Talk and Standby Times

With average use, your handset battery provides approximately 6 hours of talk time and approximately 7 days of standby time. When your handset is not being used and is left off of their charging cradle, the battery will gradually discharge. You can achieve optimum battery life and performance by returning the handset to the charging cradle after each use. If the handset is left off of the charging cradle, the actual talk time duration will be reduced respective to the amount of time the handset is off of the charging cradle.

D. Mount the base unit on a wall

Standard wall plate mounting

This phone can be mounted on any standard wall plate.

1) Plug the AC adapter to the DC IN 9V jack.

2) Plug the AC adapter into a standard 120V AC wall

outlet.

3) Plug the telephone line cord into the TEL LINE jack.

4) Route the telephone line cord through the groove as shown.

5) Plug the telephone line cord into the telephone

outlet.

6) 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.

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 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) Refer to steps 1 through 5 above to mount the telephone.

E. Choose the dialing mode

Most phone systems use tone dialing. However, some phone systems (such as in rural areas) still use pulse dialing. Your Uniden phone supports both tone and pulse dialing. The default setting is tone dialing. If your phone system uses pulse dialing, follow the steps below to change the dialing mode:

1) In standby, press and hold [flash] until you hear a confirmation tone.

2) Press [#] to set your phone for pulse dialing. You will hear a confirmation tone.

If you need to reset your phone to tone dialing, press and hold [flash] until you hear the confirmation tone. Then press [/tone] to restore the tone setting.

NOTE:

• Make sure your battery pack is fully charged before choosing the dial mode.

• If you are not sure of your dialing system, make a trial call. If the call connects, leave the setting at tone dialing. Otherwise, set for pulse dialing.
