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 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 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 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: For maximum range: Keep the antenna free of obstruction. When the handset is not in use, place the handset in an upright position. Do not hold the handset where you would block the signal. Metal and reinforced concrete may affect cordless telephone performance.

Changing the Dial Mode (Australian Model Only)
Your phone can communicate with the telephone network in two different ways: tone dial­ing or pulse dialing. These days, most phone 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 cannot connect to the tele­phone network, please follow the steps below to modify your phone’s settings:
Press the MENU soft key. Select the GLOBAL SETUP menu, and then the DIAL MODE submenu. Press [ ] on the four-way function key to select PULSE. (The initial setting is Tone). Press the OK soft key. You will hear a conrmation tone.
If you ever need to change the dial mode back to Tone, follow the same procedure, but select TONE in step 2.

Using Caller ID, Call Waiting and Redial Lists
If you subscribe to Caller ID from your phone company, your phone will show you the caller’s phone number and name (if available) whenever a call comes in. If you subscribe to both Call Waiting and Caller ID, the phone also shows you the name and the number of any call that comes in while you are on the line.
Note:
If you answer a call before the Caller ID message is received (for example, before the second ring), the Caller ID message may not appear.

While a pair of handsets is in Room Monitoring mode, only the Handsets in monitoring mode can receive incoming calls. To resume normal telephone operation, you should terminate the monitoring session by pressing the END soft key on either handset.

Tone Dialing Switch Over
If your telephone company requires pulse dialing, you can switch to tone dialing after the call connects. This feature is useful when you need tone dialing to use automated menu systems, such as telephone bank tellers, telephone
prescription rells, customer support menus, etc. If your phone is set to pulse dialing, make your call normally. Once
your call connects, press [
tone
/<] on the handset. Any digits you enter from then on will be sent as tone dialing. When
this call ends, the phone automatically returns to pulse dialing.
Installing the Optional Headset
Your phone may be used with an optional headset. To use this feature, insert the head­set plug into the headset jack. Your phone is ready for hands-free conversations. Headsets may be purchased by calling the Uniden Parts Department. See back cover page for contact information.

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 listed on the back cover page.
Cleaning the Battery Contacts
To maintain a good charge, clean the charging contacts on the handset once a 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 thoroughly before returning the handset to the charging cradle.
Caution: Do not use paint thinner, alcohol, or other chemical products. Do-
ing so may discolor the surface of the telephone and damage the nish.
Warning
To avoid the risk of personal injury or property damage from re or electrical shock, use only Uniden AAD-041S(M)
or AAD-041S (9V 350mA) and AAD-600S(M) or AAD-600S AC adapters and Uniden BT-446 or BT-750 battery pack with your phone.
Caution:
Use only the specied Uniden battery pack BT-446 or BT-750.
Do not remove the batteries from the handset to charge them.
Never throw the battery into a re, disassemble, or heat them.

Low Battery Alert
When the battery pack is very low, the phone is programmed to eliminate functions in order to save power. 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.
The battery pack needs to be charged when the empty battery icon appears.
Talk and Standby Times
With average use, your handset battery provides approximately 5 hours of talk time and approximately 7 days of standby time. When your handsets are not being used and are left off of their charging cradles, the battery will grad­ually discharge. You can achieve optimum battery life and performance by returning the handset to the charging cradle after each use. If the handset is left off of the charging cradle, the actual talk time duration will be reduced re­spective to the amount of time the handset is off of the charging cradle.

Troubleshooting
Resetting the Handset
You may need to reset your handset in the following instances:
You lose a handset and purchase a new one. When you try and register to your existing base you get regis­tration failure. You are unable to register any handsets to the base. You had a base which needed to be exchanged by the manufacturer. When you register your existing hand­sets to the base, the handsets say #3 and #4, but you only have 2 handsets. When you are instructed to by the one of the manufacturer’s call center representatives.
To reset:
Press and hold [ ] and [#/>] for more than 5 seconds.
You will hear a conrmation tone. The handset will clear its registration information from the base, and then
delete its own base information.
PLACE HANDSET ON MAIN BASE TO REGISTER. To re-register the handset to the base (see page 23). If the handset cannot contact the base, it will display OUT OF RANGE. Make sure the handset is in range of the
base and the base is connected to power. Note: It is also possible to reset the handset back to its original factory settings. All changes including Caller ID infor-
mation will be erased. For more information on resetting the handset back to factory settings and when you need to do this, see www.uniden.com.au (for Australian model) or www.uniden.co.nz (for New Zealand model).
51
Changing the Digital Security Code
The digital security code is an identication code used to connect the handset and the base. Your unit ships from the
manufacturer with a preset security code. Resetting this code is not normally necessary. In the rare situation that you suspect another cordless telephone is using the same security code or if you are instructed to change this code by a manufacturer’s Call Center Representative, you can change the code by:
Perform “Resetting the Handset” for all of your handsets. Re-register each handset by following the steps on page 23.
Traveling Out of Range
During a call, if you move your handset too far away from your base, noise may increase. If you pass the range limits of the base, you will hear a beep and see OUT OF RANGE on the display, and then the handset returns to standby.
