[59] PRECAUTIONS & WARRANTY
www.uniden.com
To insure the safety of users, the FCC has established criteria for the
amount of radio frequency energy various products may produce depending
on their intended usage. This product has been tested and found to comply
with the FCC's exposure criteria. For body worn operation, the FCC RF
exposure guidelines were also met when used with the Uniden accessories
supplied or designed for this product. Use of other accessories may not
ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines and should be avoided.
Range
Your new phone is designed to achieve the maximum possible range by
transmitting and receiving according to the highest specifications set forth
by the FCC. We have rated this phone to operate at a maximum distance
with the qualification that the range depends upon the environment in
which the telephone is used. Many factors limit range, and it would be
impossible to include all the variables in our rating. The Maximum Range
rating of this phone is meant to be used as a means of comparison against
other range claims.
Telephone Line Problems
The FCC has granted the telephone company the right to disconnect service in
the event that your phone causes problems on the telephone line. Also, the
telephone company may make changes in facilities and services which may
affect the operation of your unit. However, your telephone company must give
adequate notice in writing prior to such actions to allow you time for making
necessary arrangements to continue uninterrupted service. If you are having
trouble with your telephone service, you must first disconnect your phone to
determine if it is the cause of your problem. If you determine that it is the
cause, you must leave it disconnected until the trouble has been corrected.
Radio Interference
Radio interference may occasionally cause buzzing and humming in your
cordless handset, or clicking noises in the base. This interference is caused
by external sources such as TV, refrigerator, vacuum cleaner, fluorescent
lighting, or electrical storm. Your unit is NOT DEFECTIVE. If these noises
continue and are too distracting, please check around your home to see
what appliances may be causing the problem. In addition, we recommend
that the base not be plugged into a circuit that also powers a major
appliance because of the potential for interference. Be certain that the
antenna on the unit is fully extended when needed.
In the unlikely event that you consistently hear other voices or distracting
transmissions on your phone, you may be receiving radio signals from another
cordless telephone or other source of interference. If you cannot eliminate this
type of interference, you need to change to a different channel.
Finally, it should be noted that some cordless telephones operate at
frequencies that may cause interference to nearby TVs and VCRs. To
minimize or prevent such interference, the base of the cordless telephone
should not be placed near or on top of a TV or VCR. If interference is
experienced, moving the cordless telephone farther away from the TV or
VCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference.
More than One Cordless Telephone
If you want to use more than one cordless telephone in your home, they
must operate on different channels. Press the channel key to select a
channel that provides the clearest communication.
Cordless Telephone Privacy
Cordless telephones are radio devices. Communications between the
handset and base of your cordless telephone are accomplished by means of
radio waves which are broadcast over the open airways.
Because of the inherent physical properties of radio waves, your
communications can be received by radio receiving devices other than your
own cordless telephone unit. Consequently, any communications using your
cordless telephone may not be private.
Installation Considerations
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. (A continuous power outlet is an AC outlet which does not have a
switch to interrupt its power.)
• Keep the base and handset away from sources of electrical noise such as
motors or fluorescent lighting.
• Be sure there is sufficient space to fully extend the base antenna.
• The base can be placed on a desk or tabletop or mounted on a standard
telephone wall plate.
• You should charge your new phone for 15-20 hours before completing the
installation or using the handset.
Telephone Line Outlets
There are two types of phone outlets:
Modular Jack
Most phone equipment available now uses modular jacks. Phone cords are
fitted with a molded plastic connector which plugs into this type of jack. If
you do not have modular phone jacks, contact your local telephone
company for information about their installation.
Hardwired Jack
Some equipment is wired directly to a phone jack, and these types of
installations require a modular jack converter. This type of installation is
not difficult; however, you should contact your Uniden telephone dealer or
a telephone supply store for advice about the proper adapter or converter
for your particular situation.
Connecting the Telephone Cords
Consider these safety guidelines before connecting the telephone cords:
Caution!
• Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
• Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone
line has been disconnected.
• Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
Applying Power to the Base
This phone requires an AC outlet, without a switch to interrupt power, and
the included AC adapter. To relieve strain on the DC plug when the phone is
placed on a desk or table, wrap the power cord around the strain relief
notch on the bottom of the base.
NOTE: Place the power cord so that it does not create a trip hazard, or where
it could become chafed and create a fire or other electrical hazards.
