GETTING STARTED[ 8 ] www.uniden.com
Setting up the Phone
Do the following steps:
A. Choose the best location C. Connect the base unit
B. Install the rechargeable battery 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. 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.
•The base can be placed on a desk, tabletop, or mounted on a standard wall plate.
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.

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 in 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 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 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.
For optimum
performance use only
the Uniden BT-800
rechargeable battery
pack supplied with your
phone.

4) Place the battery case cover back on the handset by sliding
it upwards until it clicks into place.
5) Place the handset in the base unit face forward for 15-20
hours without interruption. The base unit’s LED light
(labeled charge/in use) illuminates once the handset is
placed in the base. The LED light will illuminate regardless
if the battery pack is connected or not.
DO NOT rely on the LED light as an indicator that the
battery pack is connected and the handset is charging!
If the base charge/in use LED light does not illuminate:
• Check to see if the AC adapter is plugged into the base
unit and the electrical wall outlet properly. (Use only the
supplied AC adapter. Do not use any other AC adapter.)
• Check to see if the handset is sitting correctly in the
base and making good contact with the base unit’s
charging contacts.
• Replacement batteries
are also available
through the Uniden
Parts Department at
[phone],
Monday through Friday
from 8:00 a.m. to
5:00 p.m. or online at
www.uniden.com
• The handset should
always sit in charging
cradle face forward to
make good contact
with base unit’s
charge contacts.
