GETTING STARTED
Battery use time (per charge)
From fully charged (15-20 hours charge time)
• 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.
For optimum performance,
be sure to return the
handset to the base unit
after a telephone call.
The names and the numbers stored in the memory locations are retained for up to 30 minutes while you
replace the battery pack. Every 2 years replace the battery with a Genuine Uniden BT905 Battery.
BATTERY MAINTENANCE

10 GETTING STARTED
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.
• Mount your phone within reach of a working phone jack.
• Make sure the wall material is capable of supporting the weight of the base and handset.
• Use #10 screws (minimum length of 1 cm) 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),
8.5 cm apart.
Allow about 3 mm between the wall and screw heads for mounting the phone.
2) Align the mounting slots on the base with the screw heads. Then push in and down
until the phone is firmly seated.
