Direct wall plate 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 10 - 15 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 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 3/16 of an inch between the wall and screwheads for mounting the phone.

Battery use time (per charge)

From fully charged

• Four hours coutinuous use.

• Seven days when the handset is in the standby mode.

Even when the battery pack is not being used, it will gradually discharge over a long period. For optimum performance, be sure to return the handset to the base unit after a telephone call for charging the battery.

Rechargeable batteries have a memory effect that reduces standby and talk time. To avoid this memory effect, on a monthly basis, use the phone until “Low Battery” appears. Then charge the battery for more than 17 hours.

Please visit your authorized Uniden dealer to obtain an extra battery pack or contact the Uniden parts department at (800) 554 - 3988. Hours are from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Central time, Monday through Fryday.

When the battery charge becomes low

Low Battery” appears on the LCD, and if the phone is in use,

the handset beeps. Complete your conversation as quickly as possible and return the handset to the base unit for charging.

Cleaning the battery contacts

To maintain a good charge, it is important to clean the battery contacts on the handset and base unit about once a month. Use a pencil eraser or other contact cleaner.

Do not use liquids or solvents.

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 charging contacts are facing up.

2. Slide the battery pack into

the charging compartment until it locks into place.

3. Charge the battery for more than 24 hours.

To install the charged battery into the handset, see Preparing the battery pack, page 9.

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