Setting up the Phone

Do the following steps:

A. Choose the best location C. Connect the base unit and charging cradle B. Install the rechargeable battery packs into both handsets

A. Choose the best location

Before choosing a location for your new phone, read the INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS included in the PRECAUTIONS. 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 each 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

If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, be sure that installing the system does not disable your alarm equipment.

If you have questions about what will disable your alarm equipment, contact your telephone company or a qualified installer.

GETTING STARTED

GETTING STARTED [ 9 ]www.uniden.com

B. Install the rechargeable battery packs into both handsets

Both handsets are powered by rechargeable battery packs. The battery recharges automatically when the handset is placed in the base unit or charging cradle.

Charge the handset battery packs for at least 15-20 hours before using your new cordless telephone for the first time!

To maximize the charge capacity of your battery pack, DO NOT plug the telephone cord into the base unit and wall jack until the battery is fully charged.

1) Press down 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 pack connector (red & black wires) into the small jack inside the battery compartment. (The connector notches fit into the grooves of the jack only one-way.) Match the wire colors to the polarity label in the battery compartment, connect the battery and listen for a click to insure connection.

3) Make sure you have a good connection by slightly pulling on the battery wires. If the connection is secure, the battery jack will remain in place.

• Use only the

Uniden (BT-905) rechargeable battery pack supplied with your cordless telephone.

• Replacement batteries are also available through the Uniden Parts Department at (800) 554-3988, Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. or on line at

www.uniden.com

• Place the second handset in the charger with the keypad facing forward for 15-20 hours before use.

GETTING STARTED[ 10 ] www.uniden.com

4) Place the battery case cover back on the handset by sliding it upwards until it clicks into place.

5) Place one handset in the base unit and one handset in the charging cradle for 15-20 hours without interruption. The base or charging cradle unit’s LED light (labeled

charge/in use or

charge) illuminates once the handset is placed in the base or

charging cradle. The LED light will illuminate whether the battery pack is connected or not.

If the base or charging cradle (

charge/in use or charge) LED

light does not illuminate:

• Check to see if the AC adapter is plugged into each charging

cradle and the electrical wall outlet properly. (Use only the supplied AC adapter. Do not use any other AC adapter.)

• Check to see if each handset is sitting correctly in each

charging cradle and making good contact with each charging contacts.

GETTING STARTED

GETTING STARTED [ 11 ]www.uniden.com

• 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 either charging cradle after a telephone call.

•

Talk Mode The handset is off either charging cradle and the talk/flash key has been pressed enabling a dial tone.

•

Standby Mode The handset is not in use, off either charging cradle, and the talk/flash key has not been pressed. A dial tone is not present.

Cleaning the battery charging contacts

To maintain a good charge, it is important to clean the charging contacts on the handsets, base unit and charging cradle once a month. Using water only, dampen a cloth to clean the charging contacts. Then make sure to go back over the charging contacts with a dry cloth before returning the handset to the base to charge. Caution: Do not use paint thinner, benzene, alcohol, or other chemical products. Doing so may discolor the surface of the telephone and damage the finish.

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.

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 either charging cradle for charging.

Before Using, Register Second Handset to the Base Unit

When the dual handsets are removed from the packaging, the handset that is placed in the base unit first (to charge battery for 15-20 hours), will automatically be registered to the base unit. (It does not matter which handset you choose to place in the base unit first.)

You will also need to register the second handset by placing it in the base cradle. The second handset WILL NOT operate properly until the registration has been completed. Once the handset is registered, it is ready for use.

Follow these simple steps to register:

1) First, install the battery packs in both handsets. Place either handset in the base, then place the second handset in the charging cradle. Charge both handsets

for 15-

20 hours

2) After fully charging both handsets, remove the handset in the charging cradle, and place it in the base. The

charge/in use LED light on the base will begin to flash,

indicating that the registration is taking place between the second handset and the base.

3) Wait for at least 5 seconds before removing the handset from the base.

Congratulations, the registration has been completed, and your dual handset cordless phone is ready for use!

1. Use only the Uniden battery pack specified in the owner’s manual.

2. Do not dispose of the battery pack in a fire. The cell may explode. Check the nickel-cadmium battery disposal package insert for disposal instructions.

3. Do not open or mutilate the battery pack. Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.

4. Exercise care in handling the battery in order not to short the battery with conducting materials such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery or conductor may overheat and cause burns.

5. Charge the battery pack provided with or identified for use with this product only in accordance with the instructions and limitations specified in the owner’s manual provided for this product.

