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 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 qualied 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.
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.

Adding Accessory Handsets
Your phone supports up to ten (10) handsets, including any handsets supplied with your phone. Accessory handsets

Your phone is compatible with the following Uniden 5.8 GHz Digital Accessory Handsets: TCX905 and TWX977.
Please visit our website at

accessory or extra handset, you must register the handset to the original or main base before use. Accessory hand
-
sets will not operate until they are registered.

Registering TCX905/TWX977 Accessory Handsets, or Other Compatible Handsets
If you purchase an accessory handset, you need to register the handset before use. Only one handset can be reg-
istered at a time. Handsets supplied with the phone are registered to the base by the factory. When charged, pre-
registered handsets display a handset ID number. Handsets that have not been registered display MODELS VARY!

handset has ever been registered to a base, you must reset the handset before you can register it to a new base.

Setting up the Phonebook
Your phone allows you to store up to 2 numbers per name and up to 100 names in your handset and base phone-
book. 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.
