D. If the product does not operate normally  
when following the operating instructions.  
(Adjust only those controls that are covered  
by the operating instructions. Improper  
adjustment of other controls may result in  
damage and will often require extensive  
repair work by a qualified technician.)  
E. If the product has been dropped or the  
cabinet has been damaged.  
Important Electrical Considerations  
Unplug all electrical appliances when you know an  
electrical storm is approaching. Lightning can pass  
through your household wiring and damage any  
device connected to it. This phone is no exception.  
Warning!  
Please do not attempt to unplug any appliance  
during an electrical storm.  
F. If the product exhibits a distinct change in  
performance.  
13. Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in  
the vicinity of the leak.  
The FCC Wants You To Know  
Changes or modifications to this product not  
expressly approved by Uniden, or operation of this  
product in any way other than as detailed by the  
instruction manual, could void your authority to  
operate this product. The equipment cannot be  
used on public coin phone service provided by the  
telephone company. Connection to party line  
service is subject to state tariffs. (Contact the state  
public utility commission, public service  
commission or corporation commission for  
information.)  
Additional Battery Safety Precautions  
Caution! To reduce the risk of fire or injury to  
persons by the battery, read and follow  
these instructions:  
1. Use only the appropriate type and size battery  
pack specified in the instruction manual.  
2. Do not dispose of the battery pack in a fire.  
The cell may explode. Check the  
nickel-cadmium battery disposal package insert  
for disposal instructions.  
3. Do not open or mutilate the battery pack.  
Released electrolyte is corrosive and may  
cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be  
toxic if swallowed.  
4. Exercise care in handling the battery in order  
not to short the battery with conducting  
materials such as rings, bracelets, and keys.  
The battery or conductor may overheat and  
cause burns.  
5. Charge the battery pack provided with or  
identified for use with this product only in  
accordance with the instructions and  
limitations specified in the instruction manual  
provided for this product.  
Range  
Your new phone is designed to achieve the  
maximum possible range by transmitting and  
receiving according to the highest specifications  
set forth by the FCC. We have rated this phone to  
operate at a maximum distance with the  
qualification that the range depends upon the  
environment in which the telephone is used. Many  
factors limit range, and it would be impossible to  
include all the variables in our rating. The  
Maximum Range rating of this phone is meant to  
be used as a means of comparison against other  
range claims.  
Telephone Line Problems  
The FCC has granted the telephone company the  
right to disconnect service in the event that your  
phone causes problems on the telephone line. Also,  
the telephone company may make changes in  
facilities and services which may affect the  
operation of your unit. However, your telephone  
company must give adequate notice in writing  
prior to such actions to allow you time for making  
necessary arrangements to continue uninterrupted  
service.  
6. Observe proper polarity orientation between  
the battery pack and battery charger.  
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!  
If you are having trouble with your telephone  
service, you must first disconnect your phone to  
determine if it is the cause of your problem. If you  
determine that it is the cause, you must leave it  
disconnected until the trouble has been corrected.

