Setting up

Follow these simple steps to prepare your
phone for use.

Finding a 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 fluorescent 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 wired alarm equipment
connected to a phone line, be sure that
installing the system does not disable your
alarm equipment. If you have questions about
what will disable alarm equipment, contact your
telephone company or a qualified installer.

Connecting your phone

1 Connect the base power supply to the back

of the base. Plug the other end into the wall
electrical outlet.

WARNING

Use only the power supply that came with your
phone.

Using another power supply could seriously
damage your phone and invalidate your
warranty.

Do not connect the telephone line cord until
your handset is fully charged. This will prevent
the risk of the phone being answered before
the battery pack is charged. Answering the
phone before the battery pack is fully charged
may prevent them from reaching their optimum
capacity.

2 If you have purchased a model containing

multiple handsets and chargers, connect each
charger's power supply to the charger base and
plug into a wall electrical outlet.

[4]

[5]

Preparing the handsets

Installing and charging the handset battery pack

1 On each handset:
Remove the battery compartment cover.
Press down on the semi-circle indent and slide

the cover off.

Connect the supplied battery pack with the

correct polarity.

Slide the battery cover back until it clicks

securely into place.

2 To charge the battery, place the handset(s) on

the base or on a charger. The charging light in
the base illuminates. While charging, the symbol

scrolls and when the handset is fully
charged, all the bars of the battery symbol will
be filled when the phone is off the cradle.

If the charging light does not come on, reposition

the handset in the base or charger, ensuring that
the charging points contact. You must charge
each handset for 15-20 hours before use.

NOTE: Once your handset is fully charged, your

phone is designed for the base charge
LED to turn off for approximately 4
seconds during the following instances:

1) just after reaching a full charge

2) 1 minute after reaching a full charge

3) every 5 minutes after reaching a full charge

To alleviate the charge LED from blinking on the
base, you can simply remove the handset from the
charging cradle.

You may also select to leave the handset in the
cradle, which will not damage the unit. Once fully
charged, you may notice the charge LED light
will turn for 4 seconds every 5 minutes. This is
normal operation and does not mean your unit is
defective.

BATTERY LOW WARNING

If the

symbol is displayed on the handset,

CHARGE BATTERY appears and you hear the

low battery tone, you will need to recharge your
handset.

For optimum performance, be sure to return

the handset to the cradle after each call. If the
handset 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.

Battery Performance

The handset may become warm during charging,
this is normal. On a single charge your handset
will give 16 hours talk time and 7 days standby
time.

Over time, as the batteries wear out, the charge
capacity will reduce, therefore, reducing the talk/
standby time of the handset.

Eventually the battery pack will need to be
replaced.

Setting the date and time

The phone uses the 24 hour clock.

In standby:

1 Press

.

2 Press or until Time & Alarm is

displayed and press .

3 Press

or until Set Date&Time is

displayed and press .

4 Enter Day, Month, and Year using the keypad,

6 Press

to return to standby.

Connecting the telephone line cord
1 Connect the telephone line cord into the TEL

LINE jack on the back of the base.

Setting up your phone is complete.
Now you can make and receive calls.

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 identifier in the format US:
AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this number must be
provided to the telephone company.

An applicable Universal Service Order Codes (USOC)
certification for the jacks used in this equipment is
provided (i.e., RJ11 C) 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 five (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
identifier 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 file 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 modifications 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 specified 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 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.

This device complies with part 1 5 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.

The antenna(s) used for the base-unit must be installed
to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from
all persons and must not be collocated or operated in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

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 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.
