wall. Before doing this, consider the following:

• Avoid electrical cables, pipes, or other items behind the mounting location that
could cause a hazard when inserting screws into the wall.

• Try to mount your phone within 5 feet of a working phone jack to avoid excessive
lengths.

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

• Use #10 screws (minimum length of 1-3/8 inches) with anchoring devices suitable
for the wall material where the main base unit will be placed.

1) Insert two mounting screws into the wall, (with their

appropriate anchoring device), 3-15/16 inches apart. Allow
about 1/8 of an inch between the wall and screw heads for
mounting the phone.

2) Refer to steps 1 through 6 on page 14 to mount the telephone.

Caution! To reduce the risk of fire or injury to persons by the bat-

tery, read and follow these instructions:

1. Use only Uniden battery pack specified in the owner’s manual.

2. Do not dispose of the battery pack in a fire. The cell may explode.
Check the nickel-cadmium battery disposal package insert for dis­posal instructions.

3. Do not open or mutilate the battery pack. Released electrolyte is
corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic
if swallowed.

4. Exercise care in handling the battery in order not to short the bat-

tery with conducting materials such as rings, bracelets, and keys.
The battery or conductor may overheat and cause burns.

5. Charge the battery pack provided with or identified for use with this
product only in accordance with the instructions and limitations
specified in the owner’s manual provided for this product.

6. Observe proper polarity orientation between the battery pack and
battery charger.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

Important Electrical Considerations

Unplug all electrical appliances when you know an electrical storm is
approaching. Lightning can pass through your household wiring and
damage any device connected to it. This phone is no exception.

Warning!

Please do not attempt to unplug any appliance during an electrical
storm.

The FCC Wants You To Know

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. The equipment cannot be used on public coin phone service provid­ed by the telephone company. Connection to party line service is sub­ject to state tariffs. (Contact the state public utility commission, public
service commission or corporation commission for information.)

Range

Your new phone is designed to achieve the maximum possible range by
transmitting and receiving according to the highest specifications set
forth by the FCC. We have rated this phone to operate at a maximum
distance with the qualification that the range depends upon the envi­ronment in which the telephone is used. Many factors limit range, and it
would be impossible to include all the variables in our rating. The
Maximum Range rating of this phone is meant to be used as a means of
comparison against other range claims.

Telephone Line Problems

The FCC has granted the telephone company the right to disconnect ser­vice in the event that your phone causes problems on the telephone
line. Also, the telephone company may make changes in facilities and
services which may affect the operation of your unit. However, your
telephone company must give adequate notice in writing prior to such
actions to allow you time for making necessary arrangements to contin­ue uninterrupted service.
If you are having trouble with your telephone service, you must first
disconnect your phone to determine if it is the cause of your problem. If
you determine that it is the cause, you must leave it disconnected until
the trouble has been corrected.

Radio Interference

Radio interference may occasionally cause buzzing and humming in your
cordless handset, or clicking noises in the base. This interference is
caused by external sources such as TV, refrigerator, vacuum cleaner, flu­orescent lighting, or electrical storm. Your unit is NOT DEFECTIVE. If
these noises continue and are too distracting, please check around your
home to see what appliances may be causing the problem. In addition,

[ 45 ]

INFORMATION

ADDITIONAL

we recommend that the base not be plugged into a circuit that also
powers a major appliance because of the potential for interference. Be
certain that the antenna on the unit is fully extended when needed.
In the unlikely event that you consistently hear other voices or distract­ing transmissions on your phone, you may be receiving radio signals
from another cordless telephone or other source of interference. If you
cannot eliminate this type of interference, you need to change to a dif­ferent channel.
Finally, it should be noted that some cordless telephones operate at fre­quencies that may cause interference to nearby TVs and VCRs. To mini­mize or prevent such interference, the base of the cordless telephone
should not be placed near or on top of a TV or VCR. If interference is
experienced, moving the cordless telephone farther away from the TV or
VCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference.

More Than One Cordless Telephone

If you want to use more than one cordless telephone in your home, they
must operate on different channels. Press the channel key to select a
channel that provides the clearest communication.

Cordless Telephone Privacy

Cordless telephones are radio devices. Communications between the
handset and base of your cordless telephone are accomplished by means
of radio waves which are broadcast over the open airways. Because of
the inherent physical properties of radio waves, your communications
can be received by radio receiving devices other than your own cordless
telephone unit. Consequently, any communications using your cordless
telephone may not be private.

Installation Considerations

Selecting a Location

Before choosing a location for your new phone, there are some impor­tant guidelines you should consider:

• The location should be close to both a phone jack and continuous
power outlet. (A continuous power outlet is an AC outlet which does
not have a switch to interrupt its power.)

• Keep the base and handset away from sources of electrical noise
such as motors or fluorescent lighting.

• Be sure there is sufficient space to fully extend the base antenna.

• The base can be placed on a desk or tabletop or mounted on a stan-

dard telephone wall plate.

• You should charge your new phone for 15-20 hours before complet­ing the installation or using the handset.

Telephone Line Outlets

There are two types of phone outlets:

Modular Jack

Most phone equipment available now uses modular jacks. Phone cords
are fitted with a molded plastic connector which plugs into this type of
jack. If you do not have modular phone jacks, contact your local tele­phone company for information about their installation.

Hardwired Jack

Some equipment is wired directly to a phone jack, and these types of
installations require a modular jack converter. This type of installation is
not difficult; however, you should contact your Uniden telephone dealer
or a telephone supply store for advice about the proper adapter or con-

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION[ 46 ]

verter for your particular situation.

Connecting the Telephone Cords

Consider these safety guidelines before connecting the telephone cords:

Caution!

• Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.

• Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the tele­phone line has been disconnected.

• Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.

Applying Power to the Base

This phone requires an AC outlet, without a switch to interrupt power,
and the included AC adapter. To relieve strain on the DC plug when the
phone is placed on a desk or table, wrap the power cord around the
strain relief notch on the bottom of the base.

NOTE: Place the power cord so that it does not create a trip

hazard, or where it could become chafed and create a fire
or other electrical hazards.

Adapter Safety Features

If the AC adapter furnished with this phone has a polarized line plug (a
plug having one blade wider than the other), this plug will fit into the
power outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully
into the outlet, try reversing the plug.

Do not alter the shape of the blades of the polarized plug!

NOTE: If you cannot plug the AC adapter into the outlet, con-

tact someone about replacing the outlet.

Plug the AC Adapter into a standard 120 VAC wall outlet.

Do not use an outlet controlled by a wall switch.

Use only the Uniden AC Adapter supplied with this phone.

vice.
