4) Place the handset in the base with the keypad facing forward. 

NOTE: For optimum performance use only the Uniden Battery

(BT-904) supplied with your phone.

Low Battery Alert

When the battery pack is very low and needs to be charged, the phone is programmed to
eliminate functions in order to save power. If the phone is not in use, the 

talk/batt low

LED

flashes when the battery pack is low.
If the phone is in use, the 

talk/batt low

LED flashes and the handset beeps. Complete your

conversation as quickly as possible and return the handset to the base for charging.

NOTE:

Even when the battery pack is not being used, it will gradually discharge over a 

long period of time. For optimum performance, be sure to return the handset to the 
base unit after each telephone call.

Dial mode setting, last number dialed and numbers stored in memory locations
(including RocketDial), are retained for up to 1 minute while you replace the
battery pack.

Cleaning the battery charging contacts

To maintain a good charge, it is important to clean the charging contacts on the
handset once a month.
Using water only, dampen a cloth to clean the charging
contacts. Then make sure to go back over the charging
contacts with a dry cloth before returning the handset to the
base to charge.
Caution: Do not use paint thinner, benzene, alcohol, or other
chemical products. Doing so may discolor the surface of the
telephone and damage the finish.

C. Connect the base unit

1) Connect the AC adapter to the 

DC IN 9V

jack

and a standard 120V AC wall outlet.

2) Set the base unit on a desk or tabletop, and

place the handset in the base unit.

3) Make sure the 

charge/in use

LED illuminates. 

If the LED does not illuminate, check to see that
the AC adapter is plugged in and the handset
makes good contact with the base charging
contacts.

NOTICE
