DDiirreecctt wwaallll mmoouunnttiinngg

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 6-10 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 apar t. Allow about 1/8 of an inch between the wall and
screwheads for mounting the phone.

2) Set the retainer clip if necessary.

3) Refer to steps 1 through 9 on page 10 to mount the telephone.

Setting Caller ID Options

There are three Caller ID setup options available; they are AutoTalk, CIDCW (Caller ID on Call Waiting), and Area
Code. See page 12 for Area Code setup instructions.

AutoTalk allows you to answer the phone without pressing line 1 or line 2.

If the phone rings when AutoTalk is on, simply remove the handset from the base and the phone automatically
answers the call. Or if the handset is not on the base, press any key to answer the call. If the phone rings when

AutoTalk is off, you must press line 1 or line 2 to answer the call.

Tone Dialing Switch-over

Some telephone companies use equipment that require pulse dialing (sometimes referred to
as rotary dialing). If you need to enter tone dialing digits, you can switch-over to tone
dialing during the call. An example of this could be entering your bank account number after
you have called your bank. The digits of your bank account can be entered using DTMF tones.
Initially make your call with the pulse dialing mode. Once your call connects, press
number (like in example above the bank account number). These digits will be sent as tone dialing. This special
number can be stored in a memory location. This is referred to as Chain Dialing (See page 22). Once the call
ends, the tone mode is canceled and pulse dialing mode resumes.

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.) Below is some information that might concern
you while using your new phone.

RRaannggee

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.

TTeelleepphhoonnee LLiinnee PPrroobblleemmss

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

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION[ 32 ]

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.

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.

MMoorree TThhaann OOnnee CCoorrddlleessss TTeelleepphhoonnee

RRaaddiioo IInntteerrffeerreennccee

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, 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.

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.

CCoorrddlleessss TTeelleepphhoonnee PPrriivvaaccyy

Cordless telephones are radio devices. Communications
between the handset and base of your cordless telephone are
accomplished by means of radio waves which are broadcasted
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.
