GETTING STARTED[ 8 ]
Setting up the Phone
Do the following steps:
A. Choose the best location C. Connect the base unit
B. Install the rechargeable battery D. Choosing the dialing mode
pack into the handset.
A. Choose the best location
Before choosing a location for your new phone, read the INSTALLATION
CONSIDERATIONS included in the PRECAUTIONS AND IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS. 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.
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
note
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.

B. Install the rechargeable battery pack into the handset
The handset is powered by a rechargeable battery pack.
The battery recharges automatically when the handset
is placed on the base unit.
Charge the handset battery pack for at least 15-20
hours before using your new cordless telephone for
the first time!
To maximize the charge capacity of your battery pack,
DO NOT plug the telephone cord into the base unit and
wall jack until the battery is fully charged.
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 small, black 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 certain you have made a good connection by
slightly pulling on the battery wires to insure that
there is a secure connection. If the battery connector
is not securely connected, the handset will not
charge properly.

GETTING STARTED[ 10 ]
Battery use time (per charge)
From fully charged
•Up to seven hours continuous use during talk mode.
•Up to fourteen days when the handset is in the standby mode.
Low battery alert
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.
Cleaning the charging contacts
To maintain a good charge, it is important to clean
the charging contacts on both the handset and base
unit once a month. Use a dry cloth or pencil eraser
to clean. If the contacts become very dirty, using
water only, dampen a cloth to clean the charging
contacts. Then make sure to go back over the
charging contacts with a dry cloth before returning
the handset to the base to charge.
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.
The handset memory backup can hold Caller ID Memory, Memory Dial, and all settings
stored in memory even if the battery pack is completely discharged.

[ 14 ] GETTING STARTED[ 14 ]
Direct wall mounting
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 6-10 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 screwheads for mounting
the phone.
2) Set the retainer clip if necessary.
3) Refer to steps 1 through 8 on page 13 to mount
the telephone.

D. Choosing the dialing mode
Most phone systems use tone dialing which sends DTMF tones through the
phone lines. 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 the flash key on the base until you hear a confirmation tone.
2) To set the dial mode for pulse dialing, press #on the base. Or to set the
dial mode for tone dialing, press */tone on the base. 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 dialing 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 21).

www.uniden.com
