Installing the Phone

Choosing the Best Location

When choosing a location for your new phone, here are some important guidelines you should consider:

•

•

•

•

•

•

The location should be close to both a phone jack and a power outlet that is not controlled by a wall switch.

The base and handset should be kept away from sources of electrical noise such as motors, microwave ovens, and fluorescent lighting.

Don't place the base in direct sunlight or subject it to high temperatures. The battery may not charge properly. For better reception, place the base as high as possible.

The base should be placed in an open area for optimum range and reception.

If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to a phone line, be sure that installing the system does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment, contact your telephone company or a qualified installer.

Wall Mounting the Base

This phone can be mounted on any standard wall plate.

1.Snap the wall mount adapter into the notches on the base top.

2.Plug the AC adapter into the DC IN 9V jack.

CAUTION: To avoid risk of fire and shock, only use the Uniden AD-800 AC adapter.

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. DO NOT use an AC outlet controlled by a wall switch.
