Setting up the Phone  
Do the following steps:  
A. Choose the best location  
B. Install the battery pack  
About the digital security code  
C. Connect the base unit  
D. Choose the dial mode  
This cordless telephone uses a digital  
security code to prevent unauthorized  
access to your base unit. This security  
code prevents other cordless handsets  
from making calls through your base unit.  
A random security code will be assigned  
automatically between your base unit and  
handset when you charge the battery pack  
for the first time. If you want to reset the  
security code, see page 32.  
A. Choose the best location  
Before choosing a location for your new phone, read the INSTALLATION  
CONSIDERATIONS included in the PRECAUTIONS AND IMPORTANT SAFETY  
INSTRUCTIONS brochure. Here are some important guidelines you  
should consider:  
Avoid heat sources, such as rradiators,  
air ducts, and sunlight  
Avoid noise sources such as a window  
by a street with heavy traffic  
Avoid television sets and  
other electronic equipment  
Avoid microwave ovens  
Avoid excessive moisture, extremely  
low temperatures, dust, mechanical  
vibration, or shock  
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 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.

B. Install the battery pack  
Charge the battery pack for at least 15-20 hours before plugging the telephone jack  
and start using your phone.  
1)Press in on the battery cover release and slide the cover down until it comes off.  
Use only the Uniden

available through  
the Uniden Parts  
Department (see  
page 4).  
2)Connect the battery pack connector observing correct polarity (black and red wires) to  
the jack inside the battery compartment.  
Do not exert any force on this connection. It could cause damage to the battery or  
handset. Once you are certain that you have made a good connection, then insert the  
battery pack into the battery compartment. Do not pinch the wires.  
3)Securely close the battery compartment cover by sliding it up until it snaps into place.  
4)Place the handset on the base. Remove the beltclip, if attached, for face up charging.

D. Choose the dial mode  
Most phone systems use tone dialing which sends DTMF tones through the phone line. 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  
battery pack is fully  
charged before  
choosing the dial  
mode.  
1)Press and hold  
flash  
until you hear a confirmation tone.  
The current setting appears next to Dial Mode.  
2)To set the dial mode for pulse dialing, press # . Or to set the dial  
mode for tone dialing, press /tone  
A confirmation tone sounds to indicate the setting is complete.  
.
*
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 DTMF tones for certain situations during a  
call, you may "switch-over" to tone dialing. (Refer to "Tone Dialing Switch-over" on page 12.)

Mounting the Base Unit on a Wall  
Setting the handset retainer clip for wall mounting  
1)On the base unit, pull the handset retainer clip out of the slot and rotate it clock-  
wise 180 degrees.  
2)Flip the retainer clip from front to back. Slide it back into the slot so that the lip  
of the retainer is up and the M is down. The retainer holds the handset in place.  
DO NOT use an  
outlet controlled by  
a wall switch.  
Standard wall plate mounting  
This phone can be mounted on any standard wall plate.  
1)Snap the wall mount adapter into the notches on the base.  
2)Plug the AC adapter to the DC IN 9V jack.  
3)Wrap the AC adapter cord inside the molded wiring channel as shown.  
4)Plug the AC adapter into a standard 120V AC wall outlet.  
5)Place the handset on the base and charge for 15-20 hours.  
6)Plug the telephone line cord into the TEL LINE jack. Wrap the cord  
inside the molded wiring channel as shown.  
7)Plug the telephone line cord into the telephone outlet.  
8)Raise the antenna to a vertical position.  
9)Align the mounting slots on the base with the mounting posts on the  
wall. Then push in and down until the phone is firmly seated.  
If you have wall  
mounted the base,  
you have to remove  
the beltclip to hang  
the handset with  
the display facing  
forward.  
Direct wall mounting  
If you dont 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 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), 3-15/16 inches apart.  
Allow about 1/8 of an inch between the wall and screw heads for mounting the phone.  
2)Set the retainer clip if necessary.  
3)Refer to steps 1 through 9 above to mount the telephone.

Terminology  
Throughout this manual, terms such as Standby and Talk Mode are used. Below is the terminology explanation.  
Standby Mode  
talk  
- The handset is not in use, off the base and  
has not been pressed. A dial tone is not present.  
Talk Mode  
talk  
- The handset is off the base and  
has been pressed enabling a dial tone.  
Adjusting the Handset Ringer and Earpiece Volume  
Ringer tone and volume  
When the phone is in standby mode, pressing the  
vol  
L or M key on the handset selects the handset ringer volume  
and tone. There are two ringer tones each with two volume levels. Continue pressing the volume keys to listen to all  
tones and volume levels. The phone keeps the last ringer tone and volume setting selected.  
Earpiece volume  
The handset earpiece volume settings (Low, Medium, High and Maximum) can only be adjusted during a call. (Talk  
vol  
Mode) Press  
L or M repeatedly to select Low, Medium, High, or Maximum. When you hang  
Talk 0:15  
Volume High  
up, the phone keeps the last volume setting selected.  
As you increase or decrease the volume, your selection appears on the display.  
Redial  
redial/p  
The  
key redials the last number dialed. The redialed number can be up to 32 digits long.  
Tone Dialing Switch-over  
The tone feature  
only applies when  
the dial mode is set  
to pulse.  
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 dial-  
ing 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 entered using DTMF tones.  
Initially make your call with the pulse dialing mode. Once your call connects, press /tone  
.
*
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 17).  
Once the call ends, the tone mode is canceled and pulse dialing resumes.

account number, simply press and then the location where the special number has been stored.  
Store your special number with identifying name in memory as you would a phone number. (Refer to "Storing
