Setting up
Follow these simple steps to prepare your
phone for use.
Finding a location
• 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 handset should be kept away
from sources of electrical noise such as motors,
microwave ovens, and fluorescent lighting.
• For better reception, place the base as high as
possible.
• The base should be placed in an open area for
optimum range and reception.
• If your home has wired alarm equipment
connected to a phone line, be sure that
installing the system does not disable your
alarm equipment. If you have questions about
what will disable alarm equipment, contact your
telephone company or a qualified installer.
Connecting your phone
1 Connect the base power supply to the back of
the base. Plug the other end into the wall
electrical outlet.
WARNING
Use only the power supply that came with your
phone.
Using another power supply could seriously
damage your phone and invalidate your
warranty.
Do not connect the telephone line cord until
your handset is fully charged. This will prevent
the risk of the phone being answered before the
battery pack is charged. Answering the phone
before the battery pack is fully charged may
prevent them from reaching their optimum
capacity.
2 If you have purchased a model containing
multiple handsets and chargers, connect each
charger's power supply to the charger base and
plug into a wall electrical outlet.

Preparing the handsets
Installing and charging the handset battery pack
1On each handset:
Remove the battery compartment cover.
Press down on the semi-circle indent and slide
the cover off.
Connect the supplied battery pack with the
correct polarity.
Slide the battery cover back until it clicks
securely into place.
2 To charge the battery, place the handset(s) on
the base or on a charger. The charging light in
the base illuminates. While charging, the
symbol scrolls and when the handset is fully
charged, all the bars of the battery symbol will
be filled when the phone is off the cradle.
If the charging light does not come on, reposition
the handset in the base or charger, ensuring that
the charging points contact. You must charge
each handset for 15-20 hours before use.
NOTE: Once your handset is fully charged, your
phone is designed for the base charge
LED to turn off for approximately 4
seconds during the following instances:
1)just after reaching a full charge
2)1 minute after reaching a full charge
3)every 5 minutes after reaching a full charge
To alleviate the charge LED from blinking on the
base, you can simply remove the handset from
the charging cradle.
You may also select to leave the handset in the
cradle, which will not damage the unit. Once fully
charged, you may notice the charge LED light will
turn for 4 seconds every 5 minutes. This is normal
operation and does not mean your unit is
defective.
WARNING
Under no circumstances should non-
rechargeable batteries be used. Only use the
supplied battery pack or you will invalidate your
guarantee and may damage the telephone.
UC504DH(DECT160-2) OM 8/17/06 3:37 PM Page 5

BATTERY LOW WARNING
If the symbol is displayed on the handset,
CHARGE BATTERY appears and you hear the
low battery tone, you will need to recharge your
handset.
For optimum performance, be sure to return the
handset to the cradle after each call. If the
handset is left off of the base, the actual talk
time duration will be reduced respective to the
amount of time the handset is off the cradle.
Battery Performance
The handset may become warm during charging,
this is normal. On a single charge your handset
will give 16 hours talk time and 7 days standby
time.
Over time, as the batteries wear out, the charge
capacity will reduce, therefore, reducing the
talk/standby time of the handset.
Eventually the battery pack will need to be
replaced.
Setting the date and time
The phone uses the 24 hour clock.
In standby:
1 Press .
2 Press or until
Time & Alarm is
displayed and press .
3 Press or until
Set Date&Time is
displayed and press .
4 Enter Day, Month, and Year using the keypad,
e.g. 030605 for 3rd June 2005, and
press .
5 Enter Hour and Minute using the keypad, and
press .
6 Press to return to standby.
Connecting the telephone line cord
1 Connect the telephone line cord into the TEL
LINE jack on the back of the base.
Plug the other end into the telephone outlet.
Setting up your phone is complete.
Now you can make and receive calls.
