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.

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 32.

When the battery pack is very low and needs to be charged, the
phone is programmed to eliminate functions in order to save
power. If the phone is not in use, “Low Battery“appears on
the LCD and none of the keys will operate.
If the phone is in use, “Low Battery“flashes and the handset beeps. Complete your
conversation as quickly as possible and return the handset to the base unit for charging.
The last number dialed in the redial memory and the numbers stored in the memory
locations are retained for up to 30 minutes while you replace the battery pack.
•Use only the Uniden
battery (BT-905)
supplied with your
phone. Replacement
batteries are also
available through
the Uniden Parts
Department (see
page 4).
•Even when the
battery pack is not
being used, it will
gradually discharge
over a long period
of time.
For optimum
performance, be
sure to return the
handset to the base
unit after each

•If you must replace
the battery pack
during a telephone
call, complete the
replacement within
30 seconds, and
you may return to

Most phone systems use tone dialing which sends DTMF tones through the phone line. However some phone systems
still use pulse dialing such as in rural areas. The default setting is tone dialing. Depending on your dialing system,
set the mode as follows:
1)Press and hold
ffllaasshh
until you hear a confirmation tone.
The current setting appears next to Dial Mode.
2)To set the dial mode for pulse dialing, press #. Or to set the dial
mode for tone dialing, press */tone .
A confirmation tone sounds to indicate the setting is complete.
•If you are not sure of your dialing system, set for tone dialing. Make a trial call.
If the call connects, leave the setting as is, otherwise set for pulse dialing.
•If your phone system requires pulse dialing and you need to send DTMF tones for certain situations during a
call, you may "switch-over" to tone dialing. (Refer to "Tone Dialing Switch-over" on page 12.)

3)Wrap the AC adapter cord inside the molded wiring channel as shown.
4)Plug the AC adapter into a standard 120V AC wall outlet.
5)Place the handset on the base and charge for 15-20 hours.
6)Plug the telephone line cord into the TEL LINE jack. Wrap the cord
inside the molded wiring channel as shown.
7)Plug the telephone line cord into the telephone outlet.
8)Raise the antenna to a vertical position.

1)On the base unit, pull the handset retainer clip out of the slot and rotate it clock-
wise 180 degrees.
2)Flip the retainer clip from front to back. Slide it back into the slot so that the lip
of the retainer is up and the ▼is down. The retainer holds the handset in place.
DDiirreeccttwwaallllmmoouunnttiinngg
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 base and handset.
•Use #10 screws (minimum length of 1-3/8 inches) with anchoring devices suitable for the wall
material where the base unit 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)Set the retainer clip if necessary.
3)Refer to steps 1 through 9 above to mount the telephone.
DO NOT use an
outlet controlled by
a wall switch.
If you have wall
mounted the base,
you have to remove
the beltclip to hang
the handset with
the display facing
forward.

The

Tone Dialing Switch-over
Some telephone companies use equipment that require pulse dialing (sometimes referred to
as rotary dialing). If you need to enter tone dialing digits, you can switch-over to tone dial-
ing during the call. An example of this could be entering your bank account number after
you have called your bank. The digits of your bank account can be entered using DTMF tones.
Initially make your call with the pulse dialing mode. Once your call connects, press */tone .
Enter the desired number (like in the example above, the bank account number). These digits will be sent as tone
dialing. This special number can be stored in a memory location. This is referred to as Chain Dialing (See page 17).
Once the call ends, the tone mode is canceled and pulse dialing resumes.
Terminology
Throughout this manual, terms such as Standby and Talk Mode are used. Below is the terminology explanation.
•SSttaannddbbyyMMooddee- The handset is not in use, off the base and
ttaallkk
has not been pressed. A dial tone is not present.
•TTaallkkMMooddee- The handset is off the base and

Store your special number with identifying name in memory as you would a phone number. (Refer to "Storing
