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 uorescent 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 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.

Your phone allows you to store up to 2 numbers per name and up to 100 names in your handset and base phonebook. Your phone shares memory between your phonebook and CID with a total of 100 entries which are not used up by the 2 phone numbers that can be stored per 1 name entry. Once you store 100 phonebook entries, CID infor mation will not be stored and will only display at time of new incoming calls. When Phonebook entries are full, you will hear a beep and MEMORY FULL appears. You cannot store any additional names and numbers unless you de lete some of the existing ones.

You can also use the phonebook or speed dial locations to store a group of numbers (up to 32 digits) that you may need to enter once your call connects. This is referred to as Chain Dialing. (See page 3

manufacturer with a preset security code. Resetting this code is not normally necessary. In the rare situation that you suspect another cordless telephone is using the same security code or if you are instructed to change this code by a manufacturer’s Call Center Representative, you can change the code by:

Perform “Resetting the Handset” for all of your handsets.

1. Re-register each handset by following the steps on page 2

Traveling Out of Range

During a call, if you move your handset too far away from your base, noise may increase. If you pass the range limits of the base, you will hear a beep and see OUT OF RANGE on the display, and then the handset returns to standby.

The FCC Wants You To Know

This equi pment comp lies wit h Par t 68 of the F CC rules and the requirements adopted by the ACTA. On the bottom of this equipment is

a label that contains, among other information, a product identier in the

format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this number must be provided to the telephone company.

An applicable Universal Service Order Codes (USOC) certication for the

jacks used in this equipment is provided (i.e., RJ11C) in the packaging with each piece of approved terminal equipment. A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA. A compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this product. It is designed to be connected to a compatible modular jack that is also compliant. See installation instructions for details.

The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In

most but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed ve (5.0).

To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the telephone provider. For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is part

of the product identier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The

digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3). For earlier products, the REN is separately shown on the label.

If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. But if advance notice isn’t practical, the telephone company will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also,

you will be advised of your right to le a complaint with the FCC if you

believe it is necessary. The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment,

opera tio ns o r procedur es that could affect the o peration o f the equipment. If this happens the telephone company will provide advance notice in order for you to make necessary modifications to maintain uninterrupted service.

Please follow instructions for repairing, if any (e.g. battery replacement section); otherwise do not substitute or repair any parts of the device

except as specied in this manual. Connection to party line service is

subject to state tariffs. Contact the state public utility commission, public service commission or corporation commission for information. This equipment is hearing aid compatible.

Should you experience trouble with this equipment, please contact Uniden customer service at 800-297-1023. If the equipment is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may request that you disconnect the equipment until the problem is resolved.

NOTICE: According to telephone company reports, AC electrical surges, typically resulting from lightning strikes, are very destructive to telephone equipment connected to AC power sources. To minimize damage from these types of surges, a surge arrestor is recommended.

Changes or modifications to this product not expressly approved by Uniden, or operation of this product in any way other than as detailed by the owner’s manual, could void your authority to operate this product.

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Privacy of communications may not be ensured when using this phone.

To insure the safety of users, the FCC has established criteria for the amount of radio frequency energy various products may produce depending on their intended usage. This product has been tested and found to comply with the FCC’s exposure criteria. For body worn operation, the FCC RF exposure guidelines were also met when used with the Uniden accessories supplied or designed for this product. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines and should be avoided.

Radio Interference

Radio interference may occasionally cause buzzing and humming in your cordless handset, or clicking noises in the base. This interference is caused by external sources such as TV, refrigerator, vacuum cleaner,

uorescent 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 for interference. Be certain that the antenna on the unit is fully extended when needed. 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 Telephone Privacy

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. Bec ause of the inherent physical properties of radio w aves, 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.
