electronic equipment

Choose a central location

• 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 each handset should be kept away from sources of electrical noise such as motors, microwave

ovens, and uorescent lighting.

• The cradle can be placed on a desk, tabletop, or mounted on a standard wall plate. 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 the telephone line, be sure that installing the system does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable your alarm

equipment, contact your telephone company or a qualied installer.

Installing the Rechargeable Battery Packs into the Handsets

Each handset is powered by a rechargeable battery pack. Once installed, the battery charges automatically when the handset is placed in the base or charging cradle.

To install the rechargeable battery pack:

1) Press down on the handset battery case cover (use the nger indention for a better

grip) and slide the cover downward to remove.

2) Plug the battery pack connector (red & black wires) into the small jack inside the

battery compartment. (The connector notches t into the grooves of the jack only

one-way.) Match the wire colors to the polarity label in the battery compartment, connect the battery, and listen for a click to insure connection.

3) Make sure you have a good connection by slightly pulling on the battery wires. If

the connection is secure, the battery jack will remain in place.

4) Place the battery case cover back in the handset by sliding it upwards until it clicks

into place.

Note: Use only the Uniden (BT-1006) rechargeable battery pack supplied with your phone.

Installing the Base Unit and Charging Cradle

1) Connect each AC adapter to the DC IN 9V jack and to each

standard 120V AC wall outlet.

Note:

• Use only the supplied AD-314 AC adapter for the base unit and AD-310 or AD-1010 for the charging cradle. Do not use any other AC adapter.

• Do not place the power cord where it creates a trip hazard or where it could become chafed and create a

re or electrical hazard.

Charge the handsets by placing one handset in the base unit and the other in the charging cradle with the keypad facing forward.

3) Make sure that the charge/in use LED and LED illuminate. If the LED does not illuminate, check to see that the AC adapter is plugged in and that the handset makes good contact with the cradle’s charging contacts.

Note:

• Connect the AC adapter to a continuous power supply (not controlled by a wall switch).

• Place each cradle close to the AC outlet to avoid long extension cords.

• Charge your handsets at least 15 - 20 hours before plugging into the phone line.

4) Once the handset battery packs are fully charged, connect the telephone line cord to the TEL LINE jack and a telephone outlet. If your telephone outlet isn't modular, contact your telephone company for assistance.

Mounting the Base Unit on a Wall

Standard wall plate mounting

This phone can be mounted on any standard wall plate.

1) Snap the wall mount adapter into the notches on the base top.

2) Plug the AC adapter to the DC IN 9V

jack.

3) Plug the AC adapter into a standard 120V AC wall outlet.

4) Plug the telephone line cord into the TEL LINE

jack.

5) Route the telephone line cord through the groove as shown.

6) Plug the telephone line cord into the telephone outlet.

7) Align the mounting slots on the base with the mounting posts on the wall.

Then push in and down until the phone is rmly seated.

Direct wall mounting

If you don’t have a standard wall plate, you can mount your phone directly to the wall. Before doing this, consider the following:

• Avoid electrical cables, pipes, or other items behind the mounting location that could cause a

hazard when inserting screws into the wall.

• Try to mount your phone within 5 feet of a working phone jack to avoid excessive cord lengths.

• Make sure the wall material is capable of supporting the weight of the base and handset.

• Use #10 screws (minimum length of 1-3/8 inches) with anchoring devices suitable for the wall

material where the base unit will be placed.

1) Insert two mounting screws into the wall (with their appropriate anchoring device), 3-15/16 inches apart. Allow about 1/8 of an inch between the wall and screw heads for mounting the phone.

2) Refer to steps 1 through 7 on page 1

1 to mount the telephone.

Using the Speed Dial Memory

Your cordless phone allows you to store up to 10 names and numbers in each handset. You can dial these numbers with just a few key presses. The speed dial memory is not limited to phone numbers. You can store any number (up to 20 digits) that you need to enter once your call connects. This is referred to as Chain Dialing. An example

is a frequently relled prescription number. Store your pharmacy phone number in one speed dial and your most frequently relled prescription number as another speed dial. To use, once you ring your pharmacy's automated

prescription line, simply press [memory] and the speed dial number where you stored your prescription number and press [select/channel].

Note: When editing the speed dial memory, you must press a key within 30 seconds or the phone will return to standby. If you return the handset to the cradle, the phone will return to standby also.

Talk and Standby Times

With average use, your handset battery provides approximately 6 hours of talk time and approximately 7 days of standby time. When your handset is not being used and is left off of the charging cradle 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.

1) Remove the battery cover and leave it off for ventilation.

2) Disconnect the battery pack. Leave the battery cover off and the battery pack disconnected for at least 3 days.

3) Once the handset is completely dry, reconnect the battery pack and the battery cover.

4) Recharge the handset's battery pack for 15 to 20 hours before using.

IMPORTANT:

You must unplug the telephone line while recharging the battery pack to avoid charge interruption.

CAUTION:

DO NOT use a microwave oven to speed up the drying process. This will cause permanent damage to the handset, base and the microwave oven. After following these steps, if your cordless telephone does not work, please call our Customer Service Hotline. See back cover page for contact information.

1) Disconnect the AC adapter from the base, cutting off electrical power.

2) Disconnect the telephone cord from the base.

3) Let dry for at least 3 days.

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.

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.

Radio Interference

Radio interference may occasionally cause buzzing and humming in your cordless handset, or 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. 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, you need to change to a different channel. 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.
