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. For
better reception, place the main base as high as possible.
• The main base should be placed in an open area for optimum range and reception.

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 or BT-1006)
rechargeable battery
pack supplied with
your cordless
telephone.
