Installing the Phone
Do the following steps:
A. Choose the Best Location
B. Install the Rechargeable Battery Packs into the Handsets
C. Connect the Main Base and Charging Cradle, and Charge the Handsets
D. Mount the Main Base on a Wall
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 main base and each handset should be kept away from sources of electrical noise such
as motors, microwave ovens, and fluorescent lighting.
• The cradle can be placed on a desk, tabletop, or mounted on a standard wall plate.
• There should be enough space to fully extend the antenna.

B. Install the Rechargeable Battery Packs into the Handsets
Both handsets are powered by rechargeable battery packs. The
battery recharges automatically when the handset is placed in
the main base 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.
4) Place the battery case cover back in the handset by sliding it
upwards until it clicks into place.
•Use only the Uniden
(BT-905)
rechargeable battery
pack supplied with
your cordless
telephone.

C. Connect the Main Base and Charging Cradle,
and Charge the Handsets
1) Connect the AC adapter to the DC IN 9V jack and to a
standard 120V AC wall outlet.
2) Place one handset in the main base and the other in the
charging cradle with the keypad facing forward.
3) Make sure the charge in use LED and charge LED illuminate.
If the LED does not illuminate, check to see that the AC adapter is
plugged in and the handset makes good contact with the cradle's
charging contacts.
• Connect each AC adapter to a continuous power supply.
• Place each cradle close to the AC outlet so that you can
unplug the AC adapter easily.
4) Charge your handsets at least 15-20 hours before plugging into the
phone line.
5) Once the handset battery packs are fully charged, connect
the telephone line cord to the TEL LINE jack and a telephone
outlet.
If your telephone outlet isn't modular, contact your
telephone company for assistance.
Modular
•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.
•Do not place the power
cord where it creates a
trip hazard or where it
could become chafed
and create a fire or
electrical hazard.

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 cord lengths.
• Make sure the wall material is capable of supporting the weight of
the main base and handset.
• Use #10 screws (minimum length of 1-3/8 inches) with anchoring
devices suitable for the wall material where the main base 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 7 on page 9 to mount the telephone.

registration process on page 12.
3) If the second handset’s battery becomes very low, the handset must be recharged for 15-
20 hours and re-registered to the main base.
Call Transfer Feature
Your cordless phone allows you to transfer outside calls from handset to handset; only one
