Install the rechargeable battery pack into the handsetC. Connect the base unit and charge the handsetD. Mount the base unit on a wallE. Choose the dialing modeA. Choose the best locationWhen choosing a location for your new phone, here are some important guidelines you should consider:Avoid noise sources such as a window by a street with heavy traffi cAvoid microwave ovensAvoid excessive moisture, extremely low temperatures, dust, mechanical vibration,or shockAvoid personal computersAvoid other cordless telephonesAvoid heat sources, such asradiators, air ducts, and sunlightAvoid television sets and other electronic equipmentChoose 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 fl uorescent 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.UP094BH.indd 2UP094BH.indd 29/28/2006 10:46:26 AM9/28/2006 10:46:26 AM](https://usermanual.wiki/Uniden-America/UP094R/User-Guide-725982-Page-3.png)
![4Talk and Standby TimesWith average use, your handset battery provides approximately 6 hours of talk time and approximately 7 days of standby time. When your handset is not being used and is left off of their charging cradle, the battery will gradually discharge. You can achieve optimum battery life and performance by returning the handset to the charging cradle after each use. If the handset is left off of the charging cradle, the actual talk time duration will be reduced respective to the amount of time the handset is off of the charging cradle.D. Mount the base unit on a wallStandard wall plate mountingThis phone can be mounted on any standard wall plate.1) Plug the AC adapter to the DC IN 9V jack.2) Plug the AC adapter into a standard 120V AC wall outlet.3) Plug the telephone line cord into the TEL LINEjack.4) Route the telephone line cord through the groove as shown.5) Plug the telephone line cord into the telephone outlet.6) Align the mounting slots on the base with the mounting posts on the wall. Then push in and down until the phone is fi rmly seated.Direct wall mountingIf 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 5 feet of a working phone jack to avoid excessive cord lengths.• Make sure the wall material is capable of supporting the weight of the base and handset.• Use #10 screws (minimum length of 1-3/8 inches) with anchoring devices suitable for the wall material where the base unit will be placed.1) Insert two mounting screws into the wall, (with their appropriate anchoring device), 3-15/16 inches apart. Allow about 1/8 of an inch between the wall and screw heads for mounting the phone.2) Refer to steps 1 through 5 above to mount the telephone.E. Choose the dialing modeMost phone systems use tone dialing. However, some phone systems (such as in rural areas) still use pulse dialing. Your Uniden phone supports both tone and pulse dialing. The default setting is tone dialing. If your phone system uses pulse dialing, follow the steps below to change the dialing mode:1) In standby, press and hold [fl ash] until you hear a confi rmation tone.2) Press [#] to set your phone for pulse dialing. You will hear a confi rmation tone. If you need to reset your phone to tone dialing, press and hold [fl ash] until you hear the confi rmation tone. Then press [/tone] to restore the tone setting.NOTE:• Make sure your battery pack is fully charged before choosing the dial mode.• If you are not sure of your dialing system, make a trial call. If the call connects, leave the setting at tone dialing. Otherwise, set for pulse dialing.

You can store any number (up to 20 digits) that you need to enter once your call connects. This is referred to as Chain Dialing. An example is a frequently refi lled prescription number. Store your pharmacy phone number in one speed dial and your most frequently refi lled prescription number as another speed dial.

In the rare situation that you suspect another cordless telephone is using the same security code, you can change the code.1) Pick up the handset from the base unit. Press and hold [fi nd] on the base.2) While holding [fi nd], place the handset in the base unit. Leave the handset in the base for more than three seconds. A new random security code is set.NOTE: If the handset battery pack is completely discharged or the battery pack is removed, the digital security code will be lost. If this happens, a new security code is set automatically next time the battery pack is charged.Operational FrequencyFrequency 924.516925 – 926.704425 MHz 2,405.155942 – 2,411.718441 MHzUP094BH.indd 7UP094BH.indd 79/28/2006 10:46:28 AM9/28/2006 10:46:28 AM](https://usermanual.wiki/Uniden-America/UP094R/User-Guide-725982-Page-8.png)
