Installing the Phone

Do the following steps:

A. Choose the best location B. Install the rechargeable battery pack into the handset C. Connect the base unit and charging cradle (XS1215+1 only), and charge the handset D. Mount the base unit on a wall E. Choose the dialing mode

A. Choose the best location

When choosing a location for your new phone, 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 (one which is not connected to a switch).

• The base and handset should be kept away from sources of electrical noise such as motors and fluorescent lighting.

• The base can be placed on a desk, tabletop, or mounted on a standard wall plate. For better reception, place the base as high as possible.

• The base should be placed in an open area for optimum range and reception.

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

[6]

If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, be sure that installing the system does not disable your alarm equipment.

If you have questions

about what will disable your alarm equipment, contact your telephone company or a qualified installer.

INSTALLING THE PHONE

B. Install the Rechargeable Battery Pack into the Handset

The handset(s) are powered by rechargeable battery packs. The battery recharges automatically when the handset is placed in the charging cradle.

Use only the Uniden

(BT-905) rechargeable

battery pack supplied

with your cordless

telephone.

1) Press down on the handset battery case cover (use the finger indention for a better grip) and slide the cover downward to remove.

2) Plug the battery pack connector (red & black wires) into the jack inside the battery compartment. (The connector notches fit into the grooves of the 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.

3) Make sure you have a good connection by slightly pulling on the battery wires. If the connection is secure, the battery jack will remain in place.

4) Place the battery case cover back in the handset by sliding it upwards until it clicks into place.

Repeat process for second handset (XS1215+1 only).

[7]

C. Connect the Main Base and Charging Cradle (XS1215+1 only), and Charge the Handsets

INSTALLING THE PHONE

1) Connect each AC adapter to the jack and to each standard AC wall outlet.

2) Place one handset in the main base (and the other in the charging cradle - XS1215+1 only) with the keypad facing forward.

3) Make sure the LED (and LED - XS1215+1 only) illuminate. If the LED does not illuminate, check to see that the AC adapter is plugged in and the handset makes good contact with the cradle's charging contacts.

• Connect each AC adapter to a continuous power supply.

• Place each cradle close to the AC outlet to avoid long extension cords.

4) Charge your handset(s) at least 15-20 hours before plugging the phone line.

5) Once the handset battery pack(s) are fully charged, connect the telephone line cord to the jack and a telephone outlet. If your telephone outlet isn't modular, contact your telephone company for assistance.

INSTALLING THE PHONE

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 1.5m of a working phone jack to avoid excessive cord lengths.

• Make sure the wall material is capable of supporting the weight of the main base and handset.

• Use #10 screws (minimum length of 35mm) with anchoring devices suitable for the wall material where the main base will be placed.

1) Insert two mounting screws into the wall, (with their appropriate anchoring device), 100mm apart. Allow about 3mm between the wall and screw heads for mounting the phone.

2) Refer to steps 1 through 7 on page 9 to mount the telephone.
