Rechargeable Nickel-Cadmium 
Batteries Must Be Recycled or

useful life, when taken out of service within the United States. 
The RBRC® program provides a convenient alternative to placing 
used nickel-cadmium batteries into the trash or municipal waste 
stream, which is illegal in some areas.

•Through the RBRC® program, Uniden makes it easy for you to 

drop off the used battery at local retailers of replacement nickel-
cadmium batteries. You may also contact your local recycling 
center for information on where to return the used battery. 
Please call 1-800-8-BATTERY for information on Ni-Cd battery 
recycling in your area. Uniden's involvement in this program is 
part of its commitment to protecting our environment and

The FCC Wants You To Know

This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the 
requirements adopted by the ACTA. On the bottom of this 
equipment is a label that contains, among other information, a 
product identifier in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, 
this number must be provided to the telephone company.
An applicable Universal Service Order Codes (USOC) certification 
for the jacks used in this equipment is provided (i.e., RJ11C) in 
the packaging with each piece of approved terminal equipment.
A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises 
wiring and telephone network must comply with the applicable 
FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA. A 
compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this 

product. It is designed to be connected to a compatible modular 
jack that is also compliant. See installation instructions for 
details.
The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be 
connected 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 
five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be 
connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the 
local telephone company. For products approved after July 23, 
2001, the REN for this product is part of the product identifier 
that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by 
## are the REN without a decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3). 
For earlier products, the REN is separately shown on the label.
If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the 
telephone company will notify you in advance that temporary 
discontinuance of service may be required. But if advance notice 
isn’t practical, the telephone company will notify the customer as 
soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your right to file a 
complaint with the FCC if you believe it is necessary.
The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, 
equipment, operations or procedures that could affect the 
operation of the equipment. If this happens the telephone 
company will provide advance notice in order for you to make 
necessary modifications to maintain uninterrupted service.
Please follow instructions for repairing, if any (e.g. battery 
replacement section); otherwise do not substitute or repair any 
parts of the device except as specified in this manual.
Connection to party line service is subject to state tariffs. Contact 
the state public utility commission, public service commission or 
corporation commission for information. This equipment is 
hearing aid compatible.
Should you experience trouble with this equipment, please 
contact Uniden customer service at 800-297-1023. If the 
equipment is causing harm to the telephone network, the 
telephone company may request that you disconnect the 
equipment until the problem is resolved.

NOTICE: According to telephone company reports, AC electrical 
surges, typically resulting from lightning strikes, are very 
destructive to telephone equipment connected to AC power 
sources. To minimize damage from these types of surges, a surge 
arrestor is recommended.
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 owner's manual, could void your authority to 
operate this product.
