D. If the product does not operate normally
when following the operating instructions.
(Adjust only those controls that are covered
by the operating instructions. Improper
adjustment of other controls may result in
damage and will often require extensive
repair work by a qualified technician.)
E. If the product has been dropped or the
cabinet has been damaged.
Important Electrical Considerations
Unplug all electrical appliances when you know an
electrical storm is approaching. Lightning can pass
through your household wiring and damage any
device connected to it. This phone is no exception.
Warning!
Please do not attempt to unplug any appliance
during an electrical storm.
F. If the product exhibits a distinct change in
performance.
13. Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in
the vicinity of the leak.
The FCC Wants You To Know
Changes or modifications to this product not
expressly approved by Uniden, or operation of this
product in any way other than as detailed by the
instruction manual, could void your authority to
operate this product. The equipment cannot be
used on public coin phone service provided by the
telephone company. Connection to party line
service is subject to state tariffs. (Contact the state
public utility commission, public service
commission or corporation commission for
information.)
Additional Battery Safety Precautions
Caution! To reduce the risk of fire or injury to
persons by the battery, read and follow
these instructions:
1. Use only the appropriate type and size battery
pack specified in the instruction manual.
2. Do not dispose of the battery pack in a fire.
The cell may explode. Check the
nickel-cadmium battery disposal package insert
for disposal instructions.
3. Do not open or mutilate the battery pack.
Released electrolyte is corrosive and may
cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be
toxic if swallowed.
4. Exercise care in handling the battery in order
not to short the battery with conducting
materials such as rings, bracelets, and keys.
The battery or conductor may overheat and
cause burns.
5. Charge the battery pack provided with or
identified for use with this product only in
accordance with the instructions and
limitations specified in the instruction manual
provided for this product.
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.
6. Observe proper polarity orientation between
the battery pack and battery charger.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
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
•
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.
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.
•

Telephone Line Outlets
There are two types of phone outlets:
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.
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.
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.
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:
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.
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.
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.
•
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.
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.)
Plug the AC Adapter into a standard 120 VAC wall
outlet.
Do not use an outlet controlled by a wall switch.
Use only the Uniden AC Adapter supplied with
this phone.

Step 3: Preparing the battery pack (continued)
Battery duration
A fully charged battery pack lasts for about:
• approx. 7 hours when you use the handset continuously.
• approx. 7 days when the handset is in standby mode.
Notes
• The battery pack will gradually discharge over a long period of time, even if
not in use.
• If you leave the battery pack in the handset without charging it, the battery
pack will be completely discharged.
It may require several times of charging to recover its full capacity.
To obtain the best performance from the battery
Do not place the handset on the base phone after each call. The battery
works best if the handset is returned to the base phone after two or
three calls. However, do not leave the handset off the base phone for a
long period of time as this will completely discharge the battery pack.
When to purchase a new battery pack
If the battery lasts only a few minutes even after 15-20 hours of charging,
the usable life of the battery has expired and needs replacement.
Contact Uniden Parts Department (see page 7), and ask for a BT-905
rechargeable battery pack.
Note
Battery life may vary depending on usage condition and ambient temperature.

• You may not be able to hear the other party’s voice in a noisy place.
Therefore, use the speakerphone in a quiet room.
• Do not bring your hand or other object too close to the microphone
or you will hear a shrill noise (“feedback”).
• When the speaker volume is loud, or the telephone has been placed
close to a wall, you may find that the volume drops suddenly. This is
due to a circuit in the telephone designed to protect against
feedback. In such cases, lower the speaker volume slightly.
