The Uniden DECT 3236 is a cordless telephone system designed for home and office use, offering a range of features for communication and convenience. The system includes a base unit with an answering system and one or more cordless handsets.
The DECT 3236 functions as a digital enhanced cordless telecommunications (DECT) phone system. It allows users to make and receive calls, manage contacts, and utilize an integrated answering machine. A key feature is its MobileLink Bluetooth connectivity, enabling the system to pair with mobile phones.

The answering system records incoming messages, which can be played back from both the base unit and the handsets. It also includes features like Caller ID, Call Waiting, and a phonebook for storing contacts.
Installation and Setup: The phone system is straightforward to install. This involves unpacking all components, connecting the battery to the handset, plugging the base unit's AC adaptor into a power outlet, and connecting the telephone cord to the TEL LINE jack on the base. The handset needs to be placed in the base to charge. The system supports up to 5 additional handsets (DECT 3236+1 to DECT 3236+5).

Answering System: The integrated answering system records messages when calls are not answered. Users can turn the answering system on or off, set the ring time before the answering system picks up, and record a personal greeting.
