Setting up the Phone
note
Choose the best location
When choosing a location for your new phone, here are some
important guidelines you should consider:
If your home has
specially wired alarm
equipment connected to
phone line, be sure that
installing the system
does not disable your
alarm equipment.
If you have questions
about what will disable
alarm equipment,
contact your telephone
company or a qualified
installer.
• The location should be close to both a phone jack and a continuous
power outlet (one which is not connected to a switch).
• The base and handset should be kept away from sources of electrical
noise such as motors, Microwave ovens, and fluorescent lighting.
• For better reception, place the base as high as possible.
• The base should be placed in an open area for optimum range and
reception.

Warning!
A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the
premises wiring and telephone network must comply with
the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted
by the ACTA. A compliant telephone cord and modular plug
is provided with this product. It is designed to be
connected to a compatible modular jack that is also
compliant. See installation instructions for details.
The REN is used to determine the number of devices that
may be connected to a telephone line. Excessive RENs on a
telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in
response to an incoming call. In most but not all areas,
the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be
certain of the number of devices that may be connected to
a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local
telephone company. For products approved after July 23,
2001, the REN for this product is part of the product
identifier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The
digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal
point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3). For earlier products, the
REN is separately shown on the label.
If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network,
the telephone company will notify you in advance that
temporary discontinuance of service may be required. But
if advance notice isn't practical, the telephone company
will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also, you will
be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC if
you believe it is necessary.
The telephone company may make changes in its facilities,
equipment, operations or procedures that could affect the
operation of the equipment. If this happens the telephone
company will provide advance notice in order for you to
make necessary modifications to maintain uninterrupted
service.
Precautions!
The cords on this product and/or accessories contain lead,
a chemical known to the State of California to cause birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after
handling.
Before you read anything else, please observe the
following:

NOTICE: According to telephone company reports, AC
electrical surges, typically resulting from lightning strikes,
are very destructive to telephone equipment connected to
AC power sources. To minimize damage from these types of
surges, a surge arrestor is recommended.
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.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1)
This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2)
This device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired
operation. Privacy of communications, may not be ensured
when using this phone.
To insure the safety of users, the FCC has established
criteria for the amount of radio frequency energy various
products may produce depending on their intended usage.
This product has been tested and found to comply with
the FCC’s exposure criteria. For body worn operation, the
FCC RF exposure guidelines were also met when used with
the Uniden accessories supplied or designed for this
product. Use of other accessories may not ensure
compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines and should be
avoided.
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.
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.
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.
One Year Limited Warranty
Important: Evidence of original purchase is required for
warranty service.
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.
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.
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).
Disconnect the battery from the Product and separately
secure the battery in its own separate packaging within
the shipping carton. 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:
Radio Interference
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.
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.
