This cordless telephone uses a digital security code to prevent unauthorized access to your base unit. This security code prevents other cordless handsets from making calls through your base unit. A random security code will be assigned automatically between your base unit and handset when you charge the battery pack for the first time. If you want to reset the security code, see page 34.

AA.. CChhoooossee tthhee bbeesstt llooccaattiioonn Before choosing a location for your new phone, read the INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS included in the PRECAUTIONS AND IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS brochure. Here are some important guidelines you should consider:
The location should be close to both a phone jack and a continuous power outlet which is not switchable.
Keep the base and handset away from sources of electrical noise such as motors, microwave ovens, and fluorescent lighting.
Be sure there is sufficient space to raise the base antenna to a vertical position.
The base can be placed on a desk, tabletop, or mounted on a standard wall plate.

1)Press in on the battery cover release and slide the cover down until it comes off.
2)Connect the battery pack connector observing correct polarity (black and red wires) to the jack inside the battery compartment.
Do not exert any force on this connection. It could cause damage to the battery or handset. The plastic connector will fit together only one way. Once you are certain that you have made a good connection, then insert the battery pack into the battery compartment. Do not pinch the wires.
3)Securely close the batter y compar tment cover by sliding it up until it snaps into place.
4)Place the handset on the base.
Use only the Uniden batter y (BT-905) supplied with your phone. Replacement batteries are also available through the Uniden Par ts Depar tment (see page 5).

Even when the batter y pack is not being used, it will gradually discharge over a long period of time. For optimum performance, be sure to return the handset to the base unit after each telephone call.
If you must replace the batter y pack during a telephone call, complete the replacement within 30 seconds, and you can return to the original call.
Use only the supplied AD-420 AC adapter. Do not use any other AC adapter.
Connect the AC adapter to a continuous power supply.
Place the base unit close to the AC outlet so that you can unplug the AC adapter easily.

1)Connect the AC adapter to the
DDCC IINN 99VV
jack
and a standard 120V AC wall outlet.
2)Set the base on a desk or tabletop, and place the handset on the base unit as shown. (For wall mounting, see "Mounting the Base Unit on a Wall", on page 11.)

4)Make sure the
ssttaattuuss
LED lights. If the LED does not light, check to see that the AC adapter is plugged in and the handset makes good contact with the base charging contacts.
Place the power cord so that it does not create a trip hazard or where it could become chafed and create a fire or electrical hazard.
The handset can be placed face up or face down in the base for charging.
If your telephone outlet isnt modular, contact your telephone company for assistance.

DD.. CChhoooossee tthhee ddiiaalliinngg mmooddee Most phone systems use tone dialing which sends DTMF tones through the phone lines. However some phone systems still use pulse dialing such as in rural areas. The default setting is tone dialing. Depending on your dialing system, set the mode as follows:
1)Press and hold
ffllaasshh
until you hear a confirmation tone.
2)To set the dial mode for pulse dialing, press
##
.
Or to set the dial mode for tone dialing, press
*
/
ttoonnee
.
A confirmation tone sounds to indicate the setting is complete.
If you are not sure of your dialing system, set for tone dialing. Make a trial call. If the call connects, leave the setting as is, otherwise set for pulse dialing.
If your phone system requires pulse dialing and you need to send DTMF tones for
certain situations during a call, you may "switch-over" to tone dialing. (Refer to "Tone Dialing Switch-over" on page 15.)
Modular
Make sure your battery pack is fully charged before choosing the dial mode.
5)Connect the telephone line cord to the
TTEELL LLIINNEE
jack and a telephone outlet once the handset is fully charged.
After installing the battery pack in the handset, charge your handset at least
1122--1155 hhoouurrss bbeeffoorree pplluuggggiinngg iinnttoo tthhee pphhoonnee lliinnee
. Once the handset battery pack is

9)Align the mounting slots on the base with the mounting posts on the wall. Then push in and down until the phone is f irmly seated.
DDiirreecctt wwaallll mmoouunnttiinngg
If you dont 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 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)Set the retainer clip if necessary.
3)Refer to steps 1 through 9 on pages 11 and 12 to mount the telephone.
