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.

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.

Your new phone is designed to achieve the maximum possible range by
transmitting and receiving according to the highes t specifications set
forth by the FCC. We have rat ed this phone to operate at a maximum
distance with the qualification that t he rang e 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 t his phone is meant to be used as a
means of comparison against other range claims.
TTeelleepphhoonneeLLiinneePPrroobblleemmss
The FCC has granted the telephone company the right to disconnect
service in the event that y our phone causes problems on the
telephone line. Also, the telephone company may make changes in
facilities and services which may affect t he operation of your unit.
However, your telephone company must give adequate notice in
writing prior to such actions to allow you time for making necessar y
arrangements to continue uninterr upted service.
If you are having trouble with your telephone service, you must firs t

Radio inter ference may occasionally cause buzzing and humming in
your cordless handset, or clicking noises in the base. This inter ference
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. In
addition, we recommend that the base not be plugged into a circuit
that also powers a major appliance because of the potential f or
interference. Be cer tain that the ant enna on the unit is fully extended
when needed.
In the unlikely event that you consistently hear ot her voices or
distracting transmissions on y our phone, you may be receiving radio
signals from another cordless telephone or other source of
interfe rence. If you cannot eliminate this type of inter ference, you
need to change to a different c hannel.
Finally, it should be noted that some cordless telephones operate at
frequencies that ma y cause interfe rence to nearby TVs and VCRs. To
minimize or prevent such inter ference, 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 cordles s telephone far ther
away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the
interference.
If you want t o use more than one cordless telephone in your home,
they must operate on diffe rent channels. Press the channel key to
select a channel that provides the clearest communication.

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 proper ties 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 priv ate.
Before choosing a location for your new phone, there are some
important guidelines you should consider:
• The location should be close to both a phone jack and continuous
power outlet. (A continuous power outlet is an AC outlet which
does not have a switch to interr upt its power.)
• Keep the base and handset away from sources of electrical noise
such as motors or fluorescent lighting.
• Be sure there is sufficient space to fully extend the base antenna.
• The base can be placed on a desk or tabletop or mount ed on a
standard telephone wall plate.
• You should charge your new phone for 15-20 hours before
completing the installation or using the handset.
TTeelleepphhoonneeLLiinneeOOuuttlleettss
There are two types of phone outlets:
Modular Jack
Most phone equipment available now uses modular jacks. Phone cords
are fitted with a molded plastic connector which plugs into this type
of jack. If you do not have modular phone jacks, contact your local
telephone company for information about their ins tallation.
Hardwired Jack
Some equipment is wired directly to a phone jack, and these types of
installations require a modular jack converter. This type of installation
is not diff icult; however, you should contact your Uniden telephone
dealer or a telephone supply store for advice about the proper adapte r
or converter for your particular situation.
Consider these safety guidelines before connecting the telephone
cords:
CCaauuttiioonn!!
•
Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
•
Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the
telephone line has been disconnected.
•
Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.

This phone requires an AC outlet, wit hout a switch to interr upt power,
and the included AC adapter. To relieve strain on t he DC plug when the
phone is placed on a desk or table, wrap the power cord around the
strain relief not ch on the bottom of the base.
NOTE:Place the power cord so that it does not create a trip
hazard, or where it could become chafed and create a
fire or other electrical hazards.
