END to hang up.

Installing the Phone

Changing the dial mode

Your phone can communicate with the telephone network in two different ways: tone dialing or pulse dialing. These days, most base 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 don’t get a dial tone or can’t connect to the telephone network, please follow the steps below to modify your phone’s settings:

Press

If you ever need to change the dial mode back to tone dialing, follow the same procedure, but select

Battery Information

Battery life

With average use, your handset battery provides more than ten hours of talk time and approximately seven days of standby time. You can achieve optimum battery life and performance by returning the handset to the base or charging cradle after each use. When your handset is left off of the cradle, the battery will gradually discharge even if the handset is not being used. The actual talk time duration will be reduced in proportion to the amount of time the handset is off of the cradle.

Noise or Static on the Line

The most common cause of noise or static on a cordless phone is interference: other wireless or electronic devices can radiate energy that disturbs the radio signal between the base and the handset (much like overhead power lines can cause static on your car radio). Some common household sources of interference are

electrical appliances, especially microwave ovens

• computer equipment, especially wireless LAN equipment and DSL modems

• radio-based wireless devices, such as room monitors, wireless controllers, or wireless headphones or speakers

•

large orescent light xtures (particularly ones that give off a “buzzing” noise)

• other services that use your phone line, like alarm systems, intercom systems, or broadband Internet service

•

For static on only one handset or in a specic location: For static on more than one handset:

•

Check nearby for one of the common interference sources. Try moving the handset away from a suspected

• source, or try moving the suspected source so it’s not between the handset and the base.

•

Check near the base for the source of interference.

•

Try moving the base away from a suspected source, or try turning off the source if possible. If you have any services that might use your phone

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.

Precautions!

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.

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.

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 qualied installer.

Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

--Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

--Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

--Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

--Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

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 powers a major appliance because of the potential for interference. 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.

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.
