Installing the Accessory Handset
Checking the Package Contents
Make sure your package contains the following items. If any items are missing or damaged, contact our Customer Service Hotline. See back cover page for contact information.
Cordless Handset Charging Cradle AC Adapter, model # AD-1011 Input: 120V AC 60 Hz Output: 21V DC 100 mA Rechargeable NiMH Battery Pack, model # BT-446 Capacity: 800 mAh, 3.6V Beltclip Printed Material

Activate the handset

The handset is powered by a rechargeable battery pack already installed in the handsets battery compartment. Before charging the battery for the fist time, push the pin for activation, located on the bottom of the handset (see label with instructions). Once activated, remove the label and then place the handset in the charger.
Notes: Use only the Uniden (BT-446) rechargeable battery pack supplied with your cordless telephone. Replacement batteries and/or rubber seals are also available through the Uniden Parts Department at (800) 5543988, Monday thru Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. or online at www.uniden.com. Caution: - Keep magnetic items away from the handset. - Dont place the handset where it will be subjected to direct sunlight for long periods of time.
Charging the Accessory Handset
The handset is powered by a rechargeable battery pack that automatically recharges when the handset is placed in the charger. Unlike your typical household phone chargers, your new waterproof accessory handset uses an enclosed charging method called magnetic inductive charging. This type charger allows us to charge your handset without exposing any electronic components; therefore, making it safer to use around water or in highly humid environments. 1. Connect the AC adapter to the DC IN 21V jack and to a 120V AC outlet that is not controlled by a wall switch.
Caution: Use only the Uniden AD-1011 adapter.
2. Set the charger on a desk or tabletop, and place the handset in the charger with the keypad facing forward. 3. Make sure that the charge LED illuminates. If the LED does not illuminate, check to see that the AC adapter is plugged in. 4. Charge the handset battery pack for at least 25 hours before using your new handset for the first time.
Notes: The charger is not water submersible. Wipe off dirt or shake water from handset before placing in the base. Due to the enclosed type of magnetic inductive charging used with this model, it will be normal for the bottom of the handset to be warmer than room temperature when you first remove it from the charging cradle. However, the warmth should not be excessive or uncomfortable to touch.

Registering the Handset

You must register the handset to the base before you can use it. Only one handset can be registered at a time. (If an accessory handset has previously been registered to a base, you must reset the handset before you can register it to a new base.) 1.

Match the wire colors to the polarity label in the battery compartment, connect the battery and listen for a click to insure connection. 3. Make certain you have made a good connection by slightly pulling on the battery wires. If the battery connector is not securely connected, the handset will not charge properly. 4. Before placing the battery cover back on the handset, make sure there is no foreign matter under the rubber seal located on the under side.

If the rubber seal appears warn, nicked, or dried out, replacement seals are available through the Uniden Parts Department. If you have questions regarding the installation of the battery pack and/or rubber seal, please call our Customer Service Hotline at 1-800297-1023.

Rubber Seal

Notes: If there is any foreign matter on the rubber seal located on the under side of the battery cover, the handset may not be water resistant. The rubber seal should be kept clean and replaced every 2 years to ensure the handset is water resistant even if the seal does not look worn. Do not place an excessively dirty handset in the base. Shake excess water from handset prior to placing back in the charging cradle.
