GETTING STARTED[ 8 ]

Setting up the Phone

Do the following steps:

A. Choose the best location C. Connect the base unit B. Install the rechargeable battery D. Choosing the dialing mode

pack into the handset.

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:

• 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.

• If your second phone line has a separate modular jack, place your phone so you

can access both jacks.

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

note

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.

B. Install the rechargeable battery pack into the handset

The handset is powered by a rechargeable battery pack. The battery recharges automatically when the handset is placed on the base unit.

Charge the handset battery pack for at least 15-20 hours before using your new cordless telephone for the first time!

To maximize the charge capacity of your battery pack, DO NOT plug the telephone cord into the base unit and wall jack until the battery is fully charged.

1) Press down on the handset battery case cover (use the finger indention for a better grip) and slide the cover downward to remove.

2) Plug the battery pack connector (red & black wires) into the small, black jack inside the battery compartment. (The connector notches fit into the grooves of the jack only one-way.) Match the wire colors to the polarity label in the battery compartment, connect the battery and listen for a click to insure connection.

3) Make certain you have made a good connection by slightly pulling on the battery wires to insure that there is a secure connection. If the battery connector is not securely connected, the handset will not charge properly.

GETTING STARTED

Use only the Uniden (BT-905) rechargeable battery pack supplied with your cordless telephone.

Replacement batteries are also available through the Uniden Parts Department at (800)554-3988, Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. or online at

www.uniden.com.

GETTING STARTED[ 10 ]

Battery use time (per charge)

From fully charged

• Up to seven hours continuous use during talk mode.

• Up to 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 charging contacts

To maintain a good charge, it is important to clean the charging contacts on both the handset and base unit once a month. Use a dry cloth or pencil eraser to clean. If the contacts become very dirty, using water only, dampen a cloth to clean the charging contacts. Then make sure to go back over the charging contacts with a dry cloth before returning the handset to the base to charge.

Even when the battery 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.

The handset memory backup can hold Caller ID Memory, Memory Dial, and all settings stored in memory even if the battery pack is completely discharged.

note

• Standby Mode-

The handset is not in use, off the base and line 1 or line 2 has not been pressed. A dial tone is not present.

• Talk Mode-

The handset is off the base and

line 1 or

line 2 has been

pressed enabling a dial tone.

C. Connect the base unit

1) Connect the AC adapter to the DC IN 9V

jack and to 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. Remove the beltclip, if attached for face up charging. (For wall mounting, see “Mounting the Base Unit on a Wall”, on page 13 and 14).

3) Raise the antenna to a vertical position.

4) Make sure the

charge/in use LED is illuminated. If the

LED is not illuminated, check to see that the AC adapter is plugged in and the handset makes good contact with the base charging contacts.

note

The handset can be placed face up or face down on the base for charging.

• 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.

tip

If your telephone outlet isn’t modular, contact your telephone company for assistance.

note

For 2 line subscriptions,

• If the two phone lines are in one modular jack, connect using

TEL LINE 1-2

jack.

• If the two phone lines are on two separate modular jacks, connect using both

TEL LINE 1-2 and

TEL LINE 2 jacks.

Mounting the Base Unit on a Wall

DO NOT use an outlet controlled by a wall switch.

www.uniden.com

[ 14 ] GETTING STARTED[ 14 ]

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 6-10 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 screwheads for mounting the phone.

2) Set the retainer clip if necessary.

3) Refer to steps 1 through 8 on page 13 to mount

the telephone.

D. Choosing the dialing 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) Press and hold the

flash key on the base until you hear a confirmation tone.

2) To set the dial mode for pulse dialing, press

# on the base. Or to set the

dial mode for tone dialing, press

/tone on the base. 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 dialing 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 21).

www.uniden.com

If you enter a 3-digit area code number in the “Area Code” option, your local area code does not appear in the Caller ID messages.

For calls received from outside your local area code, you will see a full 10-digit number.

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

cid/menu/hold

until the Caller ID setting screen appears.
