1-1. Choosing the Best Location

To get the best performance out of your new phone, put it in the best location:

Notes: For maximum range

Keep both the base and handset antennas free of obstruction.

• When the handset is not in use, place the handset in an upright position.

• Metal and reinforced concrete may aect cordless telephone performance.

•

1-2. Plug in the Battery

Use only the Uniden BT-905 rechargeable battery pack supplied with your phone.

1-3. Plug in the Base

Don’t put any power cord where people might trip over it or step on it. If a power cord becomes chafed or worn out, it can create a re or electrical hazard.

Note: For optimum battery life, charge your handset completely before you connect the telephone

cord. The rst time you charge a new battery, allow 15 to 20 hours.

1-4. Connect the Telephone Cord

Make a quick test call, and then press [END] to hang up.

What if the call doesn't go through?

Try changing the dial mode (see below).

What if there is a lot of static?

Check the sources of interference described in section 1-1 on Choosing the best location: is the base near any of those?

Test the connection

Changing from tone to pulse dialing (DIAL)

Your phone can communicate with the telephone network in two dierent ways: tone dialing or 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 need to change your phone’s dial settings. If you don't get a dial tone or can't connect to the telephone network, follow the steps below to modify your phone’s settings:

With the phone in standby, press and hold [cid/menu].

Press [ ] to move the pointer to DIAL.

Press [select/channel] to set the phone to pulse dialing.

Press [END] and put the handset back in the base. The handset communicates the new setting to the

base.

Note: If you use pulse dialing and you need to send DTMF tones during a call (if you're using an automated

response system, for example), press [ /tone/ ] to temporarily switch to tone dialing. When the call ends, the phone automatically returns to pulse dialing mode.

Now your phone is ready to use!

1-5. Attach the Belt Clip

To attach the belt clip

Insert the tabs on the side of the belt clip into the holes on either side of the handset. Press the belt clip down until it clicks into place. (Tug on the clip to make sure it’s secure.)

To remove the belt clip

Gently pull the tabs out of the holes, then slide the belt clip o of the handset.
