your alarm equipment.  
Before choosing a location for your new phone, read the INSTALLATION  
CONSIDERATIONS included in the PRECAUTIONS. Here are some important guidelines you  
should consider:  
Avoid heat sources, such as radiators,  
Avoid noise sources such as a window  
air ducts, and sunlight  
by a street with heavy traffic  
Avoid television sets and other  
electronic equipment  
Avoid microwave ovens  
If you have questions  
about what will disable  
your alarm equipment,

Choose a central location  
Avoid personal computers  
Avoid other cordless telephones  
The location should be close to both a phone jack and a continuous power outlet  
which is not switchable.  
Keep the base and each handset away from sources of electrical noise such as motors,  
microwave ovens, and fluorescent lighting.  
Be sure there is sufficient space to raise the base antenna to a vertical position.  
The base can be placed on a desk, tabletop, or mounted on a standard wall plate.

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.

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.  
This special number  
can be stored in a  
memory location. This  
is referred to as Chain  
Dialing. (See page 29.)  
Initially make your call with the pulse dialing mode. Once your call connects, press the  
/tone/  
key. Enter the desired number. These digits will be sent as tone dialing.  
*
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 1 minute.

Important Electrical Considerations  
Unplug all electrical appliances when you know an electrical storm is  
approaching. Lightning can pass through your household wiring and  
damage any device connected to it. This phone is no exception.  
Uniden voluntarily participates in an RBRC® industry program to  
collect and recycle nickel-cadmium batteries at the end of their  
useful life, when taken out of service within the United States.  
The RBRC® program provides a convenient alternative to placing  
used nickel-cadmium batteries into the trash or municipal waste  
stream, which is illegal in some areas.  
Through the RBRC® program, Uniden makes it easy for you to drop  
off the used battery at local retailers of replacement nickel-cadmium  
batteries. You may also contact your local recycling center for  
information on where to return the used battery. Please call 1-800-  
8-BATTERY for information on Ni-Cd battery recycling in your area.  
Uniden's involvement in this program is part of its commitment to  
protecting our environment and conserving natural resources.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION [ 47 ]  
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 owners 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 owners 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.
