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 (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), 1/8 inches apart. Allow  
about 3/16 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 7 on page 11 to mount the  
telephone.

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 sent using DTMF tones.  
Initially make your call with the pulse dialing mode. Once your call connects,  
The tone feature only  
applies when the dial  
mode is set to pulse.  
press  
. Enter the desired number (like in the 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 26). Once the call ends, the tone mode is canceled and  
pulse dialing mode resumes.  
Traveling Out-of-Range  
During a call, as you begin to move your handset too far from your base  
unit, noise increases. If you pass the range limits of the base unit, your  
call will terminate within 30 seconds.  
Selecting a Different Channel  
If you encounter interference while using your phone, you can manually change  
the phone´s channel for clear operation. Interference can come from appliances or  
other phones in your home. This function works only when the phone is in use.  
During the course of a conversation, if you hear static or noise which makes it  
difficult to hear, press  
. “Scanning” appears on the display,  
indicating the phone is changing to another channel. For more information on  
interference, refer to “Technical Information” on page 45.

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.  
Radio Interference  
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.  
More Than One Cordless Telephone  
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.  
Cordless Telephone Privacy  
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  
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.  
Finally, it should be noted that some cordless  
telephones operate at frequencies that may  
cause interference to nearby TVs and VCRs. To  
communications using your cordless telephone  
may not be private.

Radio Interference  
Telephone Line Outlets  
One Year Limited Warranty  
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.  
There are two types of phone outlets:  
Important:Evidence of original purchase is required for warranty  
Modular Jack  
service.  
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.  
WARRANTOR: UNIDEN AMERICA CORPORATION (“Uniden”)  
ELEMENTS OF WARRANTY: Uniden warrants, for one year, to the  
original retail owner, this Uniden Product to be free from defects in  
materials and craftsmanship with only the limitations or exclusions  
set out below.  
Hardwired Jack  
WARRANTY DURATION: This warranty to the original user shall  
terminate and be of no further effect 12 months after the date of  
original retail sale. The warranty is invalid if the Product is (A)  
damaged or not maintained as reasonable or necessary, (B)  
modified, altered, or used as part of any conversion kits,  
subassemblies, or any configurations not sold by Uniden, (C)  
improperly installed, (D) serviced or repaired by someone other  
than an authorized Uniden service center for a defect or  
malfunction covered by this warranty, (E) used in any conjunction  
with equipment or parts or as part of any system not manufactured  
by Uniden, or (F) installed or programmed by anyone other than as  
detailed by the owner’s manual for this product.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
STATEMENT OF REMEDY: In the event that the product does not  
conform to this warranty at any time while this warranty is in  
effect, warrantor will either, at its option, repair or replace the  
defective unit and return it to you without charge for parts,  
service, or any other cost (except shipping and handling) incurred  
by warrantor or its representatives in connection with the  
performance of this warranty. Warrantor, at its option, may replace  
the unit with a new or refurbished unit. THE LIMITED WARRANTY  
SET FORTH ABOVE IS THE SOLE AND ENTIRE WARRANTY PERTAINING  
TO THE PRODUCT AND IS IN LIEU OF AND EXCLUDES ALL OTHER  
WARRANTIES OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER, WHETHER EXPRESS,  
IMPLIED OR ARISING BY OPERATION OF LAW, INCLUDING, BUT NOT  
LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR  
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT  
COVER OR PROVIDE FOR THE REIMBURSEMENT OR PAYMENT OF  
INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. Some states do not  
allow this exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential  
damages so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.  
More Than One Cordless Telephone  
Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.  
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.  
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 relief notch on the bottom of the base.  
Cordless Telephone Privacy  
Cordless telephones are radio devices. Communications between the  
handset and base of your cordless telephone 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  
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.  
Adapter Safety Features  
communications using your cordless telephone may not be private.  
If the AC adapter furnished with this phone  
has a polarized line plug (a plug having one  
blade wider than the other), this plug will fit  
into the power outlet only one way. If you  
are unable to insert the plug fully into the  
outlet, try reversing the plug.  
Installation Considerations  
Selecting a Location  
LEGAL REMEDIES: This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and  
you may also have other rights which vary from state to state. This  
warranty is void outside the United States of America.  
Before choosing a location for your new phone, there are some  
important guidelines you should consider:  
Do not alter the shape of the blades of the polarized plug!  
The location should be close to both a phone jack and  
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 or fluorescent lighting.  
Be sure there is sufficient space to fully extend the base  
antenna.  
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.  
PROCEDURE FOR OBTAINING PERFORMANCE OF WARRANTY: If, after  
following the instructions in the owner’s manual you are certain  
that the Product is defective, pack the Product carefully (preferably  
in its original packaging). The Product should include all parts and  
accessories originally packaged with the Product. Include evidence  
of original purchase and a note describing the defect that has  
caused you to return it. The Product should be shipped freight  
prepaid, by traceable means, to warrantor at:  
NOTE:  
If you cannot plug the AC adapter into the outlet,  
contact someone about replacing the outlet.  
Plug the AC Adapter into a standard 120 VAC wall outlet.  
Do not use an outlet controlled by a wall switch.  
Use only the Uniden AC Adapter supplied with this  
phone.
