note

•Use only the Uniden (BT-446) rechargeable battery pack supplied with your cordless telephone.

•Replacement battery packs are also available through the Uniden Parts Department at

(800)554-3988, Monday thru Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. or online at www.uniden.com

B. Install the rechargeable battery pack into the handset, and charge for at least 15-20 hours before using!

The handset is powered by a rechargeable battery pack. The battery recharges automatically when the handset is placed in the base unit. To maximize the charge capacity of your battery pack, DO NOT plug the telephone cord into the base unit and wall jack until the battery is fully charged.

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) Turn the battery pack so that the connector with the red and black wires is near the jack inside the battery compartment. Match the connector's wire colors to the polarity label in the battery compartment (the connector notches fit into the grooves of the jack only one way). Push the battery pack connector into the jack until it clicks into place.

3) Make sure you have a good connection by gently pulling on the battery wires. If the connection is secure, the battery jack will remain in place.

4) Place the battery case cover back on the handset and slide it upwards until it clicks into place.

5) Place the handset in the base unit for 15-20 hours without interruption. The base unit's LED light (labeled charge) illuminates once the handset is placed in the base. The LED light will illuminate whether the battery pack is connected or not.
