Installing the Phone

Choosing 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 handset should be kept away from sources of electrical noise such as motors, micro

wave ovens, and uorescent lighting.

For better reception, place the base as high as pos

sible. The base should be placed in an open area for opti

mum range and reception. If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to a phone line, be sure that installing the system does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment, contact your telephone company or a

qualied installer.

Note: For maximum range: Keep the antenna free of obstruction. When the handset is not in use, place the handset in an upright position. Do not hold the handset where you would block the signal. Metal and reinforced concrete may affect cordless telephone performance.

Wall Mounting the Base

This phone can be mounted on any standard wall plate.

Snap the wall mount adapter into the notches on the base top. Plug the AC adapter into the DC IN 9V jack. Wrap the AC adapter cord inside the molded wiring channel as shown. Plug the AC adapter into a standard 120V AC wall outlet. Plug the telephone line cord into the TEL LINE jack. Plug the telephone line cord into the telephone outlet. Align the mounting slots on the base with the mounting posts on the wall. Then

push in and down until the phone is rmly seated.

Note: DO NOT use an AC outlet controlled by a wall switch.

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 wire lengths. Make sure the wall material is capable of supporting the weight of the base and handset. Use #10 screws with a minimum length of 1-3/8 inches, with anchoring devices suitable for the wall material where the base unit will be placed.

Insert two mounting screws into the wall, using the appropriate anchoring device, 3-15/16 inches apart. Allow about 1/8 inch between the wall and screw heads for mounting the phone.

Refer to the steps on page 1

4 to complete the mounting process.

•

Installing the Rechargeable Battery

Use only the Uniden BT-446 rechargeable battery pack supplied with your cordless telephone. Follow the steps below to install a battery:

Press in on the handset battery case cover (use the nger indention for a better grip) and slide the cover

downward to remove. Plug the battery cable into the battery jack. Be sure to match the red and black wires to the label near the

jack. The cable should snap into place. Gently pull on the battery cable. If the battery connector comes lose, try connecting again until the battery snaps into place.

Place the battery case cover back on the handset and slide it upwards until it clicks into place.

Connecting the Base and Charging the Handset

Connect the AC adapter to the DC IN 9V jack. Connect the AC adapter to a continuous power supply (i.e., an outlet that is not controlled by a switch). Close the handset and place it in the base with the LCD screen facing forward. Make sure that the charge/in use 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. Charge your handset at least 15-20 hours before plugging into the phone line.

Installing the Belt Clip

Line up the holes on each side of the handset. To attach the belt clip, insert into the holes on each side of the handset. Press down until it clicks.

To remove the belt clip, pull either side of the belt clip to release the tabs from the holes.

Connecting to the Phone Line

Once the handset battery pack is fully charged, connect the telephone line cord to the TEL LINE 1/2 jack and to a tele

phone outlet.

For 2 line subscriptions,

If the two phone lines are in one modular jack, connect using TEL LINE 1/2 jack. If the two phone lines are on two separate modular jacks, connect using both TEL LINE 1/2 and TEL LINE 2 jacks.

•

Testing the connection

To test your connection, try making a call. If your call connects, the settings are ne. If your call does not connect,

check the following:

Check the AC adapter cord. Make sure it is securely connected to the DC IN connector and to a standard AC power outlet.

Check to make sure the battery is fully charged. (If you don’t see the “battery full” icon, check to make sure the battery is properly connected.)

Change dial mode (instructions on page 2
