Installing the Phone

Do the following steps:

A. Choose the best location
B. Install the rechargeable battery pack into the handset
C. Connect the base unit and charge the handset
D. Mount the base unit on a wall
E. Choose the dialing mode

A. Choose the best location

When choosing a location for your new phone, 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

• The location should be close to both a phone jack and a continuous power outlet (one

which is not connected to a switch).

• The base and handset should be kept away from sources of electrical noise such as

motors and fluorescent lighting.

• The base can be placed on a desk, tabletop, or mounted on a standard wall plate. For bet-

ter reception, place the base as high as possible.

• The base should be placed in an open area for optimum range and reception.

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

B. Install the rechargeable battery pack into the handset

Route the cord.

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 the 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 approximately 7 days
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 charging cradle
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.

2) Set the base unit on a desk or tabletop, and place
the handset in the base unit with the keypad facing
forward.

3) Make sure the charge/in use LED illuminates.
If the LED does not illuminate, check to see that the
AC adapter is plugged in and the handset makes
good contact with the base charging contacts.

NOTICE: Do not place the power cord where it creates

NOTE: • Use only the supplied AD-0001 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 to
avoid long extension cords.
