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
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.
