Installing the Phone Choosing the Best Location When choosing a location for your new phone, here are some important guidelines you should consider: • 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. • If your home has wired alarm equipment connected to a 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. Correct Note: For maximum range: • Keep the antenna free of obstruction. • When the handset is not in use, place the handset in an upright position. • Do not hold the handset where you would block the signal. • Metal and reinforced concrete may affect cordless telephone performance. Incorrect Installing the Rechargeable Battery Use only the Uniden BT-446 or BT-1005 rechargeable battery pack supplied with your cordless telephone. Follow the steps below to install a battery: ) Press in 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 cable into the battery jack. Be sure to match the red and black wires to the label near the jack. The cable should snap into place. Gently pull on the battery cable. If the battery connector comes lose, try connecting again until the battery snaps into place. 3) Place the battery case cover back on the handset and slide it upwards until it clicks into place. 14
