GETTING STARTED

Setting up the Phone
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.
A. Choose the best location
When choosing a location for your new phone, here are some important guidelines you should consider:

Correct

Incorrect
Metal and reinforced concrete may affect cordless telephone performance.
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 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.

[9] GETTING STARTED

B. Install the rechargeable battery pack into the handset
The handset is powered by a rechargeable battery pack. The battery recharges automatically when the handset is placed in the base unit. To maximize the charge capacity of your battery pack, DO NOT plug the telephone cord into the base unit and wall jack until the battery is fully charged.
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) Turn the battery pack so that the connector with the red and black wires is near the jack inside the battery compartment. Match the connector's wire colors to the polarity label in the battery compartment (the connector notches fit into the grooves of the jack only one way). Push the battery pack connector into the jack until it clicks into place. 3) Make sure you have a good connection by gently 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.

Use only the Uniden (BT-446) rechargeable battery pack supplied with your cordless telephone. The battery may be purchased by calling Uniden's Parts Department (see back cover page).

GETTING STARTED [10]

C. Connect the base unit
Use only the supplied [AD-800] AC adapter. Do not use any other AC adapter. Place the power cord so that it does not create a trip hazard or where it could become chafed and create a fire or electrical hazard.
1) Connect the 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). 2) Set the base on a desk or tabletop, and place the handset in the base unit. Place the base unit close to the AC outlet so that you can unplug the AC adapter easily. 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) After install the battery pack in the handset, charge your handset for at least 15-20 hours before plugging into the phone line. 5) Once the handset battery pack is fully charged, connect the telephone line cord to the TEL LINE jack and to a telephone outlet.
If your telephone outlet isn't modular, contact your telephone company for assistance.

[11] GETTING STARTED

Mounting the Base Unit on a Wall
Standard wall plate mounting
This phone can be mounted on any standard wall plate. 1) Make the AC adapter and the telephone line cord through the hole on the wall mount adapter. 2) Plug the AC adapter into the DC IN 9V jack. 3) Plug the telephone line cord into the TEL LINE jack. 4) Slide the wall mount adapter into the notches on the base. 5) Plug the AC adapter into a standard 120V AC wall outlet. Hook the cord on the notch of the wall mount adapter. 6) Plug the telephone line cord into the telephone outlet.

To remove, push up a tab on the wall mount adapter as shown.

GETTING STARTED [12]

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 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 7 on page 12 to mount the telephone.

PRECAUTIONS & WAR R A N T Y
Rechargeable Nickel-Metal-Hydride Batteries Must Be Recycled or Disposed of Properly
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance. Uniden works to reduce lead content in our PVC coated cords in our products and accessories. Warning! The cords on this product and/or accessories contain lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

Radio Interference

Radio interference may occasionally cause buzzing and humming in your cordless handset, or clicking noises in the base. This interference is caused by external sources such as TV, refrigerator, vacuum cleaner, fluorescent lighting, or electrical storm. Your unit is NOT DEFECTIVE. If these noises continue and are too distracting, please check around your home to see what appliances may be causing the problem. In addition, we recommend that the base not be plugged into a circuit that also powers a major appliance because of the potential for interference. Be certain that the antenna on the unit is fully extended when needed. In the unlikely event that you consistently hear other voices or distracting transmissions on your phone, you may be receiving radio signals from another cordless telephone or other source of interference. If you cannot eliminate this type of interference, you need to change to a different channel.
Important Safety Instructions
When using your telephone equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to persons, including the following: 1. Do not use this product near water, for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement or near a swimming pool. 2. Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning. 3. Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
[63] PRECAUTIONS & WARRANTY

Radio Interference

Radio interference may occasionally cause buzzing and humming in your cordless handset, or clicking noises in the base. This interference is caused by external sources such as TV, refrigerator, vacuum cleaner, fluorescent lighting, or electrical storm. Your unit is NOT DEFECTIVE. If these noises continue and are too distracting, please check around your home to see what appliances may be causing the problem. In addition, we recommend that the base not be plugged into a circuit that also powers a major appliance because of the potential for interference. Be certain that the antenna on the unit is fully extended when needed. In the unlikely event that you consistently hear other voices or distracting transmissions on your phone, you may be receiving radio signals from another cordless telephone or other source of interference. If you cannot eliminate this type of interference, you need to change to a different channel. Finally, it should be noted that some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause interference to nearby TVs and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference, the base of the cordless telephone should not be placed near or on top of a TV or VCR. If interference is experienced, moving the cordless telephone farther away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference.

Telephone Line Outlets

There are two types of phone outlets: Modular Jack Most phone equipment available now uses modular jacks. Phone cords are fitted with a molded plastic connector which plugs into this type of jack. If you do not have modular phone jacks, contact your local telephone company for information about their installation. Hardwired Jack Some equipment is wired directly to a phone jack, and these types of installations require a modular jack converter. This type of installation is not difficult; however, you should contact your Uniden telephone dealer or a telephone supply store for advice about the proper adapter or converter for your particular situation.
PRECAUTIONS & WARRANTY
Connecting the Telephone Cords
Consider 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 the telephone line has been disconnected. Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
More than One Cordless Telephone
If you want to use more than one cordless telephone in your home, they must operate on different channels. Press the channel key to select a channel that provides the clearest communication.
Applying Power to the Base
This phone requires an AC outlet, without a switch to interrupt power, and the included AC adapter. To relieve strain on the DC plug when the phone is placed on a desk or table, wrap the power cord around the strain relief notch on the bottom of the base. NOTE: Place the power cord so that it does not create a trip hazard, or where it could become chafed and create a fire or other electrical hazards.

Cordless Telephone Privacy
Cordless telephones are radio devices. Communications between the handset and base of your cordless telephone are accomplished by means of radio waves which are broadcast over the open airways. Because of the inherent physical properties of radio waves, your communications can be received by radio receiving devices other than your own cordless telephone unit. Consequently, any communications using your cordless telephone may not be private.
