Setting up the Phone

Choose 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 ovens, and fluorescent 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 specially wired alarm equipment connected to 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 qualified installer.

Symptom Suggestion

Unable to make or receive calls using Bluetooth headset and/or mobile phone.

Unable to hear any voice.

• Make sure your Bluetooth headset is in close range of the cordless handset it’s paired with.

• Make sure your mobile phone is in close range of the main base unit. (In theory, you have a range of 30 feet /10 meters line of sight. Walls or other intervening objects may require you to move closer to the base).

• Make sure the Auto Answer feature on your Bluetooth mobile phone is turned off. If AutoAnswer is On, your mobile may answer the call and interrupt your ELBT595. If this happens, the ELBT595 will place the call on hold.

• Register only one Bluetooth device to your ELBT595 and try again.

• Make sure your mobile supports Hands Free Profile (HFP).

• Make sure your Bluetooth headset supports Headset Profile (HSP).

• Deregister your Bluetooth headset or mobile phone, and register it again.

• Check to see if your Bluetooth mobile phone requires a special setting to let you talk while the mobile phone is on hook (for example, the Sony Ericson T610/T637/616 requires a special setting).

Liquid Damage

Moisture and liquid can damage your cordless phone. Follow the steps below if your phone gets wet:

Case Action

If the handset or base is exposed to moisture or liquid, but only the exterior plastic housing is affected.

If moisture or liquid has entered the plastic housing (i.e. liquid can be heard in the phone or liquid has entered the handset battery compartment or vent openings on the base).

Wipe off the liquid, and use as normal.

Handset:

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 20 hours before using.

Base:

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.

IMPORTANT: You must unplug the telephone line while recharging the battery packs 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 at 1-800-297-1023.

In most but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five (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 local tele phone company. For products approved after July 23, 20 01, the REN for this product is part of the product identifier 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.

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 modifications 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 F CC RF exposure guidelines and should be avoided.

Radio Interference

Radio interference may occasionally cause buzzing and humming in your cordless handset, or clicking noises in the base. 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 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.

[95] Precautions & Warranty

Page 97

Precautions & Warranty

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.