Radio Interference  
Keep the base and handset away from sources  
of electrical noise such as motors or  
fluorescent lighting.  
Be sure there is sufficient space to fully extend  
the base antenna.  
The base can be placed on a desk or tabletop or  
mounted on a standard telephone wall plate.  
You should charge your new phone for 15-20  
hours before completing the installation or  
using the handset.  
Radio interference may occasionally cause buzzing  
and humming in your cordless handset, or clicking  
noises in the base. This interference is caused by  
external sources such as TV, refrigerator, vacuum  
cleaner, fluorescent lighting, or electrical storm.  
Your unit is NOT DEFECTIVE. If these noises  
continue and are too distracting, please check  
around your home to see what appliances may be  
causing the problem. In addition, we recommend  
that the base not be plugged into a circuit that also  
powers a major appliance because of the potential  
for interference. Be certain that the antenna on the  
unit is fully extended when needed.  
Telephone Line Outlets  
There are two types of phone outlets:  
In the unlikely event that you consistently hear  
other voices or distracting transmissions on your  
phone, you may be receiving radio signals from  
another cordless telephone or other source of  
interference. If you cannot eliminate this type of  
interference, you need to change to a different  
channel.  
Modular Jack  
Most phone equipment available now uses  
modular jacks. Phone cords are fitted with a  
molded plastic connector which plugs into this  
type of jack. If you do not have modular phone  
jacks, contact your local telephone company for  
information about their installation.  
Finally, it should be noted that some cordless  
telephones operate at frequencies that may cause  
interference to nearby TVs and VCRs. To  
minimize or prevent such interference, the base of  
the cordless telephone should not be placed near or  
on top of a TV or VCR. If interference is  
experienced, moving the cordless telephone farther  
away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or  
eliminate the interference.  
Hardwired Jack  
Some equipment is wired directly to a phone jack,  
and these types of installations require a modular  
jack converter. This type of installation is not  
difficult; however, you should contact your Uniden  
telephone dealer or a telephone supply store for  
advice about the proper adapter or converter for  
your particular situation.  
Connecting the Telephone Cords  
Consider these safety guidelines before connecting  
the telephone cords:  
More Than One Cordless Telephone  
If you want to use more than one cordless  
telephone in your home, they must operate on  
different channels. Press the channel key to select  
a channel that provides the clearest  
communication.  
Caution!  
Never install telephone wiring during a  
lightning storm.  
Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or  
terminals unless the telephone line has been  
disconnected.  
Use caution when installing or modifying  
telephone lines.  
Cordless Telephone Privacy  
Cordless telephones are radio devices.  
Communications between the handset and base of  
your cordless telephone are accomplished by  
means of radio waves which are broadcast over the  
open airways. Because of the inherent physical  
properties of radio waves, your communications  
can be received by radio receiving devices other  
than your own cordless telephone unit.  
Applying Power to the Base  
This phone requires an AC outlet, without a switch  
to interrupt power, and the included AC adapter.  
To relieve strain on the DC plug when the phone is  
placed on a desk or table, wrap the power cord  
around the strain relief notch on the bottom of the  
base.  
NOTE: Place the power cord so that it does not  
create a trip hazard, or where it could  
become chafed and create a fire or other  
electrical hazards.  
Consequently, any communications using your  
cordless telephone may not be private.  
Installation Considerations  
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.)  
Plug the AC Adapter into a standard 120 VAC wall  
outlet.  
Do not use an outlet controlled by a wall switch.  
Use only the Uniden AC Adapter supplied with  
this phone.

Step 3: Preparing the battery pack (continued)  
Battery duration  
A fully charged battery pack lasts for about:  
approx. 7 hours when you use the handset continuously.  
approx. 7 days when the handset is in standby mode.  
Notes  
The battery pack will gradually discharge over a long period of time, even if  
not in use.  
If you leave the battery pack in the handset without charging it, the battery  
pack will be completely discharged.  
It may require several times of charging to recover its full capacity.  
To obtain the best performance from the battery  
Do not place the handset on the base phone after each call. The battery  
works best if the handset is returned to the base phone after two or  
three calls. However, do not leave the handset off the base phone for a  
long period of time as this will completely discharge the battery pack.  
When to purchase a new battery pack  
If the battery lasts only a few minutes even after 15-20 hours of charging,  
the usable life of the battery has expired and needs replacement.  
Contact Uniden Parts Department (see page 7), and ask for a BT-905  
rechargeable battery pack.  
Note  
Battery life may vary depending on usage condition and ambient temperature.

To obtain the best speakerphone performance  
You may not be able to hear the other partys voice in a noisy place.  
Therefore, use the speakerphone in a quiet room.  
Do not bring your hand or other object too close to the microphone  
or you will hear a shrill noise (feedback).  
When the speaker volume is loud, or the telephone has been placed  
close to a wall, you may find that the volume drops suddenly. This is  
due to a circuit in the telephone designed to protect against  
feedback. In such cases, lower the speaker volume slightly.
