Setting up the Phone
Do the following steps:
A. Choose the best location
B. Install the battery pack
About the digital security code
C. Connect the base unit
D. Choose the dial mode
This cordless telephone uses a digital
security code to prevent unauthorized
access to your base unit. This security
code prevents other cordless handsets
from making calls through your base unit.
A random security code will be assigned
automatically between your base unit and
handset when you charge the battery pack
for the first time. If you want to reset the
security code, see page 32.
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 brochure. Here are some important guidelines you
should consider:
Avoid heat sources, such as rradiators,
air ducts, and sunlight
Avoid noise sources such as a window
by a street with heavy traffic
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.

B. Install the battery pack
Charge the battery pack for at least 15-20 hours before plugging the telephone jack
and start using your phone.
1)Press in on the battery cover release and slide the cover down until it comes off.
• Use only the Uniden
battery (BT-905)
supplied with your
phone. Replacement
batteries are also
available through
the Uniden Parts
Department (see
page 4).
2)Connect the battery pack connector observing correct polarity (black and red wires) to
the jack inside the battery compartment.
Do not exert any force on this connection. It could cause damage to the battery or
handset. Once you are certain that you have made a good connection, then insert the
battery pack into the battery compartment. Do not pinch the wires.
3)Securely close the battery compartment cover by sliding it up until it snaps into place.
4)Place the handset on the base. Remove the beltclip, if attached, for face up charging.

battery.
When the battery pack is very low and needs to be charged, the
phone is programmed to eliminate functions in order to save
power. If the phone is not in use, “Low Battery“ appears on
the LCD and none of the keys will operate.
• If you must replace
the battery pack
during a telephone
call, complete the
replacement within
30 seconds, and
you may return to
the caller.
If the phone is in use, “Low Battery“ flashes and the handset beeps. Complete your
conversation as quickly as possible and return the handset to the base unit for charging.
The last number dialed in the redial memory and the numbers stored in the memory
locations are retained for up to 30 minutes while you replace the battery pack.

• If you are not sure of your dialing system, set for tone dialing. Make a trial call.
If the call connects, leave the setting as is, otherwise set for pulse dialing.
• If your phone system requires pulse dialing and you need to send DTMF tones for certain situations during a
call, you may "switch-over" to tone dialing. (Refer to "Tone Dialing Switch-over" on page 12.)

Mounting the Base Unit on a Wall
Setting the handset retainer clip for wall mounting
1)On the base unit, pull the handset retainer clip out of the slot and rotate it clock-
wise 180 degrees.
2)Flip the retainer clip from front to back. Slide it back into the slot so that the lip
of the retainer is up and the M is down. The retainer holds the handset in place.
DO NOT use an
outlet controlled by
a wall switch.
Standard wall plate mounting
This phone can be mounted on any standard wall plate.
1)Snap the wall mount adapter into the notches on the base.
2)Plug the AC adapter to the DC IN 9V jack.
3)Wrap the AC adapter cord inside the molded wiring channel as shown.
4)Plug the AC adapter into a standard 120V AC wall outlet.
5)Place the handset on the base and charge for 15-20 hours.
6)Plug the telephone line cord into the TEL LINE jack. Wrap the cord
inside the molded wiring channel as shown.
7)Plug the telephone line cord into the telephone outlet.
8)Raise the antenna to a vertical position.
9)Align the mounting slots on the base with the mounting posts on the
wall. Then push in and down until the phone is firmly seated.
If you have wall
mounted the base,
you have to remove
the beltclip to hang
the handset with
the display facing
forward.
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)Set the retainer clip if necessary.
3)Refer to steps 1 through 9 above to mount the telephone.

Redial
redial/p
The
key redials the last number dialed. The redialed number can be up to 32 digits long.
Tone Dialing Switch-over
The tone feature
only applies when
the dial mode is set
to pulse.
Some telephone companies use equipment that require pulse dialing (sometimes referred to
as rotary dialing). If you need to enter tone dialing digits, you can switch-over to tone dial-
ing during the call. An example of this could be entering your bank account number after
you have called your bank. The digits of your bank account can be entered using DTMF tones.
Initially make your call with the pulse dialing mode. Once your call connects, press /tone
.
*
Enter the desired number (like in the example above, the bank account number). These digits will be sent as tone
dialing. This special number can be stored in a memory location. This is referred to as Chain Dialing (See page 17).
Once the call ends, the tone mode is canceled and pulse dialing resumes.

An example of this is a bank account number. Once you have called your bank, when you are prompted to enter the

account number, simply press and then the location where the special number has been stored.
Store your special number with identifying name in memory as you would a phone number. (Refer to "Storing
Phone Numbers and Names" on page 14.) Enter a pause as necessary in the sequence.
A pause counts as one digit and represents a two second delay in time between digits as they are sent.
