INSTALLING THE

PHONE

Installing the Phone

Do the following steps:

A. Choose the Best Location B. Install the Rechargeable Battery Pack into the Handset C. Connect the Base Unit and Charge the Handset D. Mount the Base Unit 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 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.

For better reception, place the base as high as possible.

• The 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

BASIC SETUP

BASIC SETUP [ 13 ]www.uniden.com

Basic Setup

There are five basic options that you will need to set up: AutoTalk, CIDCW (Caller ID on Call Waiting), Area Code, Dial Mode and Language.

Activating AutoTalk

AutoTalk allows you to answer the phone simply by removing the handset from the base. You do not have to press any keys.

1) When the phone is in standby mode, press and hold the

call id/menu key. The following screen appears.

2) Press the

select/remote key to turn AutoTalk on.

3) Press the

end key to complete the setting. The handset returns to standby mode.

Activating Caller ID on Call Waiting

Caller ID allows you to see the name and number of the calling party before you answer the phone. Caller ID on Call Waiting (CIDCW) lets you see the name and number of a call that comes in when you are on the line. You must subscribe to Caller ID service through your local telephone provider to use this feature.

1) When the phone is in standby mode, press and hold the

call id/menu key. The following screen appears.

end key to complete the setting. The handset returns to standby mode.

Choosing the Dialing Mode

Your phone can communicate with the telephone network in two different ways: tone dialing and pulse dialing. These days, most phone networks use a method called tone dialing, so your phone comes programmed for tone dialing. If your phone company uses pulse dialing, you'll need to change your phone's dial mode. There's an easy way to tell: try making a call. If your call connects, your phone's setting is fine. If not, follow the steps below:

Entering Your Area Code

If you can make a call by dialing only 7 digits (instead of 10), you can program your local area code in your phone. If you get a call from within your area code, you'll only see the 7-digit phone number. If you get a call from outside your area code, you'll see all 10 digits.

• Through the RBRC® program, Uniden makes it easy for you to drop off the used battery at local retailers of replacement nickel-cadmium batteries. You may also contact your local recycling center for information on where to return the used battery. Please call 1-8008-BATTERY for information on Ni-Cd battery recycling in your area. Uniden's involvement in this program is part of its commitment to protecting our environment and conserving natural resources.

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 identifier in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this number must be provided to the telephone company. An applicable Universal Service Order Codes (USOC) certification 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 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 telephone company. For products approved after July 23, 2001, 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. 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 file 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 modifications 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 specified 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.

PRECAUTIONS & WARRANTY[ 56 ] www.uniden.com

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 FCCís 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 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. 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.
