Installation Selecting a Location Before choosing a location for your new phone, there are some important guidelines you should consider: • The location should be close to both a phone jack and continuous power outlet. Note: A continuous power outlet is an AC outlet which does not have a switch to interrupt its power. • Keep the Base Unit 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 Unit antenna. • The Base Unit can be placed on a desk or tabletop or mounted on a standard AT&T or GTE wall plate. • If you decide to mount your phone on the wall, make sure to change the Handset Retainer so that the tab which holds the Handset faces up. (See page 18 for more information.) • You should charge your new phone for 15-20 hours before completing the installation or using the Handset. 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. Hard-wired 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. 8

Selecting a Location
Before choosing a location for your new phone, there are some important
guidelines you should consider:
•
The location should be close to both a phone jack and continuous
power outlet.
Note:
A continuous power outlet is an AC outlet which does not
have a switch to interrupt its power.
•
Keep the Base Unit 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 Unit
antenna.
•
The Base Unit can be placed on a desk or tabletop or mounted on a
standard AT&T or GTE wall plate.
•
If you decide to mount your phone on the wall, make sure to change
the Handset Retainer so that the tab which holds the Handset faces
up. (See page 18 for more information.)
•
You should charge your new phone for 15-20 hours before
completing the installation or using the Handset.
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.
Hard-wired 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.
