Setting up the Phone
Do the following steps:
A. Choose the best location |
C. Connect the base unit |
B. Install the battery pack |
|
A. Choose the best location
Before choosing a location for your new phone, read the INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS included in the PRECAUTIONS AND IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS. 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
Choose a central location
Avoid noise sources such as a window by a street with heavy traffic
Avoid microwave ovens
Avoid excessive moisture, extremely low temperatures,
dust, mechanical vibration, or shock
Avoid personal computers
Avoid other cordless telephones
•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.
STARTED GETTING
G E T T I N G S TA R T E D [ 9 ]
•Use only the Uniden battery (BT-905) supplied with your phone. Replacement batteries are also available through the Uniden Parts Department (see page 8).
•Recharge your phone on a regular basis by returning the handset to the base after each phone call.
B. Install the battery pack
Charge the battery pack for at least 15-20 hours before plugging in the telephone line and start using your phone.
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. 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 battery compartment cover by sliding it up until it snaps into place.
4)Place the handset on the base.
[ 10 ] G E T T I N G S TA R T E D
Battery use time (per charge)
From fully charged (15-20 hours charge time)
•Seven hours continuous use.
•Fourteen days when the handset is in the standby mode.
Low battery alert
When the battery pack is very low and needs to be charged, the phone is programmed to eliminate functions in order to save power. If the phone is not in use, “Low Battery” appears on the LCD and none of the keys will operate.
If the phone is in use, “Low Battery” flashes and the handset beeps. Complete your conversation as quickly as possible and return the handset to the base unit for charging.

Cleaning the battery charging contacts
To maintain a good charge, it is important to clean the battery contacts on the handset and base unit with a dry cloth or a pencil eraser about once a month. Do not use any liquids or solvents.

G E T T I N G S TA R T E D [ 13 ]
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 cord 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)Refer to steps 1 through 7 on page 13 to mount the telephone.

•Standby Mode - The handset is not in use, off the base, and talk/flash has not been pressed. A dial tone is not present.
•Talk Mode - The handset is off the base and talk/flash has been pressed enabling a dial tone.

Choosing the dial mode
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)When the phone is in the standby mode, press and hold call id/menu. The following screen appears.
2)Press 4 or press three times to select “Dial”.
3)Press select to toggle between “Tone” and “Pulse”.
4)Press end or return the handset to the base unit to complete the setting. The handset returns to the standby mode.
Setting the language
1)When the phone is in the standby mode, Press and hold call id/menu. The following screen appears.
2)Press 5 or press four times to select “Language”.
3)Press select to toggle between “Eng” and “Fr.”.
4)Press end or return the handset to the base unit to complete the setting. The handset returns to the standby mode.
•If you are not sure of your dialing system, 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 the DTMF tones for certain situations during a call, you may “switch-over” to tone dialing (refer to “Tone Dialing Switch-over” on page 20).
