This series features AutoTalk and AutoStandby. AutoTalk allows you to answer a call by just removing
the handset from the cradle so you don't have to waste time pushing buttons. AutoStandby allows you to
hang up by simply returning the handset to the cradle.
To protect you against mis-billed calls that might result from your phone being activated by other
equipment, this series has
Random Code digital security, which automatically selects one of more than
10,000,000 digital security codes for the handset and base.
Digital Spread Spectrum Technology uses a wider frequency band than standard digital transmissions. The
result is a more secure conversation with the clarity of digital sound, extended range, and minimal
interference from other cordless phones.
IntegriSound Built in sound quality which provides life-like conversations.
With
DirectLink mode, you can use 2 or more handsets as radio transceivers (walkie-talkies).

B. Install the rechargeable battery pack into the handset
The handset is powered by a rechargeable battery pack. The battery recharges
automatically when the handset is placed in the base unit. 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.
1) Press down on the handset battery case cover (use the
finger indention for a better grip) and slide the cover
downward to remove.
2) Turn the battery pack so that the connector with the red
and black wires is near the jack inside the battery
compartment. Match the connector's wire colors to the
polarity label in the battery compartment (the connector
notches fit into the grooves of the jack only one way).
Push the battery pack connector into the jack until it
clicks into place.
3) Make sure you have a good connection by gently 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 and slide
it upwards until it clicks into place.

C. Connect the base unit
1) Connect the AC adapter to the DC IN 9V jack and to
a standard 120V AC wall outlet.
Connect the AC adapter to a continuous power
supply (i.e., an outlet that is not controlled by a
switch).
2) Set the base on a desk or tabletop, and place the
handset in the base unit.
Place the base unit close to the AC outlet so that
you can unplug the AC adapter easily.
3) Make sure that the charge LED illuminates.
If the LED does not illuminate, check to see that the
AC adapter is plugged in and the handset makes
good contact with the base charging contacts.
4) After install the battery pack in the handset, charge
your handset for at least 15-20 hours before
plugging into the phone line.
5) Once the handset battery pack is fully charged,
connect the telephone line cord to the TEL LINE jack
and to a telephone outlet.
If your telephone outlet isn't modular,
contact your telephone company for
assistance.

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) Refer to steps 1 through 7 on page 12 to mount the
telephone.

Important Safety Instructions
When using your telephone equipment, these basic safety precautions
should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, and
injury to persons:
1. Read and understand all instructions.
2. Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the product.
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 f irst 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 t he trouble has been corrected.
Radio Interference
Radio interference may occasiona lly cause buzzing and humming in your
cordless hand set, or clic king noises in the base. This interference is
caused by external sources such as TV, refrigera tor, 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 pl ugged into a circuit that also
powers a major appliance because of the potential for interference. Be
certain that the antenna on the un it is fully extended when needed.
In the unlikely event tha t you consistently hear other vo ices or
distracting transmissions on your phone, you may be receiving radio
signals from another cordless telephone or other source of interference.
If you cannot elimina te this type of interference, you need to change to
a different channel.
Finally, it should be noted that some cordless telephones opera te at
frequencies that may cause interference t o 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 el iminate the interference.
More than One Cordless Telephone
If you want to use more than o ne cordless telephone in your ho me, 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 telep hone 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 cordless telephone unit. Consequently, any communications
using your cordless telephone may not be private.
Installation Considerations
Selecting a Location
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 ou tlet. (A c ontinuous p ower out let is an AC outlet w hich does
not have a switch to interrupt 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 mounted on a standard
telephone wall plate.
• You should charge your new phone for 15-20 hours before completing
the installation or using the handset.
Telephone Line Outlets
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 installation.
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 difficult; however, you should contact your Uniden telephone dealer
or a telephone supply store for advice about the proper adapter or
converter for your particular situation.
Connecting the Telephone Cords
Consider these safety guidelines before connecting the telephone cords:
Caution!
• 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.
Applying Power to the Base
This phone requires an AC outlet, without a switch to interrupt power,
and the included AC adapter. To relieve strain on the DC plug when the
phone is placed on a desk or table, wrap the power cord around the
strain relief notch 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.
