Welcome

Thank you for purchasing a Uniden Multi-Handset phone. This unit is different from conventional cordless telephones. When the base unit is connected to AC power and a telephone line, it can support up to 4 handsets. Using extra handsets, you can establish a 3-way conference call (2 handsets and an outside line), while two other handsets are making an intercom call. You can now place a fully featured cordless handset anywhere in your home or office where AC power is available to connect the handset chargers.

Note: Illustrations in this manual are used for explanation purposes. Some illustrations in this manual may differ from the actual unit.

Caution: The earcap of this telephone may attract and retain small metallic objects.

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 controlled by a wall switch.

• The base and handset should be kept away from sources of electrical noise such as motors, microwave ovens, and fluorescent lighting.

• Don't place the base in direct sunlight or subject it to high temperatures. The battery may not charge properly.

• 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 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.

[13]

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.

1. Press in on the handset battery case cover (use the finger indention for a better grip) and slide the cover downward to remove.

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

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

[14]

Connecting the Base and Charging the Handset

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

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

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

4. 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.

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

Note: Use only the supplied AAD-041S adapter with your phone. Do not use any other AC adapter.

[15]

Installing the Belt Clip

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

2. To remove the belt clip , pull either side of the belt clip to release the tabs from the holes.

[16]

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.

High Speed Internet

If your phone line also has High Speed Internet please ensure you are using an approved line filter before connecting the telephone cord.
