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.

Setting up the Phone

Do the following steps:

A. Choose the best location C. Connect the base unit

B. Activate the handset before charging the battery

A. Choose the best location

Before choosing a location for your new phone, read “Installation Considerations” on page 44. 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

Choose a central location

Avoid personal computers

Avoid other cordless telephones

• 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.

• The base can be placed on a desk, tabletop, or mounted on a standard wall plate.

UC393BH (WXI377) OM 5/2/03 4:18 PM Page 9

B. Activate the handset before charging the battery

The handset is powered by a rechargeable battery pack already installed in the handset’s battery compartment. Before charging the battery for the fist time, push the pin for activation, located on the bottom of the handset (see label with instructions). Once activated, remove the label and then place the handset in the base unit to charge.

Make sure to charge for 15-20 hours without interruption (do not plug the telephone cord into the unit and wall jack during charge time). The base unit’s LED light labeled (charge/in

use) illuminates once the handset is placed in the base. The

LED light will illuminate regardless if 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.

www.uniden.com

Use only the Uniden

(BT-909) rechargeable battery pack supplied with your cordless telephone.

• Replacement batteries and/or rubber seals 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

G E T T I N G S T A R T E D [ 9 ]

UC393BH (WXI377) OM 5/2/03 4:18 PM Page 10

Replace the rechargeable handset battery pack

1) Remove the 3 screws holding the battery compartment with a screwdriver and take off the battery cover. Remove the old battery pack in the battery compartment.

• If there is any foreign matter on the rubber seal located on the under side of the battery cover, the handset may not be water resistant.

• The rubber seal should be kept clean and replaced every 2 years to ensure the handset is water resistant even if the seal does not look worn.

Do not place a wet or dirty handset in the base.

2) Plug the replacement battery 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. If the battery connector is not securely connected, the handset will not charge properly.

4) Before placing the battery cover back on the handset, make sure there is no foreign matter under the rubber seal located on the under side. By inserting bottom first, place the battery cover back on the handset and tighten the 3 screws.

[ 10 ] G E T T I N G S T A R T E D

Department. If you have questions regarding installation of battery pack and/or rubber seal, please call our Customer

Hotline at 1-800-297-1023.

Battery use time (per charge)

From fully charged (15-20 hours charge time)

• Up to seven hours continuous use during talk mode

• Up to fourteen days when the handset is in the standby mode

Low battery alert

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.

www.uniden.com

• 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.

C. Connect the base unit

1) Connect the AC adapter to the DC IN 9V jack and to a standard 120V AC wall outlet.

Route the cord.

• The base is not water resistant. Also wipe off a dirty or wet handset before placing in the base.

Use only the supplied AD-0002

AC adapter. Do not use any other

AC adapter.

2) Set the base on a desk or tabletop, and place the handset in the base unit.

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 that the handset is sitting correctly in the base.

• 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 activating the handset, charge your handset at least 15-20 hours before

plugging into the phone line.

• 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.

4) 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.

Direct wall mounting

If you don't have a standard wall plate, you can mount your phone directly to the wall. Before doing this, consider the following:

• Avoid electrical cables, pipes, or other items behind the mounting location that could cause a hazard when inserting screws into the wall.

• Try to mount your phone within 5 feet of a working phone jack to avoid excessive lengths.

• Make sure the wall material is capable of supporting the weight of the base and handset.

• Use #10 screws (minimum length of 1-3/8 inches) with anchoring devices suitable for the wall material where the base unit will be placed.

1) Insert two mounting screws into the wall, (with their appropriate anchoring device), 3-15/16 inches apart.

Allow about 1/8 of an inch between the wall and screw heads for mounting the phone.

2) Refer to steps 1 through 6 on page 13 to mount the telephone.

If the call connects, leave the setting as is, otherwise set for pulse dialing.

• 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 Switch-over” on page 21.)

Make sure your battery pack is fully charged before choosing the dialing mode.

Tone Dialing Switch-over

Some telephone companies use equipment that requires pulse dialing (sometimes referred to as rotary dialing).

If you need to enter tone dialing digits, you can switch-over to tone dialing during the call. For example, entering your bank account number after you have called your bank.

Initially make your call with the pulse dialing mode. Once your call connects, press the * /tone/t key. Enter the desired number. These digits will be sent as tone dialing. Once the call ends, the tone mode is canceled and pulse dialing mode resumes.

Traveling Out-of-Range

During a call, as you begin to move your handset too far from your base unit, noise increases. If you pass the range limits of the base unit, your call will terminate within 5 minutes.

• The tone feature only applies when the dial mode is set to pulse.

• This special number can be stored in a memory location.

This is referred to as Chain Dialing

Many factors limit range, and it would be impossible to include all the variables in our rating.

The Maximum Range rating of this phone is meant to be used as a means of comparison against other range claims.

Telephone Line Problems

The FCC has granted the telephone company the right to disconnect service in the event that your phone causes problems on the telephone line. Also, the telephone company may make changes in facilities and services which may affect the operation of your unit. However, your telephone company must give adequate notice in writing prior to such actions to allow you time for making necessary arrangements to continue uninterrupted service.

If you are having trouble with your telephone service, you must first disconnect your phone to determine if it is the cause of your problem.

If you determine that it is the cause, you must leave it disconnected until the trouble has been corrected.

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. 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.

More Than One Cordless Telephone

If you want to use more than one cordless telephone in your home, they must operate on different channels. Press the channel key to select a channel that provides the clearest communication.

Cordless Telephone Privacy

Cordless telephones are radio devices. Communications between the handset and base of your cordless telephone are accomplished by means of radio waves which are broadcast over the open airways. Because of the inherent physical properties of radio waves, your communications can be received by radio receiving devices other than your own cordless telephone unit. Consequently, any communications using your cordless telephone may not be private.

Installation Considerations

Selecting a Location

Before choosing a location for your new phone, there are some important guidelines you should consider:

[ 44 ]

• The location should be close to both a phone jack and continuous power outlet. (A continuous power outlet is an AC outlet which does not have a switch to interrupt its power.)

• Keep the base and handset away from sources of electrical noise such as motors or fluorescent lighting.

• The base can be placed on a desk or tabletop or mounted on a standard telephone wall plate.

• You should charge your new phone for 15-20 hours before completing the installation or using the handset.

Telephone Line Outlets

There are two types of phone outlets:

Modular Jack

Most phone equipment available now uses modular jacks. Phone cords are fitted with a molded plastic connector which plugs into this type of jack. If you do not have modular phone jacks, contact your local telephone company for information about their installation.

Hardwired Jack

Some equipment is wired directly to a phone jack, and these types of installations require a modular jack converter. This type of installation is not difficult; however, you should contact your Uniden telephone dealer or a telephone supply store for advice about the proper adapter or converter for your particular situation.

Connecting the Telephone Cords

Consider these safety guidelines before connecting the telephone cords:

Caution!

• Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.

• Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected.

• Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.

Applying Power to the Base

This phone requires an AC outlet, without a switch to interrupt power, and the included AC adapter. To relieve strain on the DC plug when the phone is placed on a desk or table, wrap the power cord around the strain relief notch on the back of the base.

NOTE: Place the power cord so that it does not create a trip hazard, or where it could become chafed and create a fire or other electrical hazards.
