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 power outlet that is not connected to a wall switch.  
• The base and handset should be kept away from sources of electrical noise such as motors, microwave ov-  
ens, and uorescent 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 specially wired alarm equipment connected to a phone line, be sure that installing the sys-  
tem does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment,  
contact your telephone company or a qualied installer.

Maintenance  
Battery Replacement and Handling  
With average use, your phone’s battery should last approximately one year.  
To order replacement batteries, please contact Uniden’s Parts Department.  
The contact information is on the back cover page.  
Battery Contact Maintenance  
To maintain a good charge, clean the charging contacts on the handset once  
each 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 thor-  
oughly before returning the handset to the charging cradle.  
Caution: Do not use paint thinner, benzene, alcohol, or any other chemical  
products. Doing so may discolor the surface of the telephone and damage the  
nish.  
Warning  
To avoid the risk of personal injury or property damage from re or electrical shock, use only Uniden AD-800  
(DCT7565) and  
AD-0005 (DCT756, DCX750) AC adapters and Uniden BT-909 battery pack with your phone.  
Caution:  
• Do not remove the batteries from the handset to charge them.  
• Never throw the battery into a re, 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 the  
back cover page).

Low Battery Alert  
When the battery pack is very low, the phone is programmed to eliminate  
functions in order to save power.  
The battery pack needs to be charged when the empty battery icon appears.  
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.  
Talk Time, Standby Time, and Storing the Handset on the Base  
With average use, your battery provides approximately 5 hours of talk time and approximately 7 days of stand-  
by time. However, even when the battery pack is not being used, it gradually discharges over a long period of time.  
Therefore, you can achieve optimum performance if you return the handset to the cradle after each call. If the hand-  
set is left off of the base, the actual talk time duration will be reduced respective to the amount of time the handset is  
off the cradle.  
Troubleshooting  
Resetting the Handset  
You may need to reset your handset in the following instances:  
You lose a handset and purchase a new one.  
• When you try and register to your existing base, you see REGISTRATION FAILED on the menu display.  
You are unable to register any handsets to the base.  
You had a base which needed to be exchanged by the manufacturer.  
• When you register your existing handsets to the base, and 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 the one of the manufacturer’s call center representatives.

Changing the Digital Security Code  
The digital security code is an identication code used to connect the handset and the base unit. 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:  
1. Reset all handsets (see page 25).  
2. Re-register each handset by following the steps on page 24.  
Traveling Out of Range  
During a call, as you begin to move your handset too far from your base unit, noise may increase. If you pass the  
range limits of the base unit, you hear a beep and see OUT OF RANGE on the display, and then the handset returns  
to standby. You may return to the call if you move your handset within the range limits of the base and press  
[ /ash] or [ ] within 30 seconds.

The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be con-  
nected to a telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may  
result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most  
but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed ve (5.0). To be  
certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as de-  
termined by the total RENs, contact the telephone provider. For products  
approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is part of the prod-  
uct identier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits repre-

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject  
to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful  
interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received,  
including interference that may cause undesired operation. Privacy of  
communications may not be ensured when using this phone.  
To insure the safety of users, the FCC has established criteria for the  
amount of radio frequency energy various products may produce de-  
pending on their intended usage. This product has been tested and  
found to comply with the FCC’s exposure criteria. For body worn opera-

that registration was performed based on a Declaration of Conformity in-  
dicating that Industry Canada technical specications were met. It does  
not imply that Industry Canada approved the equipment.  
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,  
uorescent 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 pow-  
ers a major appliance because of the potential for interference. Be cer-  
tain that the antenna on the unit is fully extended when needed. In the  
unlikely event that you consistently hear other voices or distracting trans-  
missions on your phone, you may be receiving radio signals from anoth-  
er cordless telephone or other source of interference. If you cannot elimi-  
nate this type of interference, you need to change to a different channel.  
NOTICE: The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this terminal equip-  
ment is marked on the equipment itself. The REN assigned to each ter-  
minal equipment provides an indication of the maximum number of ter-  
minals allowed to be connected to a telephone interface. The termination  
on an interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only to  
the requirement that the sum of the Ringer Equivalence Numbers of all  
the devices does not exceed ve.  
RADIO EQUIPMENT  
The term “IC:” before the radio certication number only signies that In-  
dustry Canada technical specications were met.  
Finally, it should be noted that some cordless telephones operate at fre-  
quencies that may cause interference to nearby TVs and VCRs. To mini-  
mize 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.  
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may  
not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference,  
including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.  
“Privacy of communications may not be ensured when using this telephone.”  
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. Be-  
cause of the inherent physical properties of radio waves, your communi-  
cations 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.
