New Zealand.

• Do not remove or damage the battery casing.

Cleaning the Battery Contacts
To maintain a good charge, clean the charging contacts on the handset
once a month. Dampen a cloth with plain water. Gently rub the damp cloth
over the charging contacts until all visible dirt is removed. Dry the contacts
thoroughly before returning the handset to the cradle.
Caution: Do not use paint thinner, alcohol, or other chemical products.
Doing so may discolor the surface of the telephone and damage the finish.
Low Battery Alert
When the battery pack is very low, the phone is programmed to eliminate functions in
order to save power. When LOW BATTERY appears in the display and the phone is in
standby, none of the keys will operate. If you are on a call, complete your conversation as
quickly as possible, and return the handset to the cradle.
ꢀꢀ.QYꢀ$CVVGT[
The battery pack needs to be charged when the empty battery icon appears.
Battery Life
With average use, your handset battery provides approximately five hours of talk time and approximately seven
days of standby time. You can achieve optimum battery life and performance by returning the handset to the base
or charger after each use. When your handset is left off of the cradle, the battery will gradually discharge even if
the handset is not being used. The actual talk time duration will be reduced in proportion to the amount of time the
handset is off of the cradle.
Power Failures
During a power failure, you will not be able to make or receive calls with the phone. To avoid damage from an
electrical spike when the power comes back on, we recommend you unplug your phone during power outages.

Troubleshooting
Resetting the Handset
You may need to reset your handset in the following instances:
• When you want to change the digital security code.
• You lose a handset and purchase a new one.
• You get the message Registration Failed when you try to register the handset.
• You are unable to register any handsets to the base.
• When you register new handsets to the base, the handset IDs do not match. (For example, the handset registers
as “Handset #4” but you only have two handsets.)
• When you are instructed to by one of Uniden’s call center representatives.
1) Press and hold [ ] and [#] for more than five seconds. Select DEREGISTER HS.
2) Select the handset which you are operating, then press [select/ ].
3) The phone will ask you to confirm the deregistration. Select YES. The selected handset will clear its registration
information from the base, and then delete the link to the base from its own memory.
4) When the base information is deleted, the handset displays HANDSET NOT REGISTERED-PLACE HANDSET
ON BASE TO REGISTER. SEE YOUR OWNER'S MANUAL FOR HELP.
5) Re-register the handset to the base (see Registering Accessory Handsets on page 20).
If the handset cannot contact the base, it will display OUT OF RANGE. Make sure the handset is in range of the
base and the base is connected to power.

Resetting the Handset Without the Base
If your original base is not available for some reason, you can still reset the handset and use it with another base.
1) Press and hold [ ] and [#] for at least five seconds.
2) Move the cursor to select BASEUNAVAILABLE and then press [select/ ]. BASE UNAVAILABLE appears.
3) Move the cursor to select YES, and then press [select/ ]. You hear a confirmation tone, and the handset
deletes its own base information without contacting the base. The handset displays HANDSET NOT
REGISTERED-PLACE HANDSET ON BASE TO REGISTER. SEE YOUR OWNER'S MANUAL FOR HELP.
4) Register the handset to the new base (see Registering Accessory Handsets on page 20).
Changing the Digital Security Code
The digital security code is an identification code used to connect the handset and the base. Your unit ships from the
manufacturer with a preset security code. Resetting this code is not normally necessary. In the rare situation that you
suspect another cordless telephone is using the same security code or if you are instructed to change this code by a
manufacturer’s Call Center Representative, you can change the code. To change the digital security code:
1) Reset all of your handsets (see Resetting the Handset on page 49).
2) Re-register each handset (see Registering Accessory Handsets on page 20).
Traveling Out of Range
During a call, if you move your handset too far from your base, noise may increase. If you pass the range limit of the
base, the handset will beep, display OUT OF RANGE, and then go to standby. The base will maintain the connection
for thirty seconds after the handset goes out of range. If you move the handset back within range of the base within
thirty seconds, press [ /flash] or [ ] to pick up the call again.
