Installation
Charging the Battery Pack
The rechargeable Nickel-Cadmium battery pack must be fully
charged before using your phone for the first time.
Before
plugging the phone line into your new phone, you must
charge the battery for approximately 15-20 hours
without interruption.
1. Remove the handset battery cover.
2. Plug the battery’s
cable into the handset
and place the battery
pack inside the
battery
compartment.
3. Replace the battery cover.
t
Charging the Handset
Place the handset on the
base to charge.
(The
handset can charge in
either the face-up or
face-down position.)
t
Low Battery Indicator
When the battery pack in the handset
is low and needs to be charged, the
batt
LED flashes every 3 seconds.
If this occurs while you are on the
phone, you will hear an alert tone.
Complete your call as quickly as
possible and return the handset to
the base for charging.
t
Cleaning the Battery Contacts
To maintain a good
charge, it is important
to clean all battery
contacts on the handset
and base about once a
month. Use a dry cloth or
other contact cleaner.
Do not use any liquids
or solvents.
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.
•
Keep the base unit and handset away
from sources of electrical noise such
as motors or fluorescent lighting.
•
Be sure there is sufficient space to
rotate the base unit antenna to
fully vertical.

A continuous power outlet is an AC outlet
which does not have a switch to interrupt its
power.
Important: Do not place the power cord in an
area where it may create a trip hazard or
become chafed and create a fire or
electrical hazard.
Place the switch in the
T
position for tone dialing, or
the
P
position for
pulse dialing.
The plastic connectors will fit together only one
way. Make sure the battery’s connector is
properly aligned. Use only the Uniden battery
pack (model BT-905).
