▼ Direct wall mounting

If you don't have a standard wall plate, you can mount your phone directly to the wall. Before doing this, consider the following:

●Select a location away from electrical cables, pipes, or other items behind the mounting location that could cause a hazard when inserting the screws into the wall.

●Mount your phone near a working phone jack to avoid excessive cord lengths

●Make sure the wall material is capable of supporting the weight of the base and the handset.

Be careful not to insert the mounting screws into possible electrical hazards such as cables, wiring, or pipes.

CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK

▼ Initial battery charging

Before connecting your the phone for the first time, fully charge the rechargeable battery pack for 15-20 hours without interruption.

1. Place the handset on the base.

2. Make sure that status LED lights.

If the LED doesn’t light, be sure the AC adapter is plugged in and the handset makes good contact with the base charging contacts.

▼ Charging optional battery packs

The base of your phone is equipped with a compartment for charging an extra battery pack for use in your handset. You can obtain an extra battery pack from your authorized Uniden dealer.

1.Position the battery pack so the contacts are face up.

2.Slide the battery pack into

the charging compartment until it locks into place.

3.Charge the battery for 24 hours. When charging is complete, lift the latch to remove the battery pack. To install the charged battery into the handset, see INSTALLING THE HANDSET BATTERY PACK, page 10.

In the event of a power failure, your spare battery pack temporarily provides power for the base so you can still use your phone.

Low Battery

Most phone systems use tone dialing. Check with your local phone company if you’re not sure whether your system is tone or pulse.

▼ Low battery indicator

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

If the phone is in use, Low Battery flashes and the handset beeps.

All rechargeable nickel-cadmium batteries develop a “memory effect”. The memory effect gradually reduces your talk and standby time.

▼ To avoid Memory Effect

On a monthly basis, use the phone until the Low Battery indicator flashes on the handset. Then charge the battery for 15-20 hours.

With normal usage, your battery should last about one year.
