When choosing a location for your new phone, here are some important guidelines you should
consider:

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

• Depending on the base location, there is a possiblity that the correct temperature and
humidity can't be displayed.

• Do not place any objects around the base.

• The base should be placed in a well-ventilated area.

• 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.

• The base can be placed on a desk, tabletop, or mounted on a standard wall plate.

Outdoor Weather Sensor

The outdoor weather sensor monitors the outdoor temperature, air pressure, and humidity and sends
the received data to the base. Proper installation of outdoor weather sensors improves the accuracy
of the readings. Excessive heat, wind, and moisture can affect the sensor's readings. Follow the
guidelines below to get the most accurate information from your outdoor weather sensor:

• Do not mount the sensor in direct sunlight. Direct sunlight on the sensor will cause an
artificially high temperature reading.

• Do not mount the sensor where it will be exposed to rain and snow. Moisture on the sensor
may affect the temperature and humidity readings.

• Do not mount the sensor in the draft of an exhaust vent (e.g., from a heater, stove, or dryer).

• Do not mount the sensor above surfaces that radiate a lot of heat (e.g., bare concrete or blacktop). If
you can feel the temperature increase as you cross the surface, you should not put the sensor there.

• Try to avoid mounting the sensor close to plants or trees.

• Mount the sensor in a location where the airflow is representative of the surrounding area. If
the location of the sensor is unusually breezy or unusually still compared to the surrounding
area, the readings may be affected.

• Mount the sensor at least 60 inches above the ground.

• Mount the sensor 24 to 36 inches away from roof eaves, doors, or windows.

• If you are mounting the sensor above plants, the plants should be no higher than 10 inches above the ground.

• If your region gets snow, mounts the sensor at least 24 inches above the average maximum snow level.

• In the US and Canada, the north side of the building is considered the best location due to the angle of the sun.

damage any device connected to it. This phone is no exception.

The FCC Wants You To Know

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.
Your telephone compiles with Part 68 of FCC Rules. You must, upon
request, provide the FCC registration number and the REN to your
telephone company. Both numbers are on the base unit.

Note: You must not connect your phone to:

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject

Telephone Line Problems

The FCC has granted the telephone company the right to disconnect
service in the event that your phone causes problems on the telephone
line. Also, the telephone company may make changes in facilities and
services which may affect the operation of your unit. However, your
telephone company must give adequate notice in writing prior to such
actions to allow you time for making necessary arrangements to continue
uninterrupted service.
If you are having trouble with your telephone service, you must first
disconnect your phone to determine if it is the caus e of your problem. If
you determine that 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. 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 antenna on the unit is fully extended.
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.

More than One Cordless Telephone

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

Cordless Telephone Privacy

Cordless telephones are radio devices. Communications between the
handset and base of your cordless telephone are ac complished 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.

Installation Considerations

Selecting a Location
(Base and Handset)

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. (A continuous power outlet is an AC outlet which does
not have a switch to interrupt its power.)

• Keep the base and handset away from sources of electrical noise such
as motors or fluorescent lighting.

• The base can be placed on a desk or tabletop or mounted on a standard
telephone wall plate.

• You should charge your new phone for 15-20 hours before completing
the installation or using the handset.

(Outdoor Weather Sensor)

• Avo id heat s ources and dire ct sunl ight.

• Set up the outdoor weather sensor at le ast 60 inches from the ground.

• Set up the outdoor weather sensor where it will receive proper
ventilation.

• The unit require the proper space for ventilation

• Do not place the outdoor weather sensor where it will be exposed to rain or snow.

Telephone Line Outlets

There are two types of phone outlets:

Modular Jack

Most phone equipment available now uses 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, c ontact your local telep hone
company for information about their installation.

Hardwired Jack

Some equipment is wired directly to a phone jack, and these types of
installations require a modular jack converter. This type of installation is
not difficult; however, you should contact your Uniden telephone dealer
or a telephone supply store for advice about the proper adapter or
converter for your particular situation.

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.

Applying Power to the Base

This phone requires an AC outlet, without a switch to interrupt power,
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 strain
relief notch on the back of the base.

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.
