Installing the Phone
Do the following steps:
A. Choose the best location
B. Install the rechargeable battery packs into both handsets
C. Connect the main base unit and charging cradle
A. Choose the best location
When choosing a location for your new phone, here are some important guidelines
you should consider:
•The location should be close to both a phone jack and a continuous power outlet
(one which is not connected to a switch).
•The handsets and the main base 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.
Avoid excessive moisture,
extremely low temperatures,
dust, mechanical vibration,
or shock
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 personal computers
Avoid other cordless telephones
Choose a central location
GETTING STARTED
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.

B. Install the rechargeable battery packs into both handsets
Both handsets are powered by a rechargeable battery packs.
The battery recharges automatically when the handset is
placed in the main base unit or charging cradle.
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
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 sure you have a good connection by slightly pulling on
the battery wires. If the connection is secure, the battery
jack will remain in place.
• For optimum
performance use only
the Uniden BT-800
rechargeable battery
pack supplied with
your phone.
4) Place the battery case cover back on the handset by sliding
it upwards until it clicks into place.
• Replacement batteries
are also available
through the Uniden
Parts Department at
[phone],
Monday through Friday

p.m. or online at

The last number dialed in the redial memory, the Menu display options, the names and
the numbers stored in the memory locations or CID list are retained for up to 30 minutes
while you replace the battery pack.
Low battery alert
When the battery pack is very low and needs to be charged,
the phone is programmed to eliminate functions in order to
save power. If the phone is not in use, Low Battery flashes
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 call as quickly as possible and return the
handset to either cradle for charging.
• 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 either cradle after
a telephone call.
Cleaning the battery charging contacts
To maintain a good charge, it is important to clean the
charging contacts on the handsets, main base unit and
charging cradle once a month. Using water only, dampen
a cloth to clean the charging contacts. Then make sure
to go back over the charging contacts with a dry cloth
before returning the handsets to the main base unit or
charging cradle to charge.
Do not use paint thinner, benzene, alcohol, or other chemical products.
Doing so may discolor the surface of the telephone and damage the finish.
•Talk Mode -
The handset is off either
cradle and the talk/flash
key has been pressed,
enabling a dial tone.
•Standby Mode -
The handset may be sitting
in or off either charging
cradle but is NOT in use.
The talk/flash key has not
been pressed and there is
no dial tone.

GETTING STARTED[ 10 ] www.uniden.com
Use only the supplied AD-
314 AC adapter for the
main base and AD-310 for
the charging cradle. Do
not use any other AC
adapter.
C. Connect the main base unit and charging cradle
1) Connect each AC adapter to the DC IN 9V
jack and to each standard 120V AC wall
outlet.
2) Place one handset in the main base unit
and the other in the charging cradle.
3) Make sure that the charge/in use and
charge LED illuminate. If the LED does
not illuminate, check to see that the AC
adapter is plugged in and that the
handset makes good contact with the
cradle’s charging contacts.
4) Place the handset in the main base unit and one
handset in the charging cradle for 15-20 hours without
interruption. The main base or charging cradle unit’s
LED light (labeled charge/in use or charge)
illuminates once the handset is placed in the main
base or charging cradle. The LED light will illuminate
whether the battery pack is connected or not.
