C. Connect the base unit and charging cradle (XS1215+1 only), and charge the handset
D. Mount the base unit on a wall

When choosing a location for your new phone, here are some important guidelines you should
consider:
• The location should be close to both a phone jack and a continuous power outlet (one which is not
connected to a switch).
• The base and handset should be kept away from sources of electrical noise such as motors and
fluorescent lighting.
• The base can be placed on a desk, tabletop, or mounted on a standard wall plate. For better
reception, place the base as high as possible.
• The base should be placed in an open area for optimum range and reception.
A. Choose the best location
Avoid noise sources such as a window
by a street with heavy traffic
Avoid heat sources, such as radiators,
air ducts, and sunlight
Choose a central location
Avoid other cordless telephones
Avoid personal computers
Avoid excessive moisture, extremely
low temperatures, dust, mechanical
vibration, or shock
Avoid microwave ovens
Avoid television sets and
other electronic equipment

disable your alarm
equipment.
If you have questions
about what will

equipment, contact
your telephone
company or a
qualified installer.

INSTALLING THE PHONE

B. Install the Rechargeable Battery Pack into the Handset
The handset(s) are powered by rechargeable battery
packs. The battery recharges automatically when
the handset is placed in the charging cradle.
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 jack inside the battery compartment.
(The connector notches fit into the grooves of the
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.
4) Place the battery case cover back in the handset by
sliding it upwards until it clicks into place.
Repeat process for second handset
(XS1215+1 only).
Use only the Uniden
(BT-905) rechargeable
battery pack supplied
with your cordless
telephone.

C. Connect the Main Base and Charging Cradle (XS1215+1 only), and Charge
the Handsets
1) Connect each AC adapter to the jack and
to each standard AC wall outlet.
2) Place one handset in the main base (and the other
in the charging cradle - XS1215+1 only) with the
keypad facing forward.
3) Make sure the LED (and
LED - XS1215+1 only) illuminate. If the LED does
not illuminate, check to see that the AC adapter is
plugged in and the handset makes good contact
with the cradle's charging contacts.
• Connect each AC adapter to a continuous power supply.
• Place each cradle close to the AC outlet to avoid long extension cords.
4) Charge your handset(s) at least 15-20 hours before
plugging the phone line.
5) Once the handset battery pack(s) are fully charged,
connect the telephone line cord to the
jack and a telephone outlet. If your telephone outlet
