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, microwave ovens, and fluorescent lighting.
•For better reception, place the base as high as possible.
•The base should be placed in an open area for optimum range and reception.
•If your home has 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 qualified 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.

12
Wall Mounting the Base
This phone can be mounted on any standard wall plate.
) Make the AC adapter and the telephone line cord through the hole on the wall mount adapter.
2) Plug the AC adapter into the DC IN 9V jack.
3) Plug the telephone line cord into the TEL LINE jack.
4) Slide the wall mount adapter into the notches on the base.
5) Plug the AC adapter into a standard 120V AC wall outlet. Hook the cord on the notch of the wall mount adapter.
6) Plug the telephone line cord into the telephone outlet. Hook the cord on the notch of the wall mount adapter.
7) 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.
Note: DO NOT use an AC outlet controlled by a wall switch.
To remove, push up
a tab on the wall
mount adapter as shown.
13
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.
2)Refer to the steps on page 13 to complete the mounting process.
14
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 finger indention for a better grip) and slide the cover downward to remove.
2)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.
3)Place the battery case cover back on the handset and slide it upwards until it clicks into place.
15
Connecting the Base and Charging the Handset
) Connect the AC adapter to the DC IN 9V jack.
2)Connect the AC adapter to a continuous power supply (i.e., an outlet that is not controlled by a switch).
3)Close the handset and place it in the base with the LCD screen facing forward.
4)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.
5)Charge your handset at least 15-20 hours before plugging into the phone line.
16
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.
2) 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 jack and to a telephone outlet.
Testing the connection
To test your connection, try making a call. If your call connects, the settings are fine. 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.
2)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.)
3)Change dial mode (instructions on page 18).
17

Adding Accessory Handsets
Your phone supports up to ten (10) handsets, including any handsets supplied with your phone. Accessory handsets do not need to be connected to a phone jack. You can now place a fully-featured cordless handset anywhere AC power is available to connect the handset charger.
Compatible Handsets
Your phone is compatible with the following Uniden 5.8 GHz Digital Accessory Handsets: TCX805, TCX905, TCX400, TCX440, TWX977 and ELX500. Please visit our website at www.uniden.com for the most up-to-date list of compatible handsets. If you purchase an accessory or extra handset, you must register the handset to the original or main base before use. Accessory handsets will not operate until they are registered.
Charge the Accessory Handset
The handset is powered by a rechargeable battery pack. The battery recharges automatically when the handset is placed in the charger.
) Connect the AC adapter to the DC IN 9V jack and to a standard 120V AC wall outlet.
2) Set the charger on a desk or tabletop, and place the handset in the charger with the keypad facing forward.
3)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.
4) Charge the handset battery pack for at least 15-20 hours before using your new cordless telephone for the first time.

Handsets that have not been registered display MODELS VARY! PLACE HANDSET ON THE BASE FOR REGISTRATION OR REFER TO OWNER’S MANUAL. (If an accessory handset has ever been registered to a base, you must reset the handset before you can register it to a new base. See Resetting the Handsets on page 24.)
