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.
9
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.
Privacy
Cordless telephones are radio devices.
Communications between the Handset and Base Unit
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 byradio receiving devices other than your
own cordless telephone unit. Consequently, any
communications using your cordless telephone may
not be private .
10
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 20 for more information.)
• You should charge your new phone for 15-20
hours before completing the installation or
using the Handset.
11
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.
