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 uorescent lighting.

• The base can be placed on a desk, tabletop, or mounted on a standard wall plate. For better 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 trafc

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.

ModularModular

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 qualied installer.

1) Press down on the handset battery case cover (use the

nger 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 t 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) Fit the battery pack into the battery compartment.

4) 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- 1007) supplied with your phone.

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 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 a trip hazard or where

it could become chafed and create a re

or electrical hazard. 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.

4) Charge your handset at least 15-20 hours before plugging the phone line.

5) Once the handset battery pack is fully charged, connect the telephone line cord to the TEL LINE jack and a telephone outlet. If your telephone outlet isn’t modular, contact your telephone company for assistance.
