Setting up the Phone  
Do the following steps:  
A. Choose the best location  
B. Install the rechargeable battery pack  
into the handset  
C. Connect the base unit  
D. Choose the dialing mode  
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.  
A. Choose the best location  
Before choosing a location for your new phone, read the INSTALLATION  
CONSIDERATIONS included in the PRECAUTIONS AND IMPORTANT SAFETY  
INSTRUCTIONS. Here are some important guidelines you should consider:  
Avoid heat sources, such as radiators,  
air ducts, and sunlight  
Avoid noise sources such as a window by  
a street with heavy traffic  
If you have questions  
about what will disable  
your alarm equipment,  
contact your telephone  
company or a qualified  
installer.  
Avoid television sets and other  
electronic equipment  
Avoid microwave ovens  
Avoid excessive moisture,  
extremely low temperatures, dust,  
mechanical vibration, or shock  
Choose a central location  
Avoid personal computers  
Avoid other cordless telephones  
• The location should be close to both a phone jack and a continuous power outlet  
which is not switchable.  
• Keep the base and handset away from sources of electrical noise such as motors,  
microwave ovens, and fluorescent lighting.  
• Be sure there is sufficient space to raise the base antenna to a vertical position.  
• The base can be placed on a desk, tabletop, or mounted on a standard wall plate.

GETTING STARTED  
B. Install the rechargeable battery pack into the handset  
The handset is powered by a rechargeable battery pack.  
The battery recharges automatically when the handset is  
placed in the base unit.  
Charge the handset battery pack for at least 15-20  
hours before using your new cordless telephone for the  
first time! 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.  
Use only the Uniden  
(BT-905) rechargeable  
battery pack supplied  
with your cordless  
telephone.  
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, black 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 certain you have made a good connection by slightly  
pulling on the battery wires to insure that there is a secure  
connection. If the battery connector is not securely  
connected, the handset will not charge properly.

GETTING STARTED  
[ 7 ]  
4) Place the battery case cover back on the handset by sliding  
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/in  
use) illuminates once the handset is placed in the base.  
The LED light will illuminate regardless if the battery pack  
is connected or not.  
DO NOT rely on the LED light as an indicator that the  
battery pack is connected and the handset is charging!  
If the base charge/in use LED light does not illuminate:  
• Check to see if the AC adapter is plugged into the base  
unit and the electrical wall outlet properly. (Use only the  
supplied AC adapter. Do not use any other AC adapter.)  
• Check to see if the handset is sitting correctly in the  
base and making good contact with the base unit’s  
charging contacts.  
Replacement batteries  
are also available  
through the Uniden  
Parts Department at  
(800) 554-3988, Monday  
to Friday from 8:00 a.m.

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.  
If the contacts became very dirty, using water only,  
dampen a cloth to clean the charging contacts.  
Then make sure to go back over the charging contacts  
with a dry cloth before returning the handset to the  
base to charge.  
Standby Mode - The  
handset is not in use,  
off the base, and talk  
has not been pressed.

Direct wall mounting  
If you don't have a standard wall plate, 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.  
• Try to mount your phone within 5 feet of a working phone jack to avoid excessive  
cord lengths.  
• Make sure the wall material is capable of supporting the weight of the base  
and handset.  
• Use #10 screws (minimum length of 1-3/8 inches) 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), 3-15/16 inches apart. Allow about 1/8 of an  
inch between the wall and screw heads for mounting the phone.  
2) Refer to steps 1 through 8 on page 12 to mount the telephone.

