SAFETY INFORMATION

IMPORTANT ELECTRICAL CONSIDERATIONS

Unplug all electrical appliances when you know an electrical storm is approach­ing. Lightning can pass through your household wiring and damage any device connected to it. This phone is no exception.
Please do not attempt to unplug any appliance during an electrical storm.
* Changes or modifications to this product not expressly approved by Uniden, or operation of this product in any way other than as detailed by this Operating Guide, could void your authority to operate this product.

Range

Your new phone is designed to achieve the maximum possible range by transmit­ting and receiving according to the highest specifications. We have rated this phone to operate at a maximum distance with the qualification that the range depends upon the environment in which the telephone is used. Many factors limit range and it would be impossible to include all the variables in our rating. The Maximum Range rating of this phone is meant to be used as a means of comparison against other range claims.

Telephone Line Problems

If you are having trouble with your telephone service, you must first disconnect your phone to determine if it is the cause of your problem. If you determine that
SAFETY INFORMATION
it is the cause, you must leave it disconnected until the trouble has been correct­ed.

Radio Interference

Radio interference may occasionally cause buzzing and humming in your cord­less Handset, or clicking noises in the Base Unit. 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
8
Page 9
SAFETY INFORMATION
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, press the channel key to select a channel that provides the clearest communication.
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.

More Than One Cordless Telephone

If you want to use more than one cordless telephone in your home, they must operate on different channels. Press the channel key to select a channel that provides the clearest communication.
SAFETY INFORMATION

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.
However the DX8200 uses Voice Scramble Security. This unique feature scrambles your transmissions for more secure and private conversations.
NOTE: This phone will operate ONLY when properly connected to an uninterrupted
230/240 V AC power point.

INSTALLATION

SELECTING A LOCATION

Before choosing a location for your new phone, there are some important guide­lines you should consider:
The location should be close to both a phone jack and continuous
power outlet. (Make sure that the AC outlet is switched on for continuous power supply).
Keep the Base Unit and Handset away from sources of electrical noise
such as motors or fluorescent lighting.
Be sure there is sufficient space to fully extend the Base Unit antenna.
The Base Unit can be placed on a desk or tabletop or wall mounted.
If you decide to mount your phone on the wall, make sure to change
the Handset Retainer so the tab which holds the Handset faced up (see page 25 for more information).
You should charge your new phone for 15-20 hours before completing
the installation or using the Handset.

TELEPHONE LINE OUTLETS

Most phone equipment available now use modular jacks. Phone cords are fitted with a molded plastic connector which plugs into this type of jack. If you do not have modular phone jacks, contact your local telephone company for information about their installation.
INSTALLATION

CONNECTING THE TELEPHONE CORDS

Consider these safety guidelines before connecting the telephone cords.
CAUTION:
Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
• Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected.
• Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.

INSTALLATION

APPLYING POWER TO THE BASE UNIT

The DX8200 phone requires an uninterrupted AC outlet, and the included AC adapter. To relieve strain on the DC plug when the phone is placed on a desk or table, wrap the power cord around the convenient notch on the bottom.
NOTE: Place the power cord so that it does not create a trip hazard or where it could
become chafed and create a fire or other electrical hazards.

BATTERY MEMORY EFFECT

Rechargeable batteries can develop a “memory” (reduced charge capacity) caused by repeated charge and discharge cycles. The battery life will seem to be shorter everytime you use the unit. To avoid Memory Effect, at least once a month operate the unit until the “topping off” the charge after using the phone for a short period of time. Also, do not charge the Rechargeable Battery for extended period of time.
