Setting up the Phone
Do the following steps:
A. Choose the best location C. Connect the base unit B. Install the battery pack
A. Choose the best location
Before choosing a location for your new phone, read the INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS included in the PRECAUTIONS AND IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS. Here are some important guidelines you should consider:
The location should be close to both a phone jack and a continuous power outlet
which is not switchable.
Keep the base and handset away from sources of electrical noise such as motors,
microwave ovens, and fluorescent lighting.
Be sure there is sufficient space to raise the base antenna to a vertical position.
The base can be placed on a desk, tabletop, or mounted on a standard wall plate.
Avoid excessive moisture, extremely low temperatures, dust, mechanical vibration, or shock
Avoid heat sources, such as radiators, air ducts, and sunlight
Avoid television sets and other electronic equipment
Avoid noise sources such as a window by a street with heavy traffic
Avoid microwave ovens
Avoid personal computers
Avoid other cordless telephones
Choose a central location
B. Install the battery pack
Charge the battery pack for at least 15-20 hours before plugging the telephone jack and start using your phone.
1)Press in on the battery cover release and slide the cover down until it comes off.
2)Connect the battery pack connector observing correct polarity (black and red wires) to the jack inside the battery compartment.
Do not exert any force on this connection. It could cause damage to the battery or handset. Once you are certain that you have made a good connection, then insert the battery pack into the battery compartment. Do not pinch the wires.
3)Securely close the battery compartment cover by sliding it up until it snaps into place.
4)Place the handset on the base.
Use only the Uniden battery (BT-905) supplied with your phone. Replacement
batteries are also available through the Uniden Parts Department (see page 8).

Battery use time (per charge)
From fully charged (15-20 hours charge time)
Seven hours continuous use.
Fourteen days when the handset is in the standby mode.
Low battery alert
When the battery pack is very low and needs to be charged, the phone is programmed to eliminate functions in order to save power. If the phone is not in use, “
Low Battery
appears on the LCD and none of the keys will operate.
If the phone is in use, “
Low Battery” flashes and the
handset beeps. Complete your conversation as quickly as possible and return the handset to the base unit for charging.
Cleaning the battery charging contacts
To maintain a good charge, it is important to clean the battery contacts on the handset and base unit with a dry cloth or a pencil eraser about once a month. Do not use any liquids or solvents.
The last number dialed in the redial memory and the numbers stored in the memory locations are retained for
up to 30 minutes while you replace the battery pack.
Even when the battery pack is not being used, it will gradually discharge over a long period of time. For optimum performance, be sure to return the handset to the base unit after each telephone call for charging the battery.
Place the power cord so that it does not create a trip hazard or where it could become chafed and create a fire or electrical hazard.
[ 12 ] GETTING STARTED
C. Connect the base unit
1)Connect the AC adapter to the DC IN 9V jack and a standard 120V AC wall outlet.

3)Raise the antenna to a vertical position.

Use only the supplied AD-420 AC adapter. Do
not use any other AC adapter.
Connect the AC adapter to a continuous power
supply.
Place the base unit close to the AC outlet so
that you can unplug the AC adapter easily.
The handset can be placed face up or face down in the base for charging.
• After installing the battery pack in the handset, charge your handset at least
15-20 hours before plugging into the phone line. Once the handset battery pack is fully charged, connect the telephone line cord to the base and telephone wall outlet.

Direct wall mounting
If you don't have a standard wall plate, you can mount your phone directly to the wall. Before doing this, consider the following:
Avoid electrical cables, pipes, or other items behind the mounting location that
could cause a hazard when inserting screws into the wall.
Try to mount your phone within 5 feet of a working phone jack to avoid
excessive cord lengths.
Make sure the wall material is capable of supporting the weight of the base
and handset.
Use #10 screws (minimum length of 1-3/8 inches) with anchoring devices
suitable for the wall material where the base unit will be placed.
1)Insert two mounting screws into the wall, (with their appropriate anchoring device), 3-15/16 inches apart. Allow about 1/8 of an inch between the wall and screw heads for mounting the phone.
2)Refer to steps 1 through 7 on page 13 to mount the telephone.
