a call by just removing the handset from the base so you don’t have to waste time pushing
buttons or flipping switches. AutoStandby allows you to hang up by simply returning the
handset to the base.

true compander circuitry virtually eliminates background noise. This
innovative technology, together with 40 different channels, provides you with the best

This cordless telephone uses a digital
security code to prevent unauthorized
access to your base unit. This security
code prevents other cordless handsets
from making calls through your base unit.
A random security code will be assigned
automatically between your base unit and
handset when you charge the battery pack
for the first time.
If you want to reset the security code,
see page 34.

Before choosing a location for your new phone, read the INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
included in the PRECAUTIONS AND IMPORTANT SAFET Y INSTRUCTIONS brochure. Here are
some important guidelines you should consider:
•The location should be close to both a phone jack and a continuous power outlet
which is not switchable.
•Keep the base and handset away from sources of electrical noise such as motors,
microwave ovens, and fluorescent lighting.
•Be sure there is sufficient space to raise the base antenna to a vertical position.
•The base can be placed on a desk, tabletop, or mounted on a standard wall plate.

1)Press in on the battery cover release and slide the cover
down until it comes off.
2)Connect the battery pack connector observing correct
polarity (black and red wires) to the jack inside the battery
compartment.
Do not exert any force on this connection. It could cause
damage to the battery or handset. The plastic connector
will fit together only one way. Once you are certain that
you have made a good connection, then insert the battery
pack into the battery compartment. Do not pinch the wires.
3)Securely close the battery compartment cover by sliding it
up until it snaps into place.
4)Place the handset on the base.
Use only the Uniden
battery (BT-905)
supplied with your
phone. Replacement
batteries are also
available through the
Uniden Parts
Department
(see page 5).
