[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 certain you have made a good connection by slightly pulling on the battery wires to insure that there is a secure connection. If the battery connector is not securely connected, the handset will not charge properly. www.uniden.com G E T T I N G S TA R T E D [9] · Use only the Uniden (BT-905) rechargeable battery pack supplied with your cordless telephone. · 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 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/voicemail) illuminates once the handset is placed in the base. The LED light will illuminate regardless if the battery pack is connected or not. DO NOT rely on the LED light as an indicator that the battery pack is connected and the handset is charging! If the base charge/in use/voicemail 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.

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, as well as, the names and the numbers stored in the memory locations are retained for up to 30 minutes while you replace the battery pack. · 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 talk/flash has been pressed enabling a dial tone. · Standby Mode The handset is not in use, off the base and talk/flash has not been pressed.
