Using the Interface

Using the Four- way Function Key

Your handset has a four-way function key that allows you to move the cursor on the display and access the most commonly used features at the touch of a button. 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 handset and move to the four positions to get the feel of how it moves and operates.

Using the Handset Menus

To open the menu, press [menu/clear]. Select the option you want by pressing the four-way function key up or down. This moves the cursor; the option currently selected has a triangle beside it. Select the option by pressing

.To exit the menu and return to standby, press [ ] on the handset.

If you do not press a key within 30 seconds, the phone times out and exits the menu. When setting Day and Time, the time-out period is extended to two minutes.

Entering Text from Your Handset

You can use the number keypad on your phone to enter text by referring to the letters printed on each number key. When you press the number key in a text entry ﬁ eld, the phone displays the ﬁ rst letter printed on the number key. Press the number key twice to display the second letter and three times to display the third. Capital letters are displayed ﬁ rst, then lower case letters, then the number on the key.

If two letters in a row use the same number key, enter the ﬁ rst letter, then use the [#/>] key to move the cursor to the next position to enter the second letter. For example, to enter Movies:

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 ﬂ 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 qualiﬁ ed installer.

Wall Mounting the Base (DCT7565 Only)

This phone can be mounted on any standard wall plate.

Snap the wall mount adapter into the notches on the base top.

1. Plug the AC adapter into the DC IN 9V jack.

2. Route the AC adapter cord through the molded wiring channel as

3. shown.

Plug the AC adapter into a standard 120V AC wall outlet.

4. Plug the telephone line cord into the TEL LINE jack.

5. Plug the telephone line cord into the telephone outlet.

6. Align the mounting slots on the base with the mounting posts on

7. the wall. Then push in and down until the phone is ﬁ rmly seated.

DO NOT use an AC outlet controlled by a wall switch.

Notes: The DCT756 base is not wall mountable.

•

Use only the supplied AD-800 AC adapter with

•

DCT7565 Base. Do not use any other AC adapter.

Direct Wall Mounting (DCT7565 Only)

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 loca-

• tion 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 wire lengths. Make sure the wall material is capable of supporting the weight of the

• base and handset. Use #10 screws with a minimum length of 1-3/8 inches, with anchor-

• ing devices suitable for the wall material where the base unit will be placed.

Insert two mounting screws into the wall, using the appropriate anchor-

1. ing device, 3-15/16 inches apart. Allow about 1/8 inch between the wall and screw heads for mounting the phone.

Refer to the steps on page 14 to complete the mounting process.

Installing the Rechargeable Battery

Use only the Uniden BT-909 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 ﬁ nger indention for a better grip) and slide the cover downward to remove.

Place the battery pack in the battery compartment with the connectors on the battery and on the compartment aligned.

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

Connecting the Base and Charging the Handset

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

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

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

3. Make sure that the charge LED illuminates. If the LED does not illuminate, check to see that the AC adapter

4. 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.

Installing the Belt Clip

Line up the holes on each side of the handset. To

1. attach the belt clip, insert into the holes on each side of the handset. Press down until it clicks.

To remove the belt clip, pull either side of the belt

2. clip to release the tabs from the holes.

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 ﬁ ne. If your call does not connect check the following:

Check the AC adapter cord. Make sure it is

1. securely connected to the DC IN 9V connector and to a standard AC power outlet.

Check to make sure the battery is fully charged. (If you don’t see the

2. “battery full” icon, check to make sure the battery is properly connected).

Change “dial mode” (instructions follow).
