•If you are not sure of
your dialing system,
make a trial call. If the
call connects, leave
the setting as is.

pulse dialing.
•If your phone system
requires pulse dialing
and you need to send
DTMF tones during a
call, you can
temporarily switch
over to tone dialing.
(Refer to “Tone Dialing
Switch-over” on
page 12).
GETTING STARTED
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:
• 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 cord lengths.
• Make sure the wall material is capable of supporting the weight
of the base and handset.
• Use #10 screws (minimum length of 1-3/8 inches) with
anchoring devices suitable for the wall material where the 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 8 on page 8 to mount the telephone.
E. Choose the Dialing Mode
Most phone systems use tone dialing. However some phone systems (such as in rural areas)
still use pulse dialing. Your Uniden phone supports both tone and pulse dialing. The default
setting is tone dialing. If your phone system uses pulse dialing, follow the steps below to
change the dialing mode:
1) In standby mode, press and hold the remote key until you hear a confirmation tone.
