Installing the Phone Choosing the Best Location When choosing a location for your new phone, here are some important guidelines you should consider: PLACE YOUR BASE TRY TO AVOID Installing the Phone • Microwave ovens • Refrigerators Near an AC outlet and a telephone wall jack. • TVs • Other electronics In a centrally-located open area.
Installing the Battery Use only the Uniden BT-1011 rechargeable battery pack supplied with your cordless telephone. Locate the battery pack, battery cover and the handset. Line up the red and black wires on the battery pack connector with the sticker in the handset’s battery compartment. Battery cover Place the cover over the battery compartment and slide it up into place. Handset Installing the Phone Battery pack Push the battery pack connector in firmly. (You should hear it click into place.
Connecting the AC adapter To the base To avoid risk of fire and shock, only use the Uniden PS-0009 AC adapter with the base. Installing the Phone Connect the AC adapter to the DC IN 9V jack on the bottom of the base. Connect the AC adapter to a standard 120V AC wall outlet. Don’t put any power cord where it people might trip over it or step on it. If a power cord becomes chafed or worn out, it can create a fire or electrical hazard.
Charging the Handset Place the handset in the base cradle with the display facing forward. Make sure that the charge LED illuminates when the handset is seated. What if the charge LED doesn’t light up? Reseat the handset; make sure the contacts on the bottom of the handset are lined up with the contacts in the cradle. Check the AC adapter connection. Make sure you are not using an outlet that s controlled by a wall switch. Make sure that the charge LED illuminates when the handset is seated.
Connecting to the Phone Line Make sure that the battery pack is fully charged. Connect the telephone cord to the TEL LINE jack on the bottom of the base. Connect the telephone cord to a telephone wall jack. Installing the Phone Route the cord through the molded wiring channel. What if CHECK TEL LINE appears on the handset display? The telephone cord may not be connected correctly. Check the telephone cord connection.
Testing the Connection Pick up the handset from the cradle and press [ /flash]. You should hear a dial tone, and the display should show TALK. What if I can’t hear a dial tone? Check the telephone cord connection on the base. What if the display doesn’t show TALK? Make a quick test call, and then press [ ] to hang up.
Installing the Phone Changing the dial mode Your phone can communicate with the telephone network in two different ways: tone dialing or pulse dialing. These days, most base networks use a method called tone dialing, so your phone comes programmed for tone dialing. If your phone company uses pulse dialing, you will need to change your phone’s dial mode.
Expanding Your Phone Adding accessory handsets Your phone supports a total of six cordless handsets, including any that were supplied with your phone. You can now place a fully-featured cordless handset anywhere AC power is available to connect the charging cradle. • Your phone is compatible with the following Uniden DECT6.0 accessory handsets: DCX200, DCX300 and DWX207. (Please visit our website at www.uniden.com for the most up-to-date list of compatible handsets.

Using Multiple Bases Installing the Phone The handsets supplied with your phone (or any DCX300 accessory handsets) can be registered to a total of four different bases.
Selecting the base Note: You cannot change bases during a call. 14 Installing the Phone When your handset is registered to another base, it will automatically connect to the base. A base ID (that is for the handset only) will be assigned in the order of registration. You can either select a base you want to use manually, or set to AUTO.
