INSTALLING THE
PHONE
Installing the Phone
Do the following steps:
A. Choose the Best Location
B. Install the Rechargeable Battery Packs into the Handsets
C. Connect the Main Base and Charging Cradle, and Charge the Handsets
D. Mount the Main Base on a Wall
A. Choose the Best Location
Before 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 main base and each handset should be kept away from sources of electrical
noise such as motors, microwave ovens, and fluorescent lighting.
•The cradle can be placed on a desk, tabletop, or mounted on a standard wall plate.
For better reception, place the main base as high as possible.
•The main base should be placed in an open area for optimum range and reception.
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 Packs into the
Handsets
Both handsets are powered by rechargeable battery packs.
The battery recharges automatically when the handset is
placed in the main base or 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 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.
4) Place the battery case cover back in the handset by sliding
it upwards until it clicks into place.
Use only the Uniden
(BT-800) rechargeable
battery pack supplied
with your phone.

•Connect the AC adapter to a continuous power supply.
•Place each cradle close to the AC outlet to avoid long extension cords.
C. Connect the Main Base and Charging Cradle, and Charge the Handsets
1) Connect each AC adapter to the DC IN 9V
jack and to each standard 120V AC wall
outlet.
2) Place one handset in the main base and
the other in the charging cradle with the
keypad facing forward.
3) Make sure that the charge/in use LED and
charge LED illuminate. If the LED does not
illuminate, check to see that the AC adapter is
plugged in and that the handset makes good
contact with the cradle's charging contacts.
•Use only the supplied
AD-314 AC adapter
for the main base and
AD-310 or AD-1010
for the charging
cradle.
Do not use any other
AC adapter.
•Do not place the power
cord where it creates a
trip hazard or where it
could become chafed
and create a fire or
electrical hazard.
4) Charge your handsets at least 15-20 hours before
plugging the phone line.

5) Once the handset battery packs are fully
charged, connect the telephone line cord to
the TEL LINE jack and a telephone outlet.
If your telephone outlet isn't modular,
contact your telephone company for
assistance.
