Features
W E L CO ME / F E AT URE S
This series features AutoTalk and AutoStandby. AutoTalk allows you to answer a call by just removing the handset from the cradle so you don't have to waste time pushing buttons. AutoStandby allows you to hang up by simply returning the handset to the cradle. To protect you against mis-billed calls that might result from your phone being activated by other equipment, this series has Random Code digital security, which automatically selects one of about 130,000 digital security codes for the handset and base. Digital Spread Spectrum Technology uses a wider frequency band than standard digital transmissions. The result is a more secure conversation with the clarity of digital sound, extended range, and minimal interference from other cordless phones. IntegriSound Built in sound quality which provides life-like conversations. With DirectLink mode, you can use two or more handsets as radio transceiver (walkie-talkies). Be sure to visit our web site: www.uniden.com Uniden is a registered trademark of Uniden America Corporation. AutoTalk, AutoStandby, DirectLink, IntegriSound and Random Code are trademarks of Uniden America. Your phone may be compatible with other Uniden 2.4GHz Digital Expandable System.

A. B. C. D. E. Choose the best location Connect the base unit Install the rechargeable battery pack into the handset Connect the charger Mount the base unit on a wall
If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the 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.
A. Choose the best location
Before choosing a location for your new phone, read "Installation Considerations" on page 85. Here are some important guidelines you should consider:
Avoid heat sources, such as radiators, air ducts, and sunlight Avoid television sets and other electronic equipment Avoid noise sources such as a window by a street with heavy traffic Avoid microwave ovens
Avoid excessive moisture, extremely low temperatures, dust, mechanical vibration, or shock

Avoid personal computers

Choose a central location

Avoid other cordless telephones

GETTING STARTED [10]

B. Connect the base unit
Use only the supplied [AD-800] AC adapter. Do not use any other AC adapter. Do not place the power cord where it creates a trip hazard or where it could become chafed and create a fire or electrical hazard.
1) Connect the handset cord to the left side of the phone and the corded base handset. 2) Connect AC adapter to the DC IN 9V jack and to a standard 120V AC wall outlet. Connect the AC adapter to a continuous power supply (i.e., an outlet that is not controlled by a switch). Place the base unit close to the AC outlet to avoid long extension cords. 3) Connect the telephone line cord to the TEL LINE jack. 4) Set the base on a desk or tabletop. Place the corded base handset on the base. 5) Raise the antenna to a vertical position.
If your telephone outlet isn't modular, contact your telephone company for assistance.

C. Install the rechargeable battery pack into the handset
1) Press down on the handset battery case cover (use the finger indention for a better grip) and slide the cover downward to remove. 2) Plug the battery pack connector (red & black wires) into the jack inside the battery compartment. (The connector notches fit into the grooves of the jack only one way.) 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 sure you have a good connection by slightly pulling on the battery wires. If the connection is secure, the battery jack will remain in place. 4) Place the battery case cover back on the handset and slide it upwards until it clicks into place.

1) Connect the AC adapter to the DC IN 9V jack and to a standard 120V AC wall outlet. 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 and the handset makes good contact with the base charging contacts. 4) Charge the handset battery pack for at least 15-20 hours before using your new cordless handset for the first time.

[13] GETTING STARTED

www.uniden.com GETTING STARTED [14]

Direct wall mounting

If 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 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 anchors) 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 10 on page 14 to mount the telephone.
