About the digital security code

This cordless telephone uses a digital
security code to prevent unauthorized
access to your base unit. This
security code prevents other cordless
handsets from making calls through
your base unit.
A random security code will be
assigned automatically between your
base unit and handset when you
charge the battery pack for the
first time.
If you want to reset the security
code, see page 34.

Do the following steps:

A. Choose the best location
B. Install the battery pack

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 brochure. 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 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.

C. Connect the base unit
D. Choose the dialing mode

Avoid noise sources such as a window
by a street with heavy traffic

1)Press in on the battery cover release and slide the cover
down until it comes off.

2)Connect the battery pack connector observing correct
polarity (black and red wires) to the jack inside the

Do not exert any force on this connection. It could cause
damage to the battery or to the handset. The plastic
connectors will fit together in only one way.
Once you are are certain that you have made a good
connection, then insert the battery pack into the battery
compartment. Do not pinch the wires.

GETTING STARTED

GETTING STARTED [ 7 ]

Battery use time (per charge)

From fully charged

• Seven hours continuous use

• Fourteen days when the handset is in the standby mode

• 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 a
telephone call.

• If you must replace
the battery pack
during a telephone
call, complete the
replacement of the
battery pack within
30 seconds, and you
can return to the
original call.

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.

The last number dialed in the redial memory, the names and
the numbers stored in the memory locations are retained for
up to 30 minutes while you replace the battery pack.

Cleaning the Battery Charging Contacts

To maintain a good charge, it is important to clean
the battery contacts on the handset and base unit
with a dry cloth or a pencil eraser about once a
month. Do not use any liquids or solvents.

Modular

D. Choose 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:

If your dialing system is

•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 system requires pulse dialing and you need to send the DTMF tones
for certain situations during a call, you may "switch-over" to tone dialing. (Refer
to "Tone Dialing Switch-over" on page 15.)

7)Raise the antenna to a vertical position.

8)Align the mounting slots on the base with the mounting posts on the wall.
Then push in and down until the phone is firmly seated.

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 5 feet of a working phone jack to avoid
excessive 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 screw heads for
mounting the phone.

2)Set the retainer clip if necessary.

3)Refer to steps 1 through 8 on pages 11 and 12 to mount
the telephone.

When the telephone rings, the Caller ID feature allows you to view the caller´s
name and phone number on the display before you answer the phone.
The handset displays the phone number of the incoming call, the name, time,
and the number of calls. Additionally, you can dial the displayed number and
store the information for memory dialing.

The Call Wating options
are a separate service
available through your
phone company.

If your calling area
requires 10-digit
dialing, do not program
this option.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION [ 39 ]

Technical Information

The FCC wants you to know!

Changes or modifications to this product not
expressly approved by Uniden, or operation of this
product in any way other than as detailed by the
owner's manual, could void your authority to
operate this product. The equipment cannot be
used on public coin phone service provided by the
telephone company. Connection to party line
service is subject to state tariffs. (Contact the
state public utility commission, public service
commission or corporation commission for
information.)

Below is some information that might concern
you while using your new phone.

Range

Your new phone is designed to achieve the
maximum possible range by transmitting and
receiving according to the highest specifications
set forth by the FCC. We have rated this phone to
operate at a maximum distance with the
qualification that the range depends upon the
environment in which the telephone is used. Many
factors limit range, and it would be impossible to
include all the variables in our rating. The
Maximum Range rating of this phone is meant to
be used as a means of comparison against other
range claims.

Telephone Line Problems

The FCC has granted the telephone company the
right to disconnect service in the event that your
phone causes problems on the telephone line.
Also, the telephone company may make changes in
facilities and services which may affect the
operation of your unit. However, your telephone
company must give adequate notice in writing
prior to such actions to allow you time for making
necessary arrangements to continue uninterrupted
service.

If you are having trouble with your telephone
service, you must first disconnect your phone to
determine if it is the cause of your problem. If
you determine that it is the cause, you must
leave it disconnected until the trouble has been
corrected.

Radio Interference

Radio interference may occasionally cause buzzing
and humming in your cordless handset, or clicking
noises in the base. This interference is caused by
external sources such as TV, refrigerator, vacuum
cleaner, fluorescent lighting, or electrical storm.
Your unit is NOT DEFECTIVE. If these noises
continue and are too distracting, please check
around your home to see what appliances may be
causing the problem.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION[ 40 ]

In addition, we recommend that the base not be
plugged into a circuit that also powers a major
appliance because of the potential for
interference. Be certain that the antenna on the
unit is fully extended when needed.

In the unlikely event that you consistently hear
other voices or distracting transmissions on your
phone, you may be receiving radio signals from
another cordless telephone or other source of
interference. If you cannot eliminate this type
of interference, you need to change to a
different channel.

Finally, it should be noted that some cordless
telephones operate at frequencies that may
cause interference to nearby TVs and VCRs. To
minimize or prevent such interference, the base
of the cordless telephone should not be placed
near or on top of a TV or VCR. If interference is
experienced, moving the cordless telephone
farther away from the TV or VCR will often
reduce or eliminate the interference.

More Than One Cordless Telephone

If you want to use more than one cordless
telephone in your home, they must operate on
different channels. Press the channel key to select
a channel that provides the clearest
communication.

Cordless Telephone Privacy

Cordless telephones are radio devices.
Communications between the handset and base of
your cordless telephone are accomplished by
means of radio waves which are broadcasted over
the open airways. Because of the inherent
physical properties of radio waves, your
communications can be received by radio receiving
devices other than your own cordless telephone
unit. Consequently, any communications using
your cordless telephone may not be private.
