PRECAUTIONS & WARRANTY[ 58 ]Telephone Line ProblemsThe FCC has granted the telephone company the right to disconnectservice in the event that your phone causes problems on thetelephone line. Also, the telephone company may make changes infacilities and services which may affect the operation of your unit.However, your telephone company must give adequate notice inwriting prior to such actions to allow you time for making necessaryarrangements to continue 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.If you determine that it is the cause, you must leave it disconnecteduntil the trouble has been corrected.Radio InterferenceRadio interference may occasionally cause buzzing and humming inyour cordless handset, or clicking noises in the base. This interferenceis caused by external sources such as TV, refrigerator, vacuum cleaner,fluorescent lighting, or electrical storm. Your unit is NOT DEFECTIVE. Ifthese noises continue and are too distracting, please check aroundyour home to see what appliances may be causing the problem. Inaddition, we recommend that the base not be plugged into a circuitthat also powers a major appliance because of the potential forinterference. Be certain that the antenna on the unit is fully extendedwhen needed.In the unlikely event that you consistently hear other voices ordistracting transmissions on your phone, you may be receiving radiosignals from another cordless telephone or other source ofinterference. If you cannot eliminate this type of interference, youneed to change to a different channel.Finally, it should be noted that some cordless telephones operate atfrequencies that may cause interference to nearby TVs and VCRs. Tominimize or prevent such interference, the base of the cordlesstelephone should not be placed near or on top of a TV or VCR. Ifinterference is experienced, moving the cordless telephone fartheraway from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference.More than One Cordless TelephoneIf you want to use more than one cordless telephone in your home,they must operate on different channels. Press the channel key toselect a channel that provides the clearest communication.Cordless Telephone PrivacyCordless telephones are radio devices. Communications between thehandset and base of your cordless telephone are accomplished bymeans of radio waves which are broadcast over the open airways.Because of the inherent physical properties of radio waves, yourcommunications can be received by radio receiving devices other thanyour own cordless telephone unit. Consequently, any communicationsusing your cordless telephone may not be private.Installation ConsiderationsSelecting a LocationBefore choosing a location for your new phone, there are someimportant 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 whichdoes not have a switch to interrupt its power.)•Keep the base and handset away from sources of electrical noisesuch as motors or fluorescent lighting.•The base can be placed on a desk or tabletop or mounted on astandard telephone wall plate.•You should charge your new phone for 15-20 hours beforecompleting 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 typeof jack. If you do not have modular phone jacks, contact your local telephone 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 installationis not difficult; however, you should contact your Uniden telephonedealer or a telephone supply store for advice about the proper adapteror converter 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 thetelephone 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 whenthe phone is placed on a desk or table, wrap the power cord aroundthe strain 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.Plug the AC Adapter into a standard 120 VAC wall outlet.
