Technical Information

nttss yyo u tto no w!!

Changes or modif ications 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. The equipment cannot be used on public coin phone service provided by the telephone company. Connection to party line service is subject to state tarif fs. (Contact the state public utility commission, public service commission or corporation commission for information.)

Below is some information that might concern you while using your new phone.

Raan gee

Your new phone is designed to achieve the maximum possible range by transmitting and receiving according to the highest specif ications set forth by the FCC. We have rated this phone to operate at a maximum distance with the qualif ication that the range depends upon the environment in which the telephone is used. 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.

[ 56 ] A D D I T I O N A L I N F O R M AT I O N

TTeelleep ho Prro mss

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 af fect 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 f irst 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 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 T V, 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

UC772EZ ENG(24-148) 10/9/01 15:28 Page 57 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 inter ference. If you cannot eliminate this type of inter ference, you need to change to a dif ferent channel.

Finally, it should be noted that some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause inter ference to nearby T Vs and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such inter ference, the base of the cordless telephone should not be placed near or on top of a T V or VCR. If inter ference is experienced, moving the cordless telephone far ther away from the T V or VCR will of ten reduce or eliminate the inter ference.

ph nee

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

ph on

Cordless telephones are radio devices.

Communications between the handset and base of your cordless telephone are accomplished by means of radio waves which are broadcasted 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.

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

• 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.

• Be sure there is sufficient space to fully extend the base antenna.

• 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.

TTeelleep ho nee O uttlleettss

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.

CCo nn hee TTeelleep ho

Consider these safety guidelines before connecting the telephone cords: uttiio n!!

• 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.

A pp g P weerr tto hee B

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 bottom 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.

A daap

If you cannot plug the AC adapter into the outlet, contact someone about replacing the outlet.

Plug the AC Adapter into a standard 120 VAC wall outlet.

Do not use an outlet controlled by a wall switch.

Use only the Uniden AC Adapter supplied with this phone.
