3) Installing the Phone
Choosing the Best Location
Before choosing a location for your new phone, here are some important
guidelines you should consider:
Avoid television sets and
other electronic equipment
Choose a
central location
Avoid microwave ovens
Avoid excessive
moisture, extremely
low temperatures, dust,
mechanical vibration,
or shock
Avoid
personal computers
Avoid other
cordless telephones
Avoid heat sources, such as
radiators, air ducts, and sunlight
Avoid noise sources such as a
window by a street with heavy traffic
Choose a location close to both a phone jack and a continuous power
outlet (one which is not connected to a switch).
Keep the base and handsets away from sources of electrical noise such as
motors, microwave ovens, and uorescent lighting.
For better reception, place the base as high as possible. You can place the
base on a desk or table top or mount it on the wall.
Place the base in an open area for optimum range and reception.
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 qualied installer.
Installing the Battery
Note: Use only the Uniden BT-1006 rechargeable battery pack
supplied with your phone.

3Once the handset battery packs are fully charged,
use the telephone cord to connect the TEL LINE jack
to a telephone wall jack.
To telephone wall jack To TEL LINE
Telephone cord (supplied)
Charge both handsets at least
15 to 20 hours before you plug
in the phone cord.
Note:
Do not place the power cord where it creates a trip hazard or
where it could become chafed and create a re or electrical
hazard.
If the telephone cord does not t into your telephone wall jack,
contact your local phone provider for assistance.
Registering Handsets to the Base
Whichever handset you choose to charge in the base is automatically
registered to the base. Any additional handsets must also be registered to
the base before you can use them.
Be sure both handsets are fully charged.
One at a time, place each handset in the base. The charge/in use LED on
the base begins to ash, indicating the base is registering the handset.
Wait for at least ve seconds, then pick up the handset and press
[talk/ash]. If the display shows TALK, the handset is registered. If not,
place the handset in the base to try again.
Press [end] and continue with the next handset.
Note:
Once both handsets are registered, it doesn’t matter which
handset is placed in the base or the charger.
When you charge the handsets, Caller
ID summary screen and the name of
the handset appears.
Mounting the Base on a Wall
You can mount the phone on any standard telephone jack wall plate.
Snap the wall mount adapter into the
notches on the base top.
Plug the AC adapter to the DC IN 9V jack.
Plug the AC adapter into a standard 120V
AC outlet.
Plug the telephone cord into the TEL LINE
jack.
Route the telephone cord through the
molded wiring channel as shown.
Plug the telephone cord into the telephone wall jack.
Align the mounting slots on the
base with the mounting posts on
the wall. Then push in and down
until the phone is rmly seated.
Note: To mount the phone
directly on the wall, insert
two 1 3/8inch, #10 screws (not
supplied) into the wall using
anchors suitable for the wall
material. Place the screws 3 15/16
inches apart, and allow 1/8inch
free space between the wall and
screw heads.
