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.  
Caution: Changes or modifications to this product not expressly approved by  
Uniden, or operation of this product in any way other than as detailed  
by this Operating Guide, could void your authority to operate 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.  
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 Unit. 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.

Installation  
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.  
Note: A continuous power outlet is an AC outlet which does not have a  
switch to interrupt its power.  
Keep the Base Unit 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 Unit antenna.  
The Base Unit can be placed on a desk or tabletop or mounted on a  
standard AT&T or GTE wall plate.  
If you decide to mount your phone on the wall, make sure to change the  
Handset Retainer so that the tab which holds the Handset faces up. (See  
page 19 for more information.)  
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.  
Hard-wired 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 Unit  
All the XCA650 phones require 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, connect the adapter as shown below.  
+
+
Wrap the power cord around the convenient  
notch on the bottom.  
Important: 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.

Adapter Safety Feature  
The AC Adapter furnished with this phone may be equipped with a polarized  
line plug — a plug having one blade wider than the other. This plug will fit  
into the power outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully  
into the outlet, try reversing the plug.  
Do not alter the shape of the  
blades of the polarized plug.

Direct Wall Mounting  
If you do not have a standard wall plate, you can mount your phone directly  
on a wall. Before mounting your phone, consider the following:  
Select a location away from electrical cables, pipes, or other items behind  
the mounting location that could cause a hazard when inserting screws into  
the wall.  
Make sure the wall material is capable of supporting the weight of the Base  
Unit and Handset.  
Use #10 screws with anchoring devices suitable for the wall material where  
the Base Unit will be placed.

Charging the Battery Pack  
Initial Battery Charging  
The rechargeable Nickel-Cadmium battery pack must be fully charged  
before using your phone for the first time. We recommend that the battery  
pack charge for approximately 15-20 hours, without interruption, before  
plugging the phone line into your new phone.  
1.  
Place the Handset on the Base  
Unit.

Hang the Handset on the cradle  
when the phone is mounted on

Make sure the charge LED  
lights. If the LED doesn’t light,  
check to see that the AC  
Adapter is plugged in, and that  
the Handset is making good  
contact with the Base Unit  
charging contacts.  
Low Battery Indicator  
When the Battery Pack in the  
Handset is very low and needs  
to be charged, the talk/batt low  
LED flashes.  
Battery Memory Effect  
Rechargeable batteries can develop a "memory" (reduced charge capacity)  
caused by repeated charge and discharge cycles. The battery life will seem  
to be shorter every time you use the unit.  
To Avoid Memory Effect  
At least once a month, operate the unit until the "Battery Low" indicator  
appears. Avoid "topping off" the charge after using the phone for a short  
time. Also, do not charge the Rechargeable Battery for extended periods of  
time.

VOX/Calling Party Control Feature  
The Calling Party Control (CPC) feature sets your Answering System to  
disconnect and reset if the caller hangs up before leaving a message. This  
prevents your Answering System from using recording time to record a hang  
up/dial tone message.  
Setting the Toll Saver Switch  
The Ring Number/Toll Saver switch allows you to set the number of rings  
the caller hears before your Answering System answers. You can set the  
switch to answer after 2 rings or after 4 rings. In the TS (Toll Saver) position,  
the Answering System answers after two rings if you have messages  
recorded, and it answers after four rings if there are no messages. So if you  
call long distance to check your messages, you can hang up after the  
second ring and not be billed.