6. Observe proper polarity orientation between the battery pack and battery charger.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

Important Electrical Considerations

Unplug all electrical appliances when you know an electrical storm is approaching. Lightning can pass through your household wiring and damage any device connected to it. This phone is no exception.

The FCC Wants You To Know

Changes or modifications to this product not expressly approved by Uniden, or operation of this product in any way other than as detailed by the owner’s manual, could void your authority to operate this product. Your telephone compiles with Part 68 of FCC Rules. You must, upon request, provide the FCC registration number and the REN to your telephone company. Both numbers are on the base unit.

NOTE: You must not connect your phone to:

• coin-operated systems

• most electronic key telephone systems

Range

Your new phone is designed to achieve the maximum possible range by transmitting and receiving according to the highest specifications set forth by the FCC. We have rated this phone to operate at a maximum distance with the qualification that the range depends upon the environment in which the telephone is used. Many factors limit range, and it would be impossible to include all the variables in our rating. The Maximum Range rating of this phone is meant to be used as a means of comparison against other range claims.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

Telephone Line Problems

The FCC has granted the telephone company the right to disconnect service in the event that your phone causes problems on the telephone line. Also, the telephone company may make changes in facilities and services which may affect the operation of your unit. However, your telephone company must give adequate notice in writing prior to such actions to allow you time for making necessary arrangements to continue uninterrupted service. If you are having trouble with your telephone service, you must first disconnect your phone to determine if it is the cause of your problem. If you determine that it is the cause, you must leave it disconnected until the trouble has been corrected.

Radio Interference

Radio interference may occasionally cause buzzing and humming in your cordless handset, or clicking noises in the base. This interference is caused by external sources such as TV, refrigerator, vacuum cleaner, fluorescent lighting, or electrical storm. Your unit is NOT DEFECTIVE. If these noises continue and are too distracting, please check around your home to see what appliances may be causing the problem. In addition, we recommend that the base not be plugged into a circuit that also powers a major appliance because of the potential for interference. Be certain that antenna on the unit is fully extended. In the unlikely event that you consistently hear other voices or distracting transmissions on your phone, you may be receiving radio signals from another cordless telephone or other source of interference. If you cannot eliminate this type of interference, you need to change to a different channel. Finally, it should be noted that some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause interference to nearby TVs and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference, the base of the cordless telephone should not be placed near or on top of a TV or VCR. If interference is experienced, moving the cordless telephone farther away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference.

More Than One Cordless Telephone

If you want to use more than one cordless telephone in your home, they must operate on different channels. Press the channel key to select a channel that provides the clearest communication.

Cordless Telephone Privacy

Cordless telephones are radio devices. Communications between the handset and base of your cordless telephone are accomplished by means of radio waves which are broadcast over the open airways. Because of the inherent physical properties of radio waves, your communications can be received by radio receiving devices other than your own cordless telephone unit. Consequently, any communications using your cordless telephone may not be private.

Installation Considerations

Selecting a Location

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

• The location should be close to both a phone jack and continuous power outlet. (A continuous power outlet is an AC outlet which does not have a switch to interrupt its power.)

• Keep the base and handset away from sources of electrical noise such as motors or fluorescent lighting.

• Be sure there is sufficient space to fully extend the base antenna.

• The base can be placed on a desk or tabletop or mounted on a

standard telephone wall plate.

• You should charge your new phone for 15-20 hours before completing the installation or using the handset.

Telephone Line Outlets

There are two types of phone outlets:

Modular Jack

Most phone equipment available now uses modular jacks. Phone cords are fitted with a molded plastic connector which plugs into this type of jack. If you do not have modular phone jacks, contact your local telephone company for information about their installation.

Hardwired Jack

Some equipment is wired directly to a phone jack, and these types of installations require a modular jack converter. This type of installation is not difficult; however, you should contact your Uniden telephone dealer or a telephone supply store for advice about the proper adapter or converter for your particular situation.

Connecting the Telephone Cords

Consider these safety guidelines before connecting the telephone cords:

Caution!

• Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.

• Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected.

• Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.

Applying Power to the Base

This phone requires an AC outlet, without a switch to interrupt power, and the included AC adapter. To relieve strain on the DC plug when the phone is placed on a desk or table, wrap the power cord around the strain relief notch on the back of the base.

NOTE: Place the power cord so that it does not create a trip

hazard, or where it could become chafed and create a fire or other electrical hazards.
