Installing the Phone
Do the following steps:
A. Choose the Best Location
B. Install the Rechargeable Battery Pack into the Handset
C. Connect the Base Unit and Charge the Handset
D. Mount the Base Unit on a Wall
A. Choose the best location
Before 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 base and handset 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.
For better reception, place the base as high as possible.
•The base should be placed in an open area for optimum range and reception.
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
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.

The handset is powered by a rechargeable battery pack.
The battery recharges automatically when the handset is

2) Plug the battery pack connector (red & black wires) into

(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 on the handset by sliding
it upwards until it clicks into place.
Use only the Uniden
(BT-905) rechargeable
battery pack supplied
with your phone.
