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 in the base unit.
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.
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 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 th e battery and listen for a click to
insure connection.
3) Before replacing the battery cover, pull on the battery
wires slightly. If the connection is secure, the jack will
stay in place. Then place the battery case cover back on
the handset by sliding it upwards until it clicks into place.
NOTE: For optimum performance, use only the Uniden
Battery (BT-905 or BT-1006) supplied with your
phone.
Talk and Standby Times
With average use, your handset battery provides
approximately 6 hours of talk time and approximat ely 7 da ys
of standby time. When your handset is not being used and is
left off of the charging cradle, the battery will gradually
discharge. You can achieve optimum battery life and
performance by returning the handset to the charg ing cr adle
after each use. If the handset is left off of the charging cradle, the actual talk time duration will
be reduced respective to the amount of time the handset is off of the charging cradle.
C. Connect the base unit and charge the handset
1) Connect the AC adapter to the DC IN 9V jack and a
standard 120V AC wall outlet.
