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 bo th 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 source s of electrical noise
such as motors or fluorescen t 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 Han dset faces up. (See
page 19 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 modu lar 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. Thi s ty pe of in st allation is
not difficult; however, you should contact yo ur Uniden telephone dealer or
a telephone supply store for advice about the proper adapter or conv ert er
for your particular situation.
