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. ( 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 rotate the Base Unit antenna fully vertical.

The Base Unit can be placed on a desk or tabletop or mounted on a standard AT&T or GTE wall plate.

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.

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.

Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
