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.  
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.

Battery Replacement and Handling  
With average use, your phone’s battery should last approximately one year. A replacement Uniden battery may be  
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 charging 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.  
Warning  
To avoid the risk of personal injury or property damage from fire or electrical shock, use only Uniden AAD-041S  
(9V 350mA) and AAD-600S AC adapters and Uniden BT-909 battery pack with your phone.  
Caution:  
Use only the specified Uniden battery pack BT-909.  
• Do not remove the batteries from the handset to charge them.  
Never throw the battery into a fire, disassemble, or heat them.  
• Do not remove or damage the battery casing.  
• A replacement Uniden adapter or battery may be purchased by calling Uniden’s Parts department. See back  
cover page for contact information.

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 charging cradle.  
ꢀꢀ.QYꢀ$CVVGT[  
The battery pack needs to be charged when the empty battery icon appears.  
Talk and Standby Times  
With average use, your handset battery provides approximately 5 hours of talk time and approximately 7 days of  
standby time. When your handsets are not being used and are left off of their charging cradles, the battery will  
gradually discharge. You can achieve optimum battery life and performance by returning the handset to the charging  
cradle after each use. If the handset is left off of the charging cradle, the actual talk time duration will be reduced  
respective to the amount of time the handset is off of the charging cradle.

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.  
ꢀ) Press and hold [ ] and [#] for more than 5 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 22).  
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.  
44  
 
Resetting the Handset Without the Base  
If your original base is not available for some reason (for example, it is lost or somehow incapacitated), you can still  
reset the handset and use it with another base.  
ꢀ) Press and hold [ ] and [#] for at least 5 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 22).  
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:  
ꢀ) Reset all of your handsets (see Resetting the Handset on page 44).  
2) Re-register each handset (see Registering Accessory Handsets on page 22).  
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 30 seconds after the handset goes out of range. If you move the handset back within range of the base within 30  
seconds, press [ /flash] or [ ] to pick up the call again.

handset battery compartment or vent openings on the base), follow the steps below:  
Handset  
Base  
ꢀ) Remove the battery cover and leave it off for  
ventilation.
