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 power outlet that is not connected to a wall switch.

•

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

ens, and uorescent 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 specially wired alarm equipment connected to a phone line, be sure that installing the sys tem does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment,

contact your telephone company or a qualied installer.

Page 13

Installing the Rechargeable Battery

Use only the Uniden BT-1004 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

nger indention for a better grip) and slide the cover

downward to remove. Place the battery pack in the battery compartment with

2. the connectors on the battery and on the compartment aligned.

Page 14

Connecting the Base and Charging the Handset

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

Connect the AC adapter to a wall outlet that is not controlled by a switch.

Place the handset in the base with the LCD screen facing forward.

Make sure that the charge LED illuminates. If the LED does not illuminate, check to see that the AC adapter is plugged in and the handset makes good contact with the base charging contacts.

Charge your handset at least 15-20 hours before plugging into the phone line.

Note: Use only the supplied AD-800 AC adapter with your phone. Do not use any other AC adapter.

Page 15

Connecting to the Phone Line

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

Testing the Connection

To test your connection try making a call. If your

call connects, the settings are ne. If your call

does not connect check the following:

number into your phone, you can simply press service, your voice mail provider provides you with the access number and the required voice mail signaling tone.

Setting the Voice Mail Signaling Tone

Your telephone service provider should provide you with the specics of your voice mail service upon your enrollment. If you are having trouble with your message waiting indicator on your phone not illuminating when you have

waiting messages, you will need to contact your service provider and inquire as to which type of message notication

signal--either Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) or Stutter Dial Tone (SDT)--their service uses. If your voice mail service uses an FSK message signal to alert you of a new voice mail message, you must turn off

Maintenance

Battery Replacement and Handling

With average use, your phone’s battery should last approximately one year. To order replacement batteries, please contact Uniden’s Parts Department. The contact information is on the back cover pag

Battery Contact Maintenance

To maintain a good charge, clean the charging contacts on the handset once each month. Dampen a cloth with plain water. Gently rub the damp cloth over the charging contacts until all visible dirt is removed. Dry the contacts thorough ly before returning the handset to the charging cradle.

Caution: Do not use paint thinner, benzene, alcohol, or any other chemical products. Doing so may discolor the surface of the telephone and damage the

nish.

Page 42

Warning

To avoid the risk of personal injury or property damage from re or electrical shock, use only Uniden AD-800 and AD-0005 AC adapters and Uniden BT-1004 battery pack with your phone.

Caution:

•

Do not remove the batteries from the handset to charge them.

Never throw the battery into a re, disassemble, or heat them.

• Do not remove or damage the battery casing.

• A replacement Uniden adapter or battery may be purchased by calling Uniden's Parts department (see the

• back cover page).

Low Battery Alert

When the battery pack is very low, the phone is programmed to eliminate functions in order to save power.

The battery pack needs to be charged when the empty battery icon appears. When LOW BATTERY appears in the display and the phone is in standby, none

of the keys will operate. If you are on a call, complete your conversation as quickly as possible, and return the handset to the charging cradle.

Talk Time, Standby Time, and Storing the Handset on the Base

With average use, your battery provides approximately 7 hours of talk time and approximately 10 days of standby time. However, even when the battery pack is not being used, it gradually discharges over a long period of time. Therefore, you can achieve optimum performance if you return the handset to the cradle after each call. If the hand set is left off of the base, the actual talk time duration will be reduced respective to the amount of time the handset is off the cradle.

The FCC Wants You To Know

This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the require ments 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 pack aging 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 require ments 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 instruc tions for details.

The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be con nected 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 de termined by the total RENs, contact the telephone provider. For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is part of the prod uct 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 ser vice 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 equip ment. 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 ex cept as specied in this manual. Connection to party line service is subject to state tariffs. Contact the state public utility commission, public ser vice commission or corporation commission for information. This equip ment is hearing aid compatible.

Should you experience trouble with this equipment, please contact Un iden 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 de pending on their intended usage. This product has been tested and found to comply with the FCC’s exposure criteria. For body worn opera

tion, 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 guide lines and should be avoided.

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,

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 pow ers a major appliance because of the potential for interference. Be cer tain that the antenna on the unit is fully extended when needed. In the unlikely event that you consistently hear other voices or distracting trans missions on your phone, you may be receiving radio signals from anoth er cordless telephone or other source of interference. If you cannot elimi nate this type of interference, you need to change to a different channel.

Finally, it should be noted that some cordless telephones operate at fre quencies that may cause interference to nearby TVs and VCRs. To mini mize 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. Be cause of the inherent physical properties of radio waves, your communi cations 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.
