Installing the Phone
Do the following steps:
A. Choose the Best Location
B. Install the Rechargeable Battery Pack into the Handset
C. Connect the Base Unit and Charge the Handset
D. Mount the Base Unit on a Wall
E. Choose the Dialing Mode
A. Choose 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 continuous power outlet (one
which is not connected to a switch).
• The base and handset should be kept away from sources of electrical noise such as motors,
microwave ovens, and fluorescent lighting.
• The base can be placed on a desk, tabletop, or mounted on a standard wall plate.
• There should be enough space to fully extend the antenna.
Avoid heat sources, such as radiators,
air ducts, and sunlight
Avoid television sets and other
electronic equipment
Choose a central location
Avoid noise sources such as a window by
a street with heavy traffic
Avoid microwave ovens
Avoid excessive moisture,
extremely low temperatures, dust,
mechanical vibration, or shock
Avoid personal computers
Avoid other cordless telephones
If your home has
specially wired alarm
equipment connected to
the telephone line, be
sure that installing the
system does not disable
your alarm equipment.
If you have questions
about what will disable
your alarm equipment,
contact your telephone
company or a qualified
installer.

finger indention for a better grip) and slide the cover
downward to remove.
2) Plug the battery pack connector (red & black wires) into the
jack inside the battery compartment.
(The connector notches fit into the grooves of the jack only
one way.) Match the wire colors to the polarity label in the
battery compartment, connect the battery and listen for a
click to insure connection.
3) Make sure you have a good connection by slightly pulling on
the battery wires. If the connection is secure, the battery
jack will remain in place.

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 8 on page 8 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 mode, press and hold the remote key until you hear a confirmation tone.
2) Press the #key to set your phone for pulse dialing. You will hear a confirmation tone.
•If you are not sure of
your dialing system,
make a trial call. If the
call connects, leave
the setting as is.
Otherwise, set for
pulse dialing.
•If your phone system
requires pulse dialing
and you need to send
DTMF tones during a
call, you can
temporarily switch
over to tone dialing.
(Refer to “Tone Dialing
Switch-over” on
page 12).

these numbers with just a few key presses.
The speed dial memory is not limited to phone numbers. You can store any number (up to 20
digits) that you need to enter once your call connects. This is referred to as Chain Dialing.

multiple pauses to increase the delay. Each pause counts as a digit.
4) Press the memory key again.
5) To store this number as one of the ten speed dial numbers, enter a digit from 0 to 9. If
there is already a number in that speed dial setting, it will overwrite the previously stored
number without warning. You will hear a confirmation tone indicates that the number has
been stored.
When storing numbers into memory, if the handset is idle (i.e,. no key is pressed) for
more than 30 seconds, it will beep rapidly, and the phone will return to standby mode.
Making Calls from Speed Dial Memory
