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 (

use

) illuminates once the handset is placed in the base. The LED light will illuminate regardless if the battery pack is connected or not.

If the base

charge/in use LED light does not illuminate:

• Check to see if the AC adapter is plugged into the base unit

and the electrical wall outlet properly. (Use only the supplied AC adapter. Do not use any other AC adapter.)

• If there is any foreign matter on the rubber seal located on the under side of the battery cover, the handset may not be water resistant.

• The rubber seal should be kept clean and replaced every 2 years to ensure the handset is water resistant even if the seal does not look worn. Do not place a wet or dirty handset in the base.

GETTING STARTED[ 10 ] www.uniden.com

Replace the rechargeable handset battery pack

1) Remove the 3 screws holding the battery compartment with a screwdriver and take off the battery cover. Remove the old battery pack in the battery compartment.

2) Plug the replacement battery connector (red & black wires) into the small, black jack inside the battery compartment. (The connector notches fit into the grooves of the jack only one-way.) Match the wire colors to the polarity label in the battery compartment, connect the battery and listen for a click to insure connection.

Rubber Seal

3) Make certain you have made a good connection by slightly pulling on the battery wires. If the battery connector is not securely connected, the handset will not charge properly.

4) Before placing the battery cover back on the handset, make sure there is no foreign matter under the rubber seal located on the under side. By inserting bottom first, place the battery cover back on the handset and tighten the 3 screws.

If the rubber seal appears warn, nicked, or dried out, replacement seals are available through the Uniden Parts Department. If you have questions regarding installation of battery pack and/or rubber seal, please call our Customer Hotline at 1-800-297-1023.

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.
