Features

Congratulations on your purchase of the Uniden Digital Expandable Cordless Telephone System! This is a "Corded/Cordless" Telephone unit. The corded handset (on base) can make/ receive calls during power failure. When the base unit is connected to AC power and a telephone line, it can support up to four cordless handsets. You can now place a fully- featured cordless handset anywhere in your home or office where AC power is available to connect the handset chargers. Extra handsets also allow you to establish a 4- way conference call among two handsets, the base speakerphone, and an outside line.

Note: Illustrations in this manual are used for explanation purposes. Some illustrations in this manual may differ from the actual unit.

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 1.5m of a working phone jack to avoid

excessive lengths. Make sure the wall material is capable of supporting the weight of the base and

handset. Use #10 screws (minimum length of 35 mm) 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 anchors). 100mm apart. Allow about 3mm between the wall and screw heads for mounting the phone.

2) Refer to steps 1 through 10 on page 14 to mount the telephone.
