QUICK START GUIDE
The Quick Start Guide is a very condensed version of
the Owner’s Manual. It is designed to allow you to get
your phone installed and operating as quickly as
possible - however it does not attempt to explain any
of the advanced features of the DSS2455 and
DSS2465 series.
1) Install the desk top/wall mount bracket into the
notches on the base top for desk top mounting.
For wall mounting, see “Mounting the Base Unit on
a Wall” on page 6.
2) Connect the AC adapter to the AC ADAPTER
jack and to a standard AC wall outlet.
3) Connect the telephone
line cord to the TEL LINE
jack and to a telephone
socket on the wall.
Make sure the AC
Adapter/s remains
switched ON at all
times. Use only
the Uniden AC
Adapter/s supplied
with this unit.
