Finding a location · 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 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. Connecting your phone 1 Connect the base power supply to the back of the base. Plug the other end into the wall electrical outlet. WARNING Use only the power supply that came with your phone. Using another power supply could seriously damage your phone and invalidate your warranty. Do not connect the telephone line cord until your handset is fully charged. This will prevent the risk of the phone being answered before the battery pack is charged. Answering the phone before the battery pack is fully charged may prevent them from reaching their optimum capacity. 2 If you have purchased a model containing multiple handsets and chargers, connect each charger's power supply to the charger base and plug into a wall electrical outlet. [4] Preparing the handsets Installing and charging the handset battery pack 1 On each handset: Remove the battery compartment cover. Press down on the semi-circle indent and slide the cover off. Connect the supplied battery pack with the correct polarity. Slide the battery cover back until it clicks securely into place. 2 To charge the battery, place the handset(s) on the base or on a charger. The charging light in the base illuminates. While charging, the symbol scrolls and when the handset is fully charged, all the bars of the battery symbol will be filled when the phone is off the cradle. If the charging light does not come on, reposition the handset in the base or charger, ensuring that the charging points contact. You must charge each handset for 15-20 hours before use. NOTE: Once your handset is fully charged, your phone is designed for the base charge LED to turn off for approximately 4 seconds during the following instances: 1) just after reaching a full charge 2) 1 minute after reaching a full charge 3) every 5 minutes after reaching a full charge To alleviate the charge LED from blinking on the base, you can simply remove the handset from the charging cradle. You may also select to leave the handset in the cradle, which will not damage the unit. Once fully charged, you may notice the charge LED light will turn for 4 seconds every 5 minutes. This is normal operation and does not mean your unit is defective. WARNING Under no circumstances should nonrechargeable batteries be used. Only use the supplied battery pack or you will invalidate your guarantee and may damage the telephone. [5] BATTERY LOW WARNING If the symbol is displayed on the handset, CHARGE BATTERY appears and you hear the low battery tone, you will need to recharge your handset. For optimum performance, be sure to return the handset to the cradle after each call. If the handset is left off of the base, the actual talk time duration will be reduced respective to the amount of time the handset is off the cradle. Battery Performance The handset may become warm during charging, this is normal. On a single charge your handset will give 16 hours talk time and 7 days standby time. Over time, as the batteries wear out, the charge capacity will reduce, therefore, reducing the talk/standby time of the handset. Eventually the battery pack will need to be replaced.

[47] The FCC Wants You To Know This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the ACTA. On the bottom of this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, a product identifier in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this number must be provided to the telephone company. An applicable Universal Service Order Codes (USOC) certification for the jacks used in this equipment is provided (i.e., RJ11 C) in the packaging with each piece of approved terminal equipment. A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA. A compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this product. It is designed to be connected to a compatible modular jack that is also compliant. See installation instructions for details. The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the telephone provider. For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is part of the product identifier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3). For earlier products, the REN is separately shown on the label. If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. But if advance notice isn't practical, the telephone company will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC if you believe it is necessary. The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations or procedures that could affect the operation of the equipment.

[48] NOTICE: According to telephone company reports, AC electrical surges, typically resulting from lightning strikes, are very destructive to telephone equipment connected to AC power sources. To minimize damage from these types of surges, a surge arrestor is recommended. Changes or modifications to this product not expressly approved by Uniden, or operation of this product in any way other than as detailed by the owner's manual, could void your authority to operate this product. This device complies with part 1 5 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Privacy of communications may not be ensured when using this phone. To insure the safety of users, the FCC has established criteria for the amount of radio frequency energy various products may produce depending on their intended usage. This product has been tested and found to comply with the FCC's exposure criteria. The antenna(s) used for the base-unit must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be collocated or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. 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. [49]
