By moving this key to the left, you open the Phonebook. Move the key to the right to access Caller ID information. To use this four-way key, place your thumb over the key on the station and move to the four positions to get the feel of how it moves and operates.

Using the Handset and Base Menus

To open the menu, press the MENU soft key. Highlight the option you want by pressing the four-way function key. This will move the cursor; the option currently highlighted appears in reversed out text. Select the highlighted option by pressing the OK soft key. To exit the menu and return to standby, press [ ] on the handset and [/exit] on the base.

13

Installing the Phone

Choosing the Best Location

When choosing a location for your new phone, here are some important guidelines you should consider:

The location should be close to both a phone jack and a continuous power outlet (one which is not connected to a switch).

The base and handset should be kept away from sources of electrical noise such as motors,

 

microwave ovens, and fluorescent lighting.

For better reception, place the base as high as possible.

The base should be placed in an open area for optimum range and reception.

If your home has wired alarm equipment connected to a phone line, be sure that installing

 

the system does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will

 

disable alarm equipment, contact your telephone company or a qualified installer.

 

Note: For maximum range:

Keep the antenna free of obstruction.

When the handset is not in use, place the handset in an upright position.

Do not hold the handset where you would block the signal.

Metal and reinforced concrete may affect cordless telephone performance.

Incorrect

Installing the Rechargeable Battery

Use only the Uniden BT-446 or BT-1005 rechargeable battery pack supplied with your cordless telephone. Follow the steps below to install a battery:

) Press in on the handset battery case cover (use the finger indention for a better grip) and slide the cover downward to remove.

2)Plug the battery cable into the battery jack. Be sure to match the red and black wires to the label near the jack. The cable should snap into place. Gently pull on the battery cable. If the battery connector comes lose, try connecting again until the battery snaps into place.

3)Place the battery case cover back on the handset and slide it upwards until it clicks into place.

14

Charge the Cordless Handset

The cordless handset is powered by a rechargeable battery pack. The battery recharges automatically when the handset is placed in the charger.

) Connect the AC adapter to the DC IN 9V jack and to a standard 120V AC wall outlet.

2) Set the charger on a desk or tabletop, and place the handset in the charger with the keypad facing forward.

3)Make sure that the charge light illuminates. If the light does

not illuminate, check to see that the AC adapter is plugged in and the handset makes good contact with the base charging contacts.

4) Charge the handset battery pack for at least 15-20 hours before using your new cordless telephone for the first time.

15

Connecting the Base

) Connect the handset curly cord to the left side of the phone and the base corded handset.

Note: Your phone has a slot to route the curly cord in the bottom of the base.

2)Connect the AC adapter to the DC IN 9V jack.

3)Connect the AC adapter to a continuous power supply (i.e., an outlet that is not controlled by a switch).

4)Set the base on a desk or tabletop. Place the base corded handset on the base.

16

Installing the Belt Clip

) Line up the holes on each side of the handset. To attach the belt clip, insert into the holes on each side of the handset. Press down until it clicks.

2) To remove the belt clip, pull either side of the belt clip to release the tabs from the holes.

Connecting to the Phone Line

Once the handset battery pack is fully charged, connect the long telephone line cord to the TEL LINE jack and to a telephone outlet.

Testing the connection

To test your connection, try making a call. If your call connects, the settings are fine. If your call does not connect, check the following:

) Check the AC adapter cord. Make sure it is securely connected to the DC IN connector and to a standard AC power outlet.

2)Check to make sure the battery is fully charged. (If you don’t see the “battery full” icon, check to make sure the battery is properly connected.)

3)Change dial mode (instructions on page 18).

17
