INSTALLING THE
PHONE
Installing the Phone
Do the following steps:
A. Choose the Best Location
B. Install the Rechargeable Battery Packs into the Handsets
C. Connect the Main Base and Charging Cradle, and Charge the Handsets
D. Mount the Main Base on a Wall
A. Choose the Best Location
Before 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 main base and each handset should be kept away from sources of electrical
noise such as motors, microwave ovens, and fluorescent lighting.
• The cradle can be placed on a desk, tabletop, or mounted on a standard wall plate.
For better reception, place the main base as high as possible.
• The main base should be placed in an open area for optimum range and reception.
Avoid excessive moisture,
extremely low temperatures,
dust, mechanical vibration,
or shock
Avoid heat sources, such as radiators,
air ducts, and sunlight
Avoid television sets and other
electronic equipment
Avoid noise sources such as a window
by a street with heavy traffic
Avoid microwave ovens
Avoid personal computers
Avoid other cordless telephones
Choose a central location
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 qualified
installer.
INSTALLING THE PHONE[ 8 ] www.uniden.com
B. Install the Rechargeable Battery Packs into the
Handsets
All handsets are powered by rechargeable battery packs.
The battery recharges automatically when the handset is
placed in the main base or charging cradle.
1) Press down on the handset battery case cover (use the
finger 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 fit 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.
Use only the Uniden
(BT-905) rechargeable
battery pack supplied
with your phone.

INSTALLING THE PHONE[ 12 ] www.uniden.com
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 lengths.
• Make sure the wall material is capable of supporting the weight
of the main base and handset.
• Use #10 screws (minimum length of 1-3/8 inches) with anchoring
devices suitable for the wall material where the main base 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 6 on page 11 to mount the telephone.

or by calling our Parts Department. See page 35.)
Register Handsets to the Main Base before Using!
Whichever handset you choose to charge in the main base will automatically register
to the main base.
The handsets charging in the extra charging cradle MUST also be registered to the
main base before use. Follow the steps below to register all handsets.
1) Be sure all handsets are fully charged.
2) Remove the handset from the charging cradle, and place it in the main base. The
charge/in use LED light on the main base will begin to flash, indicating that the
registration is taking place.
3) Wait for at least 5 seconds, then remove the handset from the main base.
4) Repeat step 2 - 3 for the rest of handsets.
5) Press the
talk/flash key on one handset. If "Talk" appears on the display, the
handset is registered, press the
end key. Then try with all other handsets. If each
handset displays "Talk", the handset has been registered to the base. Otherwise,
return to step 1 and try again.
6) Once all handsets are registered, it doesn’t matter which handset is placed in the
main base or the charging cradle.
• When you charge the
handsets, Caller ID
summary screen and
the name of the
handset appears.
Following display is
the example of handset
No.1 (HS1).
• The charging cradle
can be used to charge
any handset.
WHEN TO RE-REGISTER HANDSETS[ 14 ] www.uniden.com
Make sure to return the
handsets to the cradles
after each phone call.
When to Re-register Handsets
1) You’ll need to re-register all handsets (follow steps on page 13) each time the
digital security code is changed. Refer to page 32 for details regarding the Digital
Security Code.
2) When there is a power failure for more than one hour:
If power failure occurs (e.g. due to electrical storm or if the unit is unplugged
during a move), all handsets will need to be re-registered. To re-register, follow
the same registration process on page 13.
3) If any handset’s battery becomes very low, the handset must be recharged for
15-20 hours and re-registered to the main base unit.
