SELECTING A LOCATION
Before choosing a location for your new phone, read the
INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS included in the PRECAUTIONS AND
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS brochure. Here are some
important guidelines you should consider:
The location should be close to
both a phone jack and a
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 and fluorescent
lighting.
Be sure there is sufficient space to rotate the base antenna
fully vertical.
The base can be placed on a desk, tabletop or mounted on a standard
wall plate.
You should charge your handset for 15-20 hours before connecting the
phone line.
If your second phone line has a separate jack, place your phone so you
can access both jacks.
AND ADJUSTING YOUR PHONE
INSTALLING

hazard.
Use only the Uniden AC
adapter supplied with
this phone. DO NOT use
an outlet controlled by a
wall switch.
DESK/TABLETOP INSTALLATION
1. Plug the AC adapter cord into the 10V DC
input jack on the back of the base.
2. Wrap the AC adapter cord around the strain
relief notch.
3. Plug the AC adapter into a standard 120V AC wall outlet.
4. Charge the battery (refer to CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK,

t 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
l
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
l
jack to avoid excessive cord lengths.
Make sure the wall material is capable of supporting the weight of
l
the base and handset.
Use #10 screws (minimum length of 1-3/8 inches) with anchoring
l
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.
2.
Refer to steps 1 through 9 on page 6 and 7
to mount the telephone.
