Important Electrical
Considerations
Unplug all electrical appliances when you knowan
electrical storm is approaching. Lightning can pass
through your household wiring and damage any
device connected to it. This phone is no exception.
Warning:Please do not attempt to unplugany
aooliance durina an electrical storm.
Caution: Changes or modifications to this
product not expressly approved by
Uniden, or operation of this product in
any way other than as detailed by this
Operating Guide, could voidyour
authority to operate thisproduct.
Range
Your new phone is designed to achieve the
maximum possible range by transmitting and
receivingaccording to the highest specifications.
We have rated this phoneto oper~te at a maximum
distance with the qualificationthat the range
depends upon the environment in which the
telephone is used. Manyfactors limit range, and it
would be impossibleto includeall the variables in
our rating. The Maximum Range rating of this
phone is meant to be used as a means of
comparison against other range claims.
Telephone Line Problems
Ifyou are having trouble with your telephone
service, you must first disconnect your phone to
determine if it is the cause of your problem. If you
determine that it is the cause, you must leave it
disconnected until the trouble has been corrected.
Radio Interference
Radio interference mayoccasionally cause buzzing
and humming in your cordless Handset, or clicking
noises in the Base Unit.This interference is caused
by external sources such as TV, refrigerator,
vacuum cleaner, fluorescent lighting, or electrical
storm. Your unit is NOT DEFECTIVE. If these
8

noisescontinue and are too distracting, please
check around your home to see what appliances
may becausing the problem. Inaddition, we
recommendthat the Base not be plugged into a
circuit that also powers a major appliance because
ofthe potential for interference. Be certain that the
antennaon the unit is fully extended when needed.
Inthe unlikely eventthat you consistently hear
othervoices or distracting transmissions on your
phone,you may be receiving radio signals from
anothercordless telephone or other source of
interference. If you cannot eliminate this type of
interference,you need to change to a different
channel.
Finally, it should be noted that some cordless
telephonesoperate at frequencies that may cause
interferenceto nearby TVs and VCRs. To minimize
or prevent such interference, the base of the
cordless telephone should not be placed near or on
top of a TV or VCR. If interference is experienced,
movingthe cordless telephone farther away from
theTV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the
interference.
More Than One Cordless Telephone
Ifyou want to use morethan one cordless
telephone in your home, they must operate on
differentchannels. Pressthe channel key to select
a channel that provides the clearest
communication.
