GETTING STARTED [ 9 ]www.uniden.com

Setting up the Phone

Do the following steps:

A. Choose the best location C. Connect the base unit

B. Install the rechargeable battery pack into the handset

A. Choose the best location

Before choosing a location for your new phone, read the INSTALLATION

CONSIDERATIONS included in the PRECAUTIONS. Here are some important guidelines

you should consider:

• 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.

• The base can be placed on a desk, tabletop, or mounted on a standard wall plate.

Avoid excessive moisture,

extremely low temperatures,

dust, mechanical vibration,

or shock

Avoid heat sources, such as radiators,

air ducts, and sunlight

Avoid television sets and other

electronic equipment

Avoid noise sources such as a window

by a street with heavy traffic

Avoid microwave ovens

Avoid personal computers

Avoid other cordless telephones

Choose a central location

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.

If you have questions

about what will disable

your alarm equipment,

contact your telephone

company or a qualified

installer.

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.

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 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 sure you have a good connection by slightly pulling

on the battery wires. If the connection is secure, the

battery jack will remain in place.

Use only the Uniden

(BT-905) rechargeable

battery pack supplied

with your cordless

telephone.

UC425BH (EXI976) 9/19/03 5:19 PM Page 10

GETTING STARTED [ 11 ]www.uniden.com

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 whether the battery pack is

connected or not.

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

through Friday from

8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

or online at

www.uniden.com

GETTING STARTED

UC425BH (EXI976) 9/19/03 5:19 PM Page 11

GETTING STARTED[ 12 ] www.uniden.com

• Even when the

battery pack is not

being used, it will

gradually discharge

over a long period

of time. For optimum

performance, be sure

to return the handset

to the base unit after

a telephone call.

• Talk Mode -

The handset is off the

base and the

talk/flash key has

been pressed,

enabling a dial tone.

• Standby Mode -

The handset may be

sitting in or off the

base, but is NOT in

use. The talk/flash

key has not been

pressed and there is

no dial tone.

Cleaning the battery charging contacts

To maintain a good charge, it is important to clean the

charging contacts on the handset once a month. 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.

Caution: Do not use paint thinner, benzene, alcohol, or

other chemical products. Doing so may discolor the

surface of the telephone and damage the finish.

Dial mode setting, last number dialed, names and numbers

stored in memory locations (including RocketDial), CID list are

retained for up to 30 minutes while you replace the battery

pack.

Low battery alert

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 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.

create a trip hazard or

where it could

become chafed and

create a fire or

electrical hazard.

• Use only the

supplied AD-0001

AC adapter.

Do not use any other

AC adapter.

• Connect the AC adapter to a continuous power supply.

dialing. The default setting is tone dialing. Depending on your dialing system, set

the mode as follows:

Make sure your battery

pack is fully charged

before choosing the

dialing mode.

Redial

The redial/pause key redials the last number dialed. The redialed number can be up

to 32 digits long.

Tone Dialing Switch-over

Some telephone companies use equipment that requires

pulse dialing (sometimes referred to as rotary dialing).

If you need to enter tone dialing digits, you can

switch-over to tone dialing during the call. This feature is

useful when you need tone dialing to use automated

systems, for example, entering your bank account number

after you have called your bank.

Initially make your call with the pulse dialing mode. Once your call connects, press

the

/tone/ key. Enter the desired number. These digits will be sent as tone dial-

ing. Once the call ends, the tone mode is canceled and pulse dialing mode resumes.

Traveling Out-of-Range

During a call, as you begin to move your handset too far from your base unit, noise

increases. If you pass the range limits of the base unit, your call will terminate

within 5 minutes.

•The tone feature only

applies when the dial

mode is set to pulse.

• This special number

can be stored in a

memory location. This

is referred to as Chain

Dialing (see page 26).

conversations.

•Paging is also

canceled when the

phone receives an

incoming call.

Flash and Call Waiting

If you have "Call Waiting" service and a call waiting tone

sounds while you are on a call, press the

talk/flash key

to accept the waiting call. There is a short pause, then

you will hear the new caller. To return to the original

caller, press the

talk/flash key again.

Find Handset

To locate the handset (while it's off the base), press the find hs

key on the base. The handset beeps for 60 seconds.

Paging is canceled when pressing any handset key, the

find hs

key on the base or the handset is returned to the base.

Selecting a Different Channel

If you encounter interference while using your phone, you can manually change the

phone´s channel for clear operation. This function works only when the phone is in

use. Press the

delete/channel key. Scanning appears on the display, indicating

the phone is changing to another channel. For more information on interference,

refer to "Precautions" on page 44.

You must subscribe through your local telephone company to
