Choose the best location C. Connect the base unit B. Install the rechargeable battery pack into the handset If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, be sure that installing the system does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable your alarm equipment, contact your telephone company or a qualified installer. A. Choose the best location Before choosing a location for your new phone, read the INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS included in the PRECAUTIONS. 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 Avoid other cordless telephones Choose a central location · The location should be close to both a phone jack and a continuous power outlet which is not switchable. · Keep the base and handset away from sources of electrical noise such as motors, microwave ovens, and fluorescent lighting. · Be sure there is sufficient space to raise the base antenna to a vertical position. · The base can be placed on a desk, tabletop, or mounted on a standard wall plate. [8] G E T T I N G S TA R T E D www.uniden.com G E T T I N G S TA R T E D 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. Charge the handset battery pack for at least 15-20 hours before using your new cordless telephone for the first time! 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) Plug the battery pack connector (red & black wires) into the small, black 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. Use only the Uniden (BT-905) rechargeable battery pack supplied with your cordless telephone. www.uniden.com G E T T I N G S TA R T E D [9] 4) Place the battery case cover back on the handset by sliding it upwards until it clicks into place. 5) Place the handset in the base unit for 15-20 hours without interruption. The base unit's LED light (labeled charge/in use) illuminates once the handset is placed in the base. The LED light will illuminate whether the battery pack is connected or not. If the base charge/in use LED light does not illuminate: · Check to see if the AC adapter is plugged into the base unit and the electrical wall outlet properly. (Use only the supplied AC adapter. Do not use any other AC adapter.) · Check to see if the handset is sitting correctly in the base and making good contact with the base unit's charging contacts. Replacement batteries are also available through the Uniden Parts Department at (800) 554-3988, Monday thru Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. or online at www.uniden.com [ 10 ] G E T T I N G S TA R T E D www.uniden.com G E T T I N G S TA R T E D Low battery alert When the battery pack is very low and needs to be charged, the phone is programmed to eliminate functions in order to save power. If the phone is not in use, ¨Low Battery¨ appears on the LCD and none of the keys will operate. If the phone is in use, ¨Low Battery¨ flashes and the handset beeps. Complete your conversation as quickly as possible and return the handset to the base unit for charging. The last number dialed in the redial memory, and the numbers stored in the memory locations are retained for up to 30 minutes while you replace the battery pack. Cleaning the battery charging contacts To maintain a good charge, it is important to clean the charging contacts on both the handset and the base unit 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 base 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. · Even when the battery pack is not being used, it will gradually discharge over a long period of time. For optimum performance, be sure to return the handset to the base unit after a telephone call. · Talk Mode The handset is off the base and the talk/flash key has been pressed, enabling a dial tone. · Standby Mode The handset is not in use, off the base, and the talk/flash key has not been pressed. A dial tone is not present. G E T T I N G S TA R T E D [ 11 ] www.uniden.com C. Connect the base unit 1) Connect the AC adapter to the DC IN 9V jack and to a standard 120V AC wall outlet. · Use only the supplied AD-0001 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. Route the cord. 2) Set the base on a desk or tabletop, and place the handset in the base unit. 3) Raise the antenna to a vertical position. 4) Make sure that the charge/in use 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. · Connect the AC adapter to a continuous power supply. · Place the base unit close to the AC outlet so that you can unplug the AC adapter easily. · After installing the battery pack in the handset, charge your handset 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.
