Setting up the Phone

Do the following steps:

A. Choose the best location C. Connect the base unit
B. Activate the handset before charging the battery

A. Choose the best location

Before choosing a location for your new phone, read “Installation Considerations” on
page 44. Here are some important guidelines you should consider:

Avoid heat sources, such as radiators,
air ducts, and sunlight

Avoid television sets and other
electronic equipment

Choose a central location

• The location should be close to both a phone jack and a continuous power outlet
which is not switchable.

• Keep the base and handset away from sources of electrical noise such as motors,
microwave ovens, and fluorescent lighting.

• The base can be placed on a desk, tabletop, or mounted on a standard wall plate.

Avoid noise sources such as a window
by a street with heavy traffic

Avoid microwave ovens

Avoid excessive moisture,
extremely low temperatures,
dust, mechanical vibration,
or shock

Avoid personal computers

Avoid other cordless telephones

B. Activate the handset before charging the battery

The handset is powered by a rechargeable battery pack already
installed in the handset’s battery compartment. Before
charging the battery for the fist time, push the pin for
activation, located on the bottom of the handset (see label
with instructions). Once activated, remove the label and then
place the handset in the base unit to charge.

Make sure to charge for 15-20 hours without interruption (do
not plug the telephone cord into the unit and wall jack during
charge time). The base unit’s LED light labeled (

• If there is any foreign
matter on the rubber
seal located on the
under side of the

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 6 on page 13 to mount the telephone.

product only in accordance with the instructions and limitations
specified in the owner’s manual provided for this product.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

Important Electrical Considerations

Unplug all electrical appliances when you know an electrical storm is
approaching. Lightning can pass through your household wiring and
damage any device connected to it. This phone is no exception.

The FCC Wants You To Know

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. Your telephone compiles with Part 68 of FCC Rules. You must,
upon request, provide the FCC registration number and the REN to your
telephone company. Both numbers are on the base unit.

NOTE: You must not connect your phone to:

• coin-operated systems

• most electronic key telephone systems

Range

Your new phone is designed to achieve the maximum possible range by
transmitting and receiving according to the highest specifications set
forth by the FCC. We have rated this phone to operate at a maximum
distance with the qualification that the range depends upon the
environment in which the telephone is used. Many factors limit range,
and it would be impossible to include all the variables in our rating.
The Maximum Range rating of this phone is meant to be used as a
means of comparison against other range claims.

INFORMATION

ADDITIONAL

Telephone Line Problems

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 first
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 the trouble has been corrected.

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,
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 plugged into a circuit
that also powers a major appliance because of the potential for
interference. 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.

More Than One Cordless Telephone

If you want to use more than one cordless telephone in your home,
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 telephone 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:

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION[ 44 ] www.uniden.com

• The location should be close to both a phone jack and continuous
power outlet. (A continuous power outlet is an AC outlet which 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.

• 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 back 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.
