note

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

2) Press the # key to set your phone for pulse dialing. You will hear a confirmation tone.

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 hand set, or clic king 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 d istracting, please check around
your home to see what appliances may be causing the problem.
In addition, 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 antenna on the un it is fully extended.
In the unlikely event tha t you consistently hear other vo ices or
distracting transmissions on your phone, you may be receiving radio
signals from another cordless telephone or other source of interference.
If you cannot elimina te 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 t o 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 o ne cordless telephone in your ho me, they
must operate on different channels. Press the delete/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 telep hone 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 privat e.

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 ou tlet. (A c ontinuous p ower out let is an AC outlet w hich 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.

• The base can be placed on a desk or tabletop or mounted on a standard
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
converter 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 relie f notch on t he back 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.
