RECHARGEABLE NICKEL-CADMIUM BATTERY WARNING
❏ This equipment contains a Rechargeable Nickel-Cadmium Battery.
❏ Cadmium is a chemical known to the State of California to cause
cancer.
❏ The Rechargeable Nickel-Cadmium Battery contained in this
equipment may explode if disposed of in a fire.
❏ Do not short-circuit the battery.
❏ Do not charge the Rechargeable Nickel-Cadmium Battery used in
this equipment in any charger other than the one designed to charge
this battery as specified in this Guide. Using another charger may
damage the battery or cause the battery to explode.
RECHARGEABLE NICKEL-CADMIUM BATTERIES MUST BE RECYCLED
OR DISPOSED OF PROPERLY
Uniden voluntarily participates in an RBRC®program to collect and recycle
nickel-cadmium batteries at the end of their useful life, when taken out of
service within the United States. The RBRC®program provides a convenient
alternative to placing used nickel-cadmium batteries into the trash or
municipal waste stream, which is illegal in some states.
Through the RBRC®program, Uniden makes it easy for you to drop off the
used battery at local retailers of replacement nickel-cadmium batteries. You
may also contact your local recycling center for more information on where
to return the used battery. Please call 1-800-8-BATTERY for information on
Ni-Cd battery recycling in your area. Uniden’s involvement in this program is
part of its commitment to protecting our environment and conserving
natural resources.

Placement — Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The
telephone may fall, causing serious damage to the unit.
Ventilation — This product should never be placed near or over a radiator or
heat register. This product should not be placed in a built-in installation unless
proper ventilation is provided.
3
Power Sources — This product should be operated only from the type of power
source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power
supply to your home, consult your dealer or local power company.
Power-Cord Protection — Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do
not locate this product where the cord will be damaged by persons walking on it.
Overloading — Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords, as this can
result in the risk of fire or electrical shock.
Obstructions — Never push objects of any kind into this product through
cabinet slots, as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that
could result in a risk of fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the
product.
Servicing — To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this
product. Take it to qualified service personnel when service or repair work is
required. Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltages or
other risks. Incorrect reassembly can cause electric shock when the appliance is
subsequently used.
Damage Requiring Service — Unplug this product from the wall outlet and
refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
A. When the power supply cord is damaged or frayed.
B. If liquid has been spilled into the product.
C. If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
D. If the product does not operate normally when following the operating
instructions. (Adjust only those controls that are covered by the
operating instructions. Improper adjustment of other controls may

qualified technician.)
E. If the product has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
F. If the product exhibits a distinct change in performance.
Hazards — Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
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 broadcast 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 telephone unit. Consequently, any
communications using your cordless telephone may not be private.

Precautions
To reduce the risk of fire or injury to persons by the battery, read and follow
these instructions:
Recommended Battery — Use only the appropriate type and size Battery Pack
specified in this Operating Guide.
Battery Disposal — Do not dispose of the Battery Pack in a fire. The cell may
explode. Check the Nickel-Cadmium Battery Disposal package insert for
disposal instructions.
Damage to Battery Case — Do not open or mutilate the Battery Pack.
Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes or skin. It
may be toxic if swallowed.
Battery Handling — Exercise care in handling the battery in order not to short
the battery with conducting materials such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The
battery or conductor may overheat and cause burns.
Battery Charging — Charge the Battery Pack provided with or identified for use
with this product only in accordance with the instructions and limitations
specified in the instruction manual provided for this product.
Battery Polarity — Observe proper polarity orientation between the Battery
Pack and battery charger.
1. Press in on the Battery Cover Release and slide the battery compartment
cover down.
11

2.
socket and plug it in.
Note: The black lead will be on the right when the plug is properly aligned.
3. Place the battery pack inside the battery compartment, and slide the battery
cover back on.
Note: The built-in Memory Backup feature allows up to 3 minutes to
disconnect the old battery pack and install a new one without losing
any numbers stored in memory. For optimum battery performance,
please charge the battery overnight before using the system.
12
Charging the Handset
Place the handset on the base to charge. The Charge message appears on
the LCD. See page 17 for details.
Note: The handset must be fully charged before the phone will operate
properly. The battery included with your phone is not charged. Allow
12 to 15 hours for the Handset to charge.
During this time you can use the speaker phone to make calls.
Battery Memory Effect
Rechargeable batteries can develop a “memory” (reduced charge capacity)
caused by repeated charge and discharge cycles. The battery life will seem to
be shorter over time as you use the unit.
To Avoid Memory Effect
At least once a month, operate the unit until the “Battery Low” indicator appears.
Avoid “topping off” the charge after using the phone for a short time. Also, do not
charge the Rechargeable Battery for extended periods of time.
Low Battery Indicator
When the Battery Pack in the Handset is low and needs to be charged, the
talk/batt low
If this occurs while you are on the phone, you hear an alert tone. Complete
your call as quickly as possible, and return the Handset to the Base Unit
