Installing the Phone

Choosing the Best Location

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

Avoid heat sources, such as radiators, air ducts, and sunlight

Avoid television sets and other electronic equipment

Choose a central location

• 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 uorescent lighting.

• The base can be placed on a desk, tabletop, or mounted on a standard wall plate. 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 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 qualied installer.

Avoid noise sources such as a window by

a street with heavy trafc

Avoid microwave ovens Avoid excessive moisture,

extremely low temperatures, dust, mechanical vibration, or shock

Avoid personal computers

Avoid other cordless telephones

Connecting the Base and Corded Handset

1) Connect the corded handset curl cord to the left side of the phone

and to the corded handset.

2) Route the curl cord inside the molded wiring channel as shown.

3) Connect the AC adapter to the DC IN 9V

120V AC wall outlet.

CAUTION: To avoid risk of re and shock, only use the

Uniden AD-314 AC adapter.

4) Route the AC adapter cord inside the molded wiring channel as

shown.

5) Connect the AC adapter to a continuous power supply (i.e., an

outlet that is not controlled by a switch).

6) Place the base unit close to the AC outlet to avoid long extension

cords.

7) Connect the telephone line cord to the TEL LINE

Testing the Connection

Ti m e Se c ur i t y C od e Ri n g T i me

There’s an easy way to test your connection: try making a call from your base. If your call connects, your phone’s

settings are ne. If your call does not connect:

1) Check the AC adapter cord. Make sure it is securely connected to the DC IN 9V

connector and to a standard AC

power outlet.

2) Change Dial Mode (Instructions below).

Changing the Dial Mode

Your phone can communicate with the telephone network in two different ways: tone dialing or pulse dialing. These days, most phone networks use a method called tone dialing, so your phone comes programmed for tone dialing. If your phone company uses pulse dialing, you will need to change your phone’s dial mode. If you cannot connect to the telephone network, please follow the steps below to modify your phone’s settings:

1) Press

phone jack.

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 ve 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 10 on page 1

2 to mount the telephone.

Installing the Rechargeable Battery Pack for Cordless Handset

The handset is powered by a rechargeable battery pack. Once installed, the battery charges automatically when the cordless handset is placed in the charger.

To install the rechargeable battery pack:

1) Press down on the cordless handset battery case cover (use the nger 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 t 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.

4) Place the battery case cover back on the cordless handset and slide it upwards

until it clicks into place.

Note: Use only the Uniden (BT-905) rechargeable battery pack supplied with your phone.

Connecting the Cordless Handset and Charger

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

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

CAUTION: Use only the Uniden AD-310 or AD-1010 AC adapter.

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

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

4) Charge the handset battery pack for at least 15-20 hours

before using your new cordless handset for the rst time.

5) To test your connection, try making a call from the cordless handset. If your call does not connect, check to make

sure the battery is fully charged. If you see LOW BATTERY on the cordless handset display, check to make sure the battery is properly connected. To check the battery, slide the battery compartment door open and check the battery cables to ensure a tight and proper connection. If your handset still does not work, please contact Uniden’s Customer Service department. Please see back cover for contact information.

The FCC Wants You To Know

This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the ACTA. On the bottom of this equipment is a label that contains,

among other information, a product identier in the format US:

AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this number must be provided to the telephone company. An applicable Universal Service Order Codes (USOC)

certication for the jacks used in this equipment is provided

(i.e., RJ11C) in the packaging with each piece of approved terminal equipment. A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA. A compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this product. It is designed to be connected to a compatible modular jack that is also compliant. See installation instructions for details. The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most but not all areas, the sum of RENs

should not exceed ve (5.0). To be certain of the number of

devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the telephone provider. For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is part of

the product identier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX.

The digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3). For earlier products, the REN is separately shown on the label.

If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. But if advance notice isn’t practical, the telephone company will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of

your right to le a complaint with the FCC if you believe it is

necessary. The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations or procedures that could affect the operation of the equipment. If this happens the telephone company will provide advance notice in order for you to make

necessary modications to maintain uninterrupted service.

Please follow instructions for repairing, if any (e.g. battery replacement section); otherwise do not substitute or repair

any parts of the device except as specied in this manual.

Connection to party line service is subject to state tariffs. Contact the state public utility commission, public service commission or corporation commission for information. This equipment is hearing aid compatible. Should you experience trouble with this equipment, please contact Uniden customer service at 800-297-1023. If the equipment is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may request that you disconnect the equipment until the problem is resolved. NOTICE: According to telephone company reports, AC electrical surges, typically resulting from lightning strikes, are very destructive to telephone equipment connected to AC power sources. To minimize damage from these types of surges, a surge arrestor is recommended.

Changes or modications 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.

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Privacy of communications may not be ensured when using this phone.

To insure the safety of users, the FCC has established criteria for the amount of radio frequency energy various products may produce depending on their intended usage. This product has been tested and found to comply with the FCC’s exposure criteria. For body worn operation, the FCC RF exposure guidelines were also met when used with the Uniden accessories supplied or designed for this product. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines and should be avoided.

Radio Interference

Radio interference may occasionally cause buzzing and humming in your cordless handset, or caused by external

sources such as TV, refrigerator, vacuum cleaner, uorescent

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 the antenna on the unit is fully extended when needed. 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.

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.
