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. 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 fac-
tors 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
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, vacu-
um cleaner, fluorescent lighting or electrical storm. Your unit is NOT DEFECTIVE. If these noises contin-
ue 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, press the channel key to select a channel that provides the
clearest communication.
Finally, it should be noted that some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause interfer-
ence to nearby TVs and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference, the base of the cordless tele-
phone 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 chan-
nels. 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 cord-
less 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.
