Installing the Phone Choosing the Best Location When choosing a location for your new phone, here are some important guidelines you should consider: <<add pix here>> • 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, microwave ovens, and fluorescent lighting. • For better reception, place the base as high as possible. • The base should be placed in an open area for optimum range and reception. • If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to a phone line, be sure that installing the system does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment, contact your telephone company or a qualified installer. Note: For maximum range: • Keep the antenna free of obstruction. • When the handset is not in use, place the handset in an upright position. • Do not hold the handset where you would block the signal. <<Insert picture like TRU8885 OM, page 9>> • Metal and reinforced concrete may affect cordless telephone performance.

Gently rub the damp cloth over the charging contacts until all visible dirt is removed. Dry the contacts thoroughly before returning the handset to the charging cradle. Caution: Do not use paint thinner, benzene, alcohol, or other chemical products. Doing so may discolor the surface of the telephone and damage the finish. Warning To avoid the risk of personal injury or property damage from fire or electrical shock, use only Uniden AD-800 (9V 350mA) AC adapter and Uniden BT-446 battery pack with your phone. Caution: • Use only the specified Uniden battery pack BT-446. • Do not remove the batteries from the handset to charge them. • Never throw the battery into a fire, disassemble, or heat them. • Do not remove or damage the battery casing. • A replacement Uniden adapter or battery may be purchased by calling Uniden's Parts department (see back cover page).

Troubleshooting Resetting the Handset You may need to reset your handset in the following instances: • You lose a handset and purchase a new one. When you try and register to your existing base you get registration failure. • You are unable to register any handsets to the base. • You had a base which needed to be exchanged by the manufacturer. When you register your existing handsets to the base, the handsets say #3 and #4, but you only have 2 handsets. • When you are instructed to by the one of the manufacturer’s call center representatives. To reset, do the following: 1) Press and hold [ ] and [#] for more than 5 seconds. Select DEREGISTER HS. 2) The phone will ask you to confirm the deregistration. Select YES. 3) The handset will clear its registration information from the base, and then delete its own base information. The handset MUST be placed in base to register! Models may vary; refer to Owners Manual for help. To re-register the handset to the base (see page xx). If the handset cannot contact the base, it will display OUT OF RANGE. Make sure the handset is in range of the base and the base is connected to power. Note: It is also possible to reset the handset back to its original factory settings. All changes including Caller ID information will be erased. For more information on resetting the handset back to factory settings and when you need to do this, see www.uniden.com or call our Customer Service Hotline (see back cover page for contact information). Resetting the Handset without the Base If your original base is not available for some reason (for example, it is lost or somehow incapacitated), you can still reset the handset and use it with another base. <<LCD DISPLAY FIGURE>> 1) Press and hold [ ] and [#] on the handset for more than 5 seconds. 2) Move the cursor to select the BASE UNAVAILABLE and then press the OK soft key. BASE UNAVAILABLE appears. 3) Move the cursor to select YES, and then press the OK soft key. You will hear a confirmation tone. The handset will delete its own base information without trying to contact the base. When the base information is deleted, the handset displays MODELS VARY! PLACE HANDSET ON THE BASE FOR REGISTRATION OR REFER TO OWNER’S MANUAL. Register the handset to the new base (see page xx). Changing the Digital Security Code The digital security code is an identification code used to connect the handset and the base. Your unit ships from the manufacturer with a preset security code. Resetting this code is not normally necessary. In the rare situation that you suspect another cordless telephone is using the same security code or if you are instructed to change this code by a manufacturer’s Call Center Representative, you can change the code by: 1. Perform “Resetting the Handset” for all of your handsets. 2. Re-register each handset by following the steps on page xx. Traveling Out of Range During a call, if you move your handset too far away from your base, noise may increase. If you pass the range limits of the base, you will hear a beep and see out of Range on the display, and then the handset returns to standby. You may return to the call if you move your handset within the range limits of the base and press [ / flash] or [ ] within 30 seconds.