Rechargeable Nickel-Cadmium  
Batteries Must Be Recycled or  
Disposed of Properly  
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 owner’s manual, could void your authority to operate this  
product. Your telephone compiles with Part 68 of FCC Rules. You must,  
upon request, provide the FCC registration number and the REN to your  
telephone company. Both numbers are on the base unit.  
Uniden voluntarily participates in an RBRC® industry program to  
collect and recycle nickel-cadmium batteries at the end of their  
useful life, when taken out of service within the United States.  
The RBRC® program provides a convenient alternative to placing  
used nickel-cadmium batteries into the trash or municipal waste  
stream, which is illegal in some areas.  
Through the RBRC® program, Uniden makes it easy for you to drop  
off the used battery at local retailers of replacement nickel-cadmium  
batteries. You may also contact your local recycling center for  
information on where to return the used battery. Please call 1-800-  
8-BATTERY for information on Ni-Cd battery recycling in your area.  
Uniden's involvement in this program is part of its commitment to  
protecting our environment and conserving natural resources.  
RBRC® is a registered trademark of the Rechargeable Battery  
Recycling Corporation.  
NOTE:  
You must not connect your phone to:  
• coin-operated systems  
• most electronic key telephone systems  
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.  
C. If the product has been exposed to rain or water.  
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.)  
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is  
intended to alert the user to the presence of important  
operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in  
the literature accompanying the appliance.  
E. If the product has been dropped or the cabinet has been  
damaged.  
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.  
Uniden works to reduce lead content in our PVC coated cords in our  
product and accessories.  
WARNING:  
The cords on this products and/or accessories contain lead, a chemical  
known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other

[ 44 ] ADDITIONAL INFORMATION  
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.  
Telephone Line Problems  
One Year Limited Warranty  
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.  
Important: Evidence of original purchase is required for warranty service.  
WARRANTOR: UNIDEN AMERICA CORPORATION (“Uniden”)  
ELEMENTS OF WARRANTY: Uniden warrants, for one year, to the original  
retail owner, this Uniden Product to be free from defects in materials  
and craftsmanship with only the limitations or exclusions set out below.  
Telephone Line Outlets  
There are two types of phone outlets:  
WARRANTY DURATION: This warranty to the original user shall terminate  
and be of no further effect 12 months after the date of original retail  
sale. The warranty is invalid if the Product is (A) damaged or not  
maintained as reasonable or necessary, (B) modified, altered, or used as  
part of any conversion kits, subassemblies, or any configurations not  
sold by Uniden, (C) improperly installed, (D) serviced or repaired by  
someone other than an authorized Uniden service center for a defect or  
malfunction covered by this warranty, (E) used in any conjunction with  
equipment or parts or as part of any system not manufactured by  
Uniden, or (F) installed or programmed by anyone other than as  
detailed by the owner’s manual for this product.  
Modular Jack  
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.  
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.  
Radio Interference  
Hardwired Jack  
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 antenna on the unit is fully extended.  
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.  
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.  
STATEMENT OF REMEDY: In the event that the product does not conform  
to this warranty at any time while this warranty is in effect, warrantor  
will either, at its option, repair or replace the defective unit and return  
it to you without charge for parts, service, or any other cost (except  
shipping and handling) incurred by warrantor or its representatives in  
connection with the performance of this warranty. Warrantor, at its  
option, may replace the unit with a new or refurbished unit. THE  
LIMITED WARRANTY SET FORTH ABOVE IS THE SOLE AND ENTIRE  
WARRANTY PERTAINING TO THE PRODUCT AND IS IN LIEU OF AND  
EXCLUDES ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER,  
WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR ARISING BY OPERATION OF LAW,  
INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF  
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THIS  
WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER OR PROVIDE FOR THE REIMBURSEMENT OR  
PAYMENT OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. Some states do  
not allow this exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential  
damages so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.  
Connecting the Telephone Cords  
Consider these safety guidelines before connecting the telephone cords:  
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.  
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.  
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 back 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.  
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.  
LEGAL REMEDIES: This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you  
may also have other rights which vary from state to state. This warranty  
is void outside the United States of America and Canada.  
PROCEDURE FOR OBTAINING PERFORMANCE OF WARRANTY: If, after  
following the instructions in the owner’s manual you are certain that  
the Product is defective, pack the Product carefully (preferably in its  
original packaging). The Product should include all parts and  
accessories originally packaged with the Product. Include evidence of  
original purchase and a note describing the defect that has caused you  
to return it. The Product should be shipped freight prepaid, by traceable  
means, to warrantor at:  
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. Consequently, any communications using your cordless  
telephone may not be private.

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 and handset away from sources of electrical noise  
such as motors or fluorescent lighting.
