Im~ortant Electrical Considerations

Unplugall electrical appliances when you know an electrical storm is
approaching. Lightningcan pass through your householdwiring anddamage
any device connectedto it. The XC345 is no exception.

Warning: Please do not attempt to unplug any appliance during an electrical

storm.

Caution: Changes ormodificationsto thisproduct not expressly approved

by Uniden, or operation of the product in any way other than as
detailed by this Operating Guide, could void your authority to
operate this product.

Range

The XC345 is designed to achieve the maximumpossible range by
transmitting and receiving accordingto the highest specifications. We have
ratedthis phone to operate at a maximumdistance with the qualification that
the range depends upon the environment in which the telephone is used.
Manyfactors limit range, and it would be impossibleto include all the
variables in our rating. The Maximum Range rating of the XC345 is meantto
be used as a means of comparison against other range claims.

Telephone Line Problems

If you are havingtrouble with your telephone service, you mustfirst
disconnect your phone to determine if it is the cause of your problem. Ifyou
determinethat it isthe cause, you must leave it disconnected untilthe

trouble has been corrected.

Radio Interference

Radio interference may occasionally cause buzzingand humming inyour
cordless Handset, or clicking noises inthe Base Unit.This interferenceis
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

hometo see what appliances may be causing the problem. In addition,we

recommendthat the Base not be plugged into a circuitthat also powers a

majorappliance because of the potential for interference.Be certain that the
antenna on the unit is fully extended.

Inthe unlikely event that you consistently hear other voices or distracting
transmissions on your phone, you may be receiving radio signals from
anothercordless telephone or other source of interference. If you cannot
eliminatethis type of interference, you need to changeto a different channel.

Finally, it should be noted that some cordless telephones operate at
frequencies that may cause interferenceto nearbyTVs and VCRs; to

minimizeor prevent such interference,the base of the cordlesstelephone
should notbe placed nearor on top of a TV or VCR; and, if interferenceis
experienced, moving the cordless telephone farther away from the TV or

VCR will often reduceor eliminate the interference.

More Than One Cordless Telephone

Ifyou want to use more than one cordless telephone in your home, they
must operateon differentchannels. Press the channel key to select a
channel that providesthe clearest communication.
