that can put
your cellular phone in service, or eliminate unnecessary long distance or
ROAM charges. These functions are:
2 NAM (Number Assignment Module) Selections.
System Selection
SID (System Identification) Selection
SID Inhibit
See your Uniden Dealer for more explanation of, and assistance with these
functions.
NAM Selection
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 through NAM 2).
System Selection
When you are 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.
The various Modes are:
A-ONLY B-ONLY
A TO B B TO A
HOME ONLY SID ONLY
Before changing your System, check and record the present System setting.
If you see NOSVC on the display for more than a few seconds, the phone is in
an area that will not support operation in the selected Mode. You must
then choose another.
Modes A ONLY and B ONLY are used when you travel in areas other than your
home area and the cellular coverage is strong wherever you go. If the
cellular phone is out of the service provider's cellular coverage, NOSVC
is displayed. If you are in a System area opposite to your Home System,
ROAM is displayed.
HOME is used within your Home Area. It is the System you are unauthorized
on. When you are out of your Home Area, NOSVC is displayed.
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.
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 use your cellular phone, check with your Cellular Service
Company before leaving your Home area. They will give you information
about registering and operating your cellular phone in a particular area.
In some cities, depending upon your Cellular Service Company, no
registration will be required. You may dial your phone as if you were
traveling in your Home area. However, if you call a number local to the
area in which you are roaming, first dial the area code of the local number
(no preceding 1), then the rest of the phone number. Keep in mind that
calls to your Home area may incur long distance charges.
Other areas will require advance registration with a major credit card, or
may require that all long distance calls be dialed using a telephone credit
card or other charge 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.
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 than 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 in the System
Identification number (SID) for that area, and then activate the number
when you are in that location. (You will get the SID from the service
provider in that location.)
