Most phone systems use tone dialing which sends DTMF tones through the
phone lines. However some phone systems still use pulse dialing such as in
rural areas. The default setting is tone dialing. Depending on your dialing
system, set the mode as follows:
If your dialing system is Set the switch to

tones for certain situations during a call, you may “switch-over” to tone
dialing. (Refer to “Tone Dialing Switch-over” on page 19.)

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.

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

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.

collect and recycle nickel-cadmium batteries at the end of their
useful life, when taken out of service within the United States.
Changes or modifications to this product not expressly approved by
Uniden, or operation of this product in any way other than as
detailed by the owner’s manual, could void your authority to operate
this product. The equipment cannot be used on public coin phone

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.
