Lightning can pass through your household wiring anddamage any device connected to it. This phone is no exception.Warning!Please do not attempt to unplug any appliance during an electricalstorm.The FCC Wants You To KnowChanges or modifications to this product not expressly approved byUniden, or operation of this product in any way other than as detailedby the owner’s manual, could void your authority to operate this prod-uct. The equipment cannot be used on public coin phone service provid-ed by the telephone company. Connection to party line service is sub-ject to state tariffs. (Contact the state public utility commission, publicservice commission or corporation commission for information.)RangeYour new phone is designed to achieve the maximum possible range bytransmitting and receiving according to the highest specifications setforth by the FCC. We have rated this phone to operate at a maximumdistance with the qualification that the range depends upon the envi-ronment in which the telephone is used. Many factors limit range, and itwould be impossible to include all the variables in our rating. TheMaximum Range rating of this phone is meant to be used as a means ofcomparison against other range claims.Telephone Line ProblemsThe FCC has granted the telephone company the right to disconnect ser-vice in the event that your phone causes problems on the telephoneline. Also, the telephone company may make changes in facilities andservices which may affect the operation of your unit. However, yourtelephone company must give adequate notice in writing prior to suchactions to allow you time for making necessary arrangements to contin-ue uninterrupted service.If you are having trouble with your telephone service, you must firstdisconnect your phone to determine if it is the cause of your problem. Ifyou determine that it is the cause, you must leave it disconnected untilthe trouble has been corrected.Radio InterferenceRadio interference may occasionally cause buzzing and humming in yourcordless handset, or clicking noises in the base. This interference iscaused by external sources such as TV, refrigerator, vacuum cleaner, flu-orescent lighting, or electrical storm. Your unit is NOT DEFECTIVE. Ifthese noises continue and are too distracting, please check around yourhome to see what appliances may be causing the problem. In addition,The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle isintended to alert the user to the presence of impor-tant operating and maintenance (servicing) instruc-tions in the literature accompanying the appliance.EXI376_OM 12/18/1 9:37 AM Page 43
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION[ 44 ]we recommend that the base not be plugged into a circuit that alsopowers a major appliance because of the potential for interference. Becertain that the antenna on the unit is fully extended when needed.In the unlikely event that you consistently hear other voices or distract-ing transmissions on your phone, you may be receiving radio signalsfrom another cordless telephone or other source of interference. If youcannot eliminate this type of interference, you need to change to a dif-ferent channel.Finally, it should be noted that some cordless telephones operate at fre-quencies that may cause interference to nearby TVs and VCRs. To mini-mize or prevent such interference, the base of the cordless telephoneshould not be placed near or on top of a TV or VCR. If interference isexperienced, moving the cordless telephone farther away from the TV orVCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference.More Than One Cordless TelephoneIf you want to use more than one cordless telephone in your home, theymust operate on different channels. Press the channel key to select achannel that provides the clearest communication.Cordless Telephone PrivacyCordless telephones are radio devices. Communications between thehandset and base of your cordless telephone are accomplished by meansof radio waves which are broadcast over the open airways. Because ofthe inherent physical properties of radio waves, your communicationscan be received by radio receiving devices other than your own cordlesstelephone unit. Consequently, any communications using your cordlesstelephone may not be private.Installation ConsiderationsSelecting a LocationBefore choosing a location for your new phone, there are some impor-tant guidelines you should consider:•The location should be close to both a phone jack and continuouspower outlet. (A continuous power outlet is an AC outlet which doesnot have a switch to interrupt its power.)•Keep the base and handset away from sources of electrical noisesuch as motors or fluorescent lighting.•Be sure there is sufficient space to fully extend the base antenna.•The base can be placed on a desk or tabletop or mounted on a stan-dard telephone wall plate.•You should charge your new phone for 15-20 hours before complet-ing the installation or using the handset.Telephone Line OutletsThere are two types of phone outlets:Modular JackMost phone equipment available now uses modular jacks. Phone cordsare fitted with a molded plastic connector which plugs into this type ofjack. If you do not have modular phone jacks, contact your local tele-phone company for information about their installation.Hardwired JackSome equipment is wired directly to a phone jack, and these types ofinstallations require a modular jack converter. This type of installation isnot difficult; however, you should contact your Uniden telephone dealeror a telephone supply store for advice about the proper adapter or con-verter for your particular situation.Connecting the Telephone CordsConsider 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 tele-phone line has been disconnected.• Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.Applying Power to the BaseThis phone requires an AC outlet, without a switch to interrupt power,and the included AC adapter. To relieve strain on the DC plug when thephone is placed on a desk or table, wrap the power cord around thestrain relief notch on the bottom of the base.NOTE: Place the power cord so that it does not create a triphazard, or where it could become chafed and create a fireor other electrical hazards.Adapter Safety FeaturesIf the AC adapter furnished with this phone has a polarized line plug (aplug having one blade wider than the other), this plug will fit into thepower outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fullyinto the outlet, try reversing the plug.Do not alter the shape of the blades of the polarized plug!NOTE: If you cannot plug the AC adapter into the outlet, con-tact someone about replacing the outlet.Plug the AC Adapter into a standard 120 VAC wall outlet. Do not use an outlet controlled by a wall switch.Use only the Uniden AC Adapter supplied with this phone.One Year Limited WarrantyImportant:Evidence of original purchase is required for warranty ser-vice.WARRANTOR: UNIDEN AMERICA CORPORATION (“Uniden”)ELEMENTS OF WARRANTY: Uniden warrants, for one year, to the originalretail owner, this Uniden Product to be free from defects in materialsand craftsmanship with only the limitations or exclusions set out below.WARRANTY DURATION: This warranty to the original user shall terminateand be of no further effect 12 months after the date of original retailsale.
