Installing the Phone

Do the following steps:

A. Choose the best location B. Install the Rechargeable Battery Packs into the Handsets C. Connect the base unit and charging cradle and charge the handsets D. Set the visual ringer brightness (optional) E. Mount the base unit on a wall (optional)

A. Choose the best location

When choosing a location for your new phone, here are some important guidelines you should consider:

• 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 each handset should be kept away from sources of electrical noise such as

motors and fluorescent lighting.

• The cradle 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 traffic

Avoid heat sources, such as radiators,

air ducts, and sunlight

Choose a central location

Avoid other cordless telephones

Avoid personal computers

Avoid excessive moisture, extremely low temperatures, dust, mechanical vibration, or shock

Avoid microwave ovens Avoid television sets and other electronic equipment

! 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.

B. Install the Rechargeable Battery Packs into the Handsets

Both handsets are powered by rechargeable battery packs. The battery recharges automatically when the handset is placed in the main base or charging cradle.

1) Locate the separate battery and battery cover.

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) Make sure you have a good connection by slightly pulling on the battery wires. If the connection is secure, the battery jack will remain in place.

4) Place the battery case cover back on the handset by sliding it upwards until it clicks into place.

Use only the

Uniden

battery pack

(BT-905 or

BT-905s)

supplied with

your cordless

telephone.

GETTING STARTED

[7]

C. Connect the Base Unit and charging cradle, and Charge the

Handsets

1) Connect each AC adapter to the DC in 9V jack and to each standard 240V AC wall outlet.

• Connect each AC adapter to a continuous power supply.

• Place the base unit close to the AC outlet so that you can unplug the AC adapter easily.

2) Place one handset in the main base and the other in the charging cradle with the keypad facing forward.

3) Make sure that the charge/in use LED and

charge LED illuminate. If the LED does not illuminate, check to see that the AC adapter is plugged in and the handset makes good contact with the cradle's charging contacts.

4) Charge the handset battery packs for at least 15-20 hours before using your

new cordless telephone for the first time! To maximize the charge capacity of your battery pack, DO NOT plug the telephone cord into the base unit and wall jack until the battery is fully charged.

! Use only the

supplied AAD--041S AC adaptor for the base and AAD600S AC adaptor for the charger.

! Do not use

any other AC adapter.

! Do not place

the power cord where it creates a trip hazard or where it could become chafed and create a fire or electrical hazard.

5) Once the handset battery packs are fully charged, connect the telephone cord to the tel line jack and to a telephone outlet. If your telephone outlet isn't modular, contact your telephone company for assistance.

6) After the phone is connected, pick up the handset from the base and press talk. If you do not get a dial tone, check the following:

• Be sure the telephone cord is securely connected to both the base and an

active telephone jack.

• Be sure the charge/in use LED is on. If not, check the AC adapter.

• Be sure the handset is fully charged.

• Be sure the battery is installed correctly.

D. Set the Visual Ringer Brightness

The visual ringer switch allows you to set the brightness of the visual ringer/messages LED on the base. There are three options to choose from: high, low and off. If you set the switch to off, visual ringer/messages LED never flashes.

2) Plug the AC adapter to the DC in 9V jack.

3) Wrap the AC adapter cord inside the molded wiring channel as shown.

4) Plug the AC adapter into a standard 240V AC wall outlet.

5) Plug the telephone cord into the tel line jack.

6) Wrap the cord inside the molded wiring channel as shown.

8) Raise the antenna to a vertical position.

9) 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.

If the base unit is

mounted on the wall, always put

the handset in

the base with the

CID display

facing forward to

make sure the

handset does not

fall out of the

base.

• Try to mount your phone within 1.5m of a working phone jack to avoid excessive cord lengths.

• Make sure the wall material is capable of supporting the weight of the base and handset.

• Use #10 screws (minimum length of 35mm) 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), 100mm apart. Allow about 3mm between the wall and screw heads for mounting the phone.

When to Re-register Handsets

1) You’ll need to re-register the second handset (follow steps on page 11) each time the digital security code is changed. Refer to page 33 for details regarding the Digital Security Code.

2) When there is a power failure for more than one hour: If power failure occurs (e.g. due to electrical storm or if the unit is unplugged during a move), both handsets will need to be reregistered. To re- register, follow the same registration process on page 11.

3) If the second handset’s battery becomes very low, the handset must be recharged for 15-20 hours and re-registered to main base. Make sure to return the handsets to the cradles after each phone call.

Basic Setup

There are four basic options that you will need to set up: AutoTalk, CIDCW (Caller ID on Call Waiting), Name Tag and Insert 0.

CIDCW option can only be set by using Handset 1. If you try to set by using Handset 2, you will not see these options listed on the LCD screen. (Handset 1 shows in the display while the phone is charging.) AutoTalk, Name Tag and Insert 0 options can be set by using either Handset 1 or Handset 2.

Activating AutoTalk

AutoTalk allows you to answer the phone simply by removing the handset from the cradle. You do not have to press any keys.

1) When the phone is in standby mode, press the menu key. The following screen appears.

2) Press the select/channel key to turn AutoTalk on.

3) Press the menu key to complete the setting. The handset returns to standby mode.

Activating Caller ID on Call Waiting
