Installing Your Expansion Handset
Follow these three easy steps to get your new handset ready to use:
Install the battery pack. Connect the charger and charge your new handset for 15-20 hours. Register your new handset to the main base. Press down on the handset battery case cover (use the finger indention for a better grip) and slide the cover downward to remove. 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, and push the connector in until you hear a click. 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. Place the battery case cover back on the handset by sliding it upwards until it clicks into place. Place the handset in the charging cradle with the keypad facing forward. Use only the Uniden battery (BT-446) supplied with your phone. Replacement batteries are also available through the Uniden Parts Department. (See page 2.) Recharge your handset on a regular basis by returning the handset to the charger after each phone call.
Step 1: Install the Battery Pack

Step 2: Connect the Charger
Connect the AC adapter to the DC IN 9V jack and to a standard 120V AC wall outlet. Set the charger on a desk or tabletop, and place the handset in the charger with the keypad facing forward. Make sure the charge LED illuminates. If the LED does not illuminate, check to see that the AC adapter is plugged in and that the handset makes good contact with the charger charging contacts. Use only the supplied AD-0005 AC adapter. Do not use any other AC adapter. Place the charger close to the AC outlet so that you can unplug the AC adapter easily.
Charge the handset for 15-20 hours before using.

Step 3: Register the Handset
YOU NEED TO REGISTER THE TCX860 TO THE MAIN BASE BEFORE USE!
Be sure the handset battery is fully charged. With the main base in standby mode (i.e., not being used), place the expansion handset in the main base to begin registration. While the handset is registering, Ha nd s et R eg i st e ri n g will appear in the handset LCD. When R eg i st r at i on Co mp l et e is displayed, the handset has been registered to the base. If R eg is t ra t io n F a il ed appears, please try these steps again.

Battery Information

Low battery alert
When the batteries are very low and need to be charged, the phone is programmed to eliminate functions in order to save power. The batteries need to be charged when: - The empty battery icon appears. - L ow B a tt e ry appears in the display. If the phone is in standby mode, none of the keys will operate. If you are on a call, complete your conversation as quickly as possible, and return the handset to the charging cradle.
Cleaning the battery charging contacts
To maintain a good charge, it is important to clean the charging contacts on the handset once a month. Using water only, dampen a cloth to clean the charging contacts. Then make sure to go back over the charging contacts with a dry cloth before returning the handset to the charger to charge. 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.
