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.
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.
