Unplug all electrical appliances when you know an electrical storm is approaching. Lighting can pass through your household wiring and damage any device connected to it. This phone is no exception.

Caution: Changes or modifications to this product not expressly approved by Uniden,

Range

Your new phone is designed to achieve the maximum possible range by transmitting and receiving according to the highest specifications. 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.

The Maximum Range rating of this phone is meant to be used as a means of comparison against other range claims.

Telephone Line Problems

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.

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

storm.

PRECAUTIONS

FOR YOUR PHONE

The exclamation point within a triangle is intended to alert the user of an important operating or maintenance instruction.

PRECAUTIONS

When using your telephone equipment, these basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduced the risk of fire, electrical shock, and injury to persons:

1. Read and understand all instructions.

3. Unplug this product from the wall outlet before 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, shower, 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 stand, or table. The telephone may fall, causing serious damage to the unit.

6. Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom are provided for ventilation. To protect the product from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered. This product should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This product should not be placed in a built-in installation unless proper ventilation is provided.

7. This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your dealer or local power company.

8. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate this product where the cord 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 parts that could result in a risk of fire or electrical shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.

11. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this product. Take it to qualified service personnel when service or repair work is required. Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltages or other risks. Incorrect reassembly can cause electric shock when the appliance is subsequently used.

qualified technician.) E. If the product has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged. F. If the product exhibits a distinct change in performance.

13. Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.

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.

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, change to a different channel (refer to page 17).

Finally, it should be noted that some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause interference to nearby TVs and VCRs. To minimise 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

1. 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.

2. Each telephone device that you connect draws power from the phone line. We refer to the power drawn as the devices Ringer Equivalence Number (REN). The REN is shown at the bottom part of your telephone. If you are using more than one phone or other device on the line, add up all the RENs. If the total is more than 3, your phones may not ring.
