This cordless telephone must be set up before use. Follow these steps:
AAbboouutttthheeddiiggiittaallsseeccuurriittyyccooddee
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 29.
SStteepp11((ppaaggee55))
Unpack the telephone and accessories.
SStteepp22((ppaaggee66))
Next, choose the best location
to set up the base unit.
SStteepp33((ppaaggee77ttoo1100))
Then, insert the battery pack into
the handset. Connect the base unit.
You must charge the battery pack for

AA..CChhoooosseetthheebbeessttllooccaattiioonn
Before choosing a location for your new phone, read the INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS included in the PRECAUTIONS AND
IMPORTANT SAFETY 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.
• If your second phone line has a separate modular jack, place your phone so you can access both jacks.

• Use only the
Uniden Battery
(BT-905) supplied
with your phone.
Replacement
batteries are also
available through
the Uniden Parts
Department (See
page 5).
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 unit. Remove the beltclip, if attached, for face up charging.
BBaatttteerryyuusseettiimmee((ppeerrcchhaarrggee))
From fully charged
• Seven hours continuous use.
• Fourteen days when the handset is in the standby mode.
LLoowwbbaatttteerryyaalleerrtt
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.
• 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
telephone call.
• If you must replace
the battery pack
during a telephone
call, complete the
replacement of the
battery pack
within 30 seconds,
and you can
return to the
original call.
The last number dialed in the redial memory is retained for up to 30 seconds. The handset
memory backup can hold names and numbers stored in the memory locations even if the battery
pack is completely discharged.
