Installation

Charging the Battery Pack

The rechargeable nickel-cadmium battery pack must be fully charged before using your phone for the first time. Before plugging the phone line into your new phone, you must charge the battery for approximately 15-20 hours without interruption.

1. Remove the handset battery cover.

2. Plug the battery’s

cable into the handset and place the battery pack inside the battery compartment.

The plastic connectors will fit together only one way. Make sure the battery’s connector is properly aligned. Use only the Uniden battery pack (model BT-905).

3. Replace the battery cover.

Charging the Handset

Place the handset on the base to charge. (The handset can charge in either the face-up or face-down position.)

Low Battery Indicator

When the battery pack in the handset is low and needs to be charged, the batt LED flashes every 3 seconds.

If this occurs while you are on the phone, you will hear an alert tone. Complete your call as quickly as possible, and return the handset to the base for charging.

Cleaning the Battery Contacts

To maintain a good charge, it is important to clean all battery contacts on the handset and base about once a month. Use a dry cloth

or pencil eraser if necessary.

Do not use any liquids or solvents.

Selecting a Location

Before choosing a location for your new phone, there are some important guidelines you should consider:

The location should be close to both a phone jack and continuous power outlet.

A continuous power outlet is an AC outlet which does not have a switch to interrupt its power.

Keep the base unit and handset away from sources of electrical noise such as motors and fluorescent lighting.

Be sure there is sufficient space to rotate the Base Unit antenna to the vertical position.

Important: Do not place the power cord in an area where it may create a trip hazard or become chafed and create a fire or electrical hazard.

Setting the Dial Mode

Most phone systems use tone dialing. Depending on your dialing system, set the mode as follows:

1.Press and hold flash until you hear a confirmation tone.

2.To set the dial mode for pulse dialing, press #. Or to set the dial mode for tone dialing, press /tone. A confirmation tone sounds again to

indicate the setting is complete.
