Choose the Best Location When choosing a location for your new phone, here are some important guidelines you should consider: · There should be enough space to fully extend the antenna. Avoid heat sources, such as radiators, air ducts, and sunlight Avoid television sets and other electronic equipment Choose a central location 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 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. · 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 the handset should be kept away from sources of electrical noise such as motors, microwave ovens, and fluorescent lighting. · The base can be placed on a desk, tabletop, or mounted on a standard wall plate. www.uniden.com G E T T I N G S TA RT E D 7 B. Connect the Base Unit and Charge the Handset 1) Connect the AC adapter to the DC in 9V jack and to a standard 120V AC wall outlet. · Use only the supplied AD-314 AC adapter. Do not use any other AC adapter. · Do not place the power cord where it creates a trip hazard or where it could become chafed and create a fire or electrical hazard. · 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. AC adapter (supplied) To AC outlet To DC in 9V 2) Place the handset in the base unit. The rechargeable battery is already installed in your phone. 3) 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. 4) 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. 8 G E T T I N G S TA RT E D www.uniden.com G E T T I N G S TA R T E D 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 you do not get a dial tone, check the following: · Be sure the telephone cord is securely connected to both the base and an active telephone jack. · Be sure the charge LED is on. If not, check the AC adapter. · Be sure the handset is fully charged. · Be sure the battery is installed correctly. · Check the dialing mode your telephone company uses. If your telephone company uses pulse dialing, set your phone to pulse dialing. (see page 10.) www.uniden.com G E T T I N G S TA RT E D 9 C. Choose the Dialing Mode Most phone systems use tone dialing which sends DTMF tones through the phone lines. However, some phone systems (such as those in rural areas) still use pulse dialing. The default setting is tone dialing. Depending on your dialing system, set the mode as follows: · Make sure your battery pack is fully charged before choosing the dialing mode. · If your phone system requires pulse dialing and you need to send the DTMF tones for certain situations during a call, you may switch over to tone dialing. (Refer to "Tone Dialing Switchover" on page 19.) Place the switch in the tone position for tone dialing, or the pulse position for pulse dialing. If you are not sure of your dialing system, set for tone dialing. Make a trial call. If the call connects, leave the setting as is. Otherwise set for pulse dialing. D. Set the Visual Ringer Brightness The visual ringer switch allows you to set the brightness of the visual ringer LED on the base. There are three options to choose from: high, low and off. If you set the switch to off, visual ringer LED never flashes. 10 G E T T I N G S TA RT E D www.uniden.com G E T T I N G S TA R T E D E.
