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 main base
and handset.
• Use #10 screws (minimum length of 1-3/8 inches) with anchoring devices suitable
for the wall material where the main 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 6 on page 14 to mount the telephone.

Choosing the dialing mode
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:
• Make sure your bat-
tery pack is fully
charged before choos-
ing the dial mode.
1) When the phone is in the standby mode, press and hold
cid/menu. The following screen appears.
• Dialing mode can
only be changed from
handset 1.
2) Press 4 or press
three times to select ¨Dial¨.
To confirm which
handset is HS1, look
at the display
indicating “HS1” or
“HS2”.
3) Press select/channel to toggle between ¨Tone¨ and ¨Pulse¨
for each setting.
4) Press end and return the handset to the main base unit. The handset returns to
the standby mode.
• If you are not sure of your dialing system, set for tone dialing. Make a trial call. If the
call connects, leave the setting as is, otherwise set for pulse dialing.
• If your phone system requires pulse dialing and you need to send the DTMF tones for
certain situations during a call, you may "switch-over" to tone dialing. (Refer to "Tone
Dialing Switch-over" on page 21.)

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION [ 61 ]
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.
In the unlikely event that you consistently hear other voices or distract-
ing 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 dif-
ferent channel.
Finally, it should be noted that some cordless telephones operate at fre-
quencies that may cause interference to nearby TVs and VCRs. To mini-
mize 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.

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 LIMIT-
ED 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 LIM-
ITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER OR PRO-
VIDE FOR THE REIMBURSEMENT OR PAYMENT OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSE-
QUENTIAL DAMAGES. Some states do not allow this exclusion or limita-
tion of incidental or consequential damages so the above limitation or
exclusion may not apply to you.
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 tele-
phone line has been disconnected.
•
Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
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.
More Than One Cordless Telephone
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.
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.

PROCEDURE FOR OBTAINING PERFORMANCE OF WARRANTY: If, after fol-
lowing the instructions in the owner’s manual you are certain that the
Product is defective, pack the Product carefully (preferably in its origi-
nal packaging). The Product should include all parts and accessories
originally packaged with the Product. Include evidence of original pur-
chase and a note describing the defect that has caused you to return it.
The Product should be shipped freight prepaid, by traceable means, to

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.
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.
Do not alter the shape of the blades of the polarized plug!
NOTE:
If you cannot plug the AC adapter into the outlet, con-
tact someone about replacing the outlet.
Uniden America Corporation
Installation Considerations
Plug the AC Adapter into a standard 120 VAC wall outlet.
Do not use an outlet controlled by a wall switch.

Selecting a Location
Before choosing a location for your new phone, there are some impor-
tant guidelines you should consider:
Use only the Uniden AC Adapter supplied with this phone.
•
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.
One Year Limited Warranty
•
Important:Evidence of original purchase is required for warranty ser-
vice.
•
•
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 stan-
dard telephone wall plate.
You should charge your new phone for 15-20 hours before complet-
ing the installation or using the handset.

ELEMENTS OF WARRANTY: Uniden warrants, for one year, to the original
retail owner, this Uniden Product to be free from defects in materials

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 main-
tained as reasonable or necessary, (B) modified, altered, or used as part

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 tele-
phone company for information about their installation.
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 con-
