I.C. Notice
Notice: The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective, operational and safety requirements. The Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user’s satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of connection. In some cases, the company’s inside wiring associated with a single line individual service may be extended by means of a certified connector assembly (telephone extension cord). The customer should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance facility designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.
Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.
Caution: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the appropriate electric inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.”
“Notice: This cordless telephone uses radio communications between the handset and the base set, and may not ensure privacy of communication. Other devices including other cordless telephones may interfere with the operation of this cordless telephone or cause noise during operation. Units not containing coded access signaling could be accessed by other cordless telephones or radio communications systems. Cordless telephones must no cause interference to any licensed radio service.”

Important Electrical Considerations
Warning:
Unplug all electrical appliances when you know an electrical storm is approaching. Lightning can pass through your household wiring and damage any device connected to it. This phone is no exception.
Caution:
Please do not attempt to unplug any appliance during
an electrical storm.
Changes or modifications to this product not expressly approved by Uniden, or operation of this product in any way other than as detailed by this Operating Guide, could void your authority to operate this product.
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.
7
Radio Interference
Radio interference may occasionally cause buzzing and humming in your cordless Handset, or clicking noises in the Base Unit. 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 office to see what appliances may be causing the problem. 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 office, they must operate on different channels. This telephone will automatically select a channel that provides the clearest communication.
8
Installing Your Phone
Selecting the Installation Location
Select a location that avoids excessive heat or humidity. The Base can be placed on a desk or tabletop near a standard 120V AC outlet and telephone line jack, or it can also be mounted on a standard AT&T or GTE wall plate using the Wall Mount Adapter included with your telephone. Place this Base Unit near the desk unit. Keep the Base and Handset away from sources of electrical noise such as motors, fluorescent lighting, or computers.
Connecting the Telephone Line
There are two types of phone outlets:
Modular Jack
Plug the telephone line cord from the Base Unit into a standard modular telephone jack. (Note: If you do not have a modular jack, contact your PBX Administrator for information on the installation of these jacks.)
Hard-wired Jack
A modular jack converter (not included) is required. You may need to rewire when connecting the converter (making color-coded connections).

Connecting the Telephone Cords
The MER 9600C must be connected to a digital PBX port.
CAUTION:
