Important Safety Instructions Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of this Cordless Telephone. This phone is designed to exacting standards that provide reliability, long life, and outstanding performance. Features 900 MHz Long-range Digital Spread Spectrum Technology 20 Channel Manual scan AutoTalk* * 10-Number Memory Redial, Flash and Pause AutoSecure* * Pulse/Tone Dialing AutoStandby* * 1-way Page/Find Button 7 Day Battery Life AutoTalk* allows you to answer a call by just removing the Handset from the Base Unit so you do not have to waste time pushing buttons or flipping switches. AutoStandby* allows you to hang up by simply returning the Handset to the Base Unit. Auto Channel Scan - During a call, your phone constantly monitors the noise levels of the channel. If the channel becomes too noisy, the unit automatically switches to a clearer channel to maintain the best transmission quality. Spread Spectrum Technology provides a digital link between the Base Unit and Handset. This results in better security, virtually eliminating any chance of outside monitoring, and improves noise reduction for top-quality sound. The AutoSecure* feature electronically locks your phone when the Handset is in the Base Unit. To get the most from your phone, please read this Operating Guide thoroughly. Also, be sure to complete the Product Registration Form and mail it in. 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 XXX Corporation, 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. 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 Unit 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. 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 Do not operate two cordless phones too close to each other because of the interference. This interference can be reduced by lowering your base unit antenna (reducing its range). Privacy Note: Cordless telephones are radio devices. Communications between the handset and the base 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 by radio receiving devices other than your own cordless telephone unit. Consequently, any communications using your cordless telephone may not be private. 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. (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. * You should charge your new phone for 15-20 hours before completing the installation or using the Handset. 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. Applying Power to the Base Unit This phone requires 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. Wrap the power cord around the strain relief notch on the bottom of the Base Unit. 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! If you cannot plug the AC adapter into the outlet, contact someone about replacing the outlet. Desk or Tabletop Installation 1. Plug the AC Adapter cord into the 9 VDC input jack on the Base Unit. 2. Place the AC Adapter cord around the strain relief notch. 3. Plug one end of the long telephone cord into the TEL LINE jack on the Base Unit. 4. Plug the other end of the cord into the telephone jack on the wall. 5. Plug the AC Adapter into a standard 120 VAC wall outlet. Do not use an outlet controlled by a wall switch. Use only the AC Adapter supplied with this phone. 6. Place the Base Unit on a desk or tabletop. In desk or table top installation, the Handset is designed to stand only vertically in the Base Unit. DO NOT lay the Handset down on the Base Unit. Wall Installation Standard Wall Plate Mounting These phones are designed to be mounted on a standard AT&T or GTE wall plate. To attach the wall mount to the Base Unit: 1. Rotate the wall mount stand down and snap into place. 2. Plug the AC Adapter into the Base Unit. 3. Wrap the AC Adapter cord around the strain relief notch. Then put the AC Adapter cord inside the molded channel. 4. Plug one end of the short telephone cord into the TEL LINE jack on the Base Unit.

We recommend that the battery pack charge for approximately 15-20 hours, without interruption, before plugging the phone line into your new phone. 1. Place the Handset on the Base Unit. 2. Make sure the status LED lights. If the LED doesn't light, check to see that the AC adapter is plugged in and that the Handset is making good contact with the Base Unit charging contacts. Battery Memory Effect Rechargeable batteries can develop a reduced charge capacity caused by repeated charge and discharge cycles. Rechargeable batteries that have developed this effect will not operate to their fullest capacity. To avoid memory effect, operate the unit until the rechargeable battery is completely discharged before recharging. Do not drop off the charge after using for a short time. Also, do not charge the rechargeable battery for extended periods of time. To erase memory effect, operate the unit until the rechargeable battery is completely discharged, then fully recharge. Repeat this process at least three (3)times. Low Battery Indicator When the Battery Pack in the Handset is very low and needs to be charged, the talk & batt low LED flashes. Complete your call as quickly as possible. Return the Handset to the Base Unit for charging. Allow 15 to 20 hours without any interruption for the Handset to fully recharge. Cleaning the Battery Contacts To maintain a good charge, it is important to clean all charging contacts on the Handset and Base Unit about once a month. Use a pencil eraser or other contact cleaner. Do not use any liquids or solvents. Adjusting Ringer Controls Ringer Tone and Volume The phone has 2 ringer tones with two volume levels each - one soft and one loud.
