cleaning, and use a dry cloth, without liquid or
aerosol cleaners.

4. Do not use this product near water; for
example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen
sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near
a swimming pool.

5. Do not place this product on an unstable cart,
stand, or table. The telephone may fall,
causing serious damage to the unit.

6. Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back

will be damaged by persons walking on it.

9. Do not overload wall outlets and extension
cords, as this can result in the risk of fire or
electrical shock.

10. Never push objects of any kind into this
product through cabinet slots, as they may
touch dangerous voltage points or short out

2

11. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not
disassemble this product. Take it to qualified

Battery Safety Precautions

Caution: To reduce the risk of fire or injury to

persons by the battery, read and follow
these instructions:

1. Use only the appropriate type and size Battery
Pack specified in this Operating Guide.

2. Do not dispose of the Battery Pack in a fire.
The cell may explode. Check the
Nickel-Cadmium Battery Disposal package
insert for disposal instructions.

Released electrolyte is corrosive and may
cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be
toxic if swallowed.

4. Exercise care in handling the battery in order
not to short the battery with conducting
materials such as rings, bracelets, and keys.
The battery or conductor may overheat and
cause burns.

5. Charge the Battery Pack provided with or

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.

Warning: Please do not attempt to unplug any

appliance during an electrical storm.

Caution: Changes or modifications to this product

not expressly approved by Uniden, or
operation of this product in any way
other than as detailed by this Operating
Guide, could void your authority to
operate this product.

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.

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.

7

Radio Interference

Radio interference may occasionally cause buzzing
and humming in your cordless Handset, or clicking
noises in the Base Unit. 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. 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.

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.

Installation

Selecting a Location

Before choosing a location for your new phone,
there are some important guidelines you should
consider:

• The location should be close to both a
phone jack and continuous power outlet.

Note: A continuous power outlet is an AC

outlet which does not have a switch to
interrupt its power.

• Keep the Base Unit and Handset away
from sources of electrical noise such as
motors or fluorescent lighting.

• Be sure there is sufficient space to fully
extend the Base Unit antenna.

• The Base Unit can be placed on a desk or
tabletop or mounted on a standard AT&T
or GTE wall plate.

• If you decide to mount your phone on the
wall, make sure to change the handset
retainer so that the tab which holds the
Handset faces up. (See page 18 for more
information.)

• You should charge your new phone for
15-20 hours before completing the
installation or using the Handset.

9

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.

Hard-wired 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.

10

Applying Power to the Base Unit

All the

XC600/700 SERIES

phones require 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,
connect the adapter as shown below.

AC ADAPTOR

PULSE–TONE

Wrap the power cord

around the convenient

notch on the bottom.

Important: 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.

Adapter Safety Feature

The AC adapter furnished with this phone may be
equipped with a polarized line plug — a plug having
one blade wider than the other. This plug will fit into
the power outlet only one way. If you are unable to
insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the
plug.

Do not alter the shape of

the blades of the

polarized plug.

Desk or Tabletop Installation

1. Place the Base on a

15

Direct Wall Mounting

If you do not have a standard wall plate, you can
mount your phone directly on a wall. Before
mounting your phone, consider the following:

• Select a location away from electrical
cables, pipes, or other items behind the
mounting location that could cause a
hazard when inserting screws into the wall.

• Make sure the wall material is capable of
supporting the weight of the Base Unit and
Handset.

• Use #10 screws with anchoring devices
suitable for the wall material where the
Base Unit will be placed.

1. Insert two mounting
screws 3

apart. Allow about

The handset retainer holds the Handset in place if
your phone is mounted on a wall. The steps below
describe how to remove and replace the retainer so
that the tab faces up.

1. Push up on the
Handset retainer on
the Base Unit, and
slide the tab out.

Automatic Digital Code Security

To avoid unauthorized calls on your phone, a Digital
Code was added to all
phones. This Digital Code is shared only between
the Handset and Base Unit. The Code is set

automatically when you first use the phone.

To change the Digital Code, be sure the Handset is
on the Base, then:
