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 5 feet 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 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 apart.
Allow about 1/8 of an inch between the wall and screw heads for
mounting the phone.
2) Refer to steps 1 through 7 on page 15 to mount the telephone.

Some telephone companies use equipment that requires 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. This feature is useful when you need
tone dialing to use automated systems, for example, entering
your bank account number after you have called your bank.

Telephone Line Problems
Installation Considerations
One Year Limited Warranty
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 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.
Selecting a Location
Important: Evidence of original purchase is required for warranty service.
Before choosing a location for your new phone, there are some
important guidelines you should consider:
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.
•
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.
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.
•
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.
•
•
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.
•
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 antenna on the unit is fully extended.
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.
Telephone Line Outlets
There are two types of phone outlets:
Modular Jack
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.
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.
Hardwired Jack
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.
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.
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.
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 and Canada.
•
Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
Applying Power to the Base
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:
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 back 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 communications using your cordless
telephone may not be private.
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.
