When using your telephone equipment, always follow basic safety precautions to 

reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to persons, including the following: 

This unit is NOT waterproof. DO NOT expose this unit to rain or moisture.
Do not use this product near water, for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, 

kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement or near a swimming pool. 
Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. 

There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning. 
Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak. 
Use only the power cord and batteries indicated in this manual. Do not dispose of

Battery cover

Fully charged, the battery should provide about 5 hours of talk time and about 6 days of standby 

time. For best results, return the handset to the cradle after each call to keep it fully charged. 

Keep an eye on the battery status icon. When the battery gets too low, the handset shows a low 

battery alert. If you hear a strange beep during a call, check the display: if you see the low battery 

alert, finish your conversation as quickly as possible and return the handset to the cradle. If the 

handset is in standby, none of the keys will operate.

With normal use, the battery should last about one year. Replace the battery when the talk time 

becomes short even when the battery is charged. To buy a replacement battery, call the Parts 

Department listed on the front cover. 

This equipment contains a rechargeable nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) battery.

Cadmium and Nickel are chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer.

Do not short-circuit the battery.

The rechargeable Ni-Cd battery contained in this equipment may explode if disposed of in a fire.

Do not charge the battery used in this equipment in any charger other than the one designed to 

charge this battery as specified in the owner's manual. Using another charger  

may damage the battery or cause it to explode.

As part of our commitment to protecting our environment and conserving 

natural resources, Uniden voluntarily participates in an RBRC® industry program 

to collect and recycle used Ni-Cd batteries within the United States. Please call 

1-800-8-BATTERY for information on Ni-Cd battery recycling in your area.
