Features
The Uniden®2.4 GHz cordless phones are designed and engineered to exacting
standards for reliability, long life, and outstanding performance.

narrow band“ used in standard digital transmissions. The 2.4 GHz frequency range
was recently released to commercial communications. It provides secure conversation
with the clarity of digital sound, extended range, and reduced interference.

INSTALLATION [7]
SSeelleeccttiinnggaaLLooccaattiioonn
Before choosing a location for your new phone, read the INSTALLATION
CONSIDERATIONS included in the PRECAUTIONS AND WARRANTY INFORMATION
brochure. Here are some important guidelines you should consider:
INSTALLATION
A continuous power
outlet is an AC outlet
which does not have a
switch to interrupt its
power.
Do not place the power
cord in an area where
it may create a trip
hazard or become chafed
and create a fire or
electrical hazard.
Avoid heat sources such as radiators,
air ducts, and sunlight
Avoid television sets and
other electronic equipment
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
Choose a central location
• The location should be close to both a phone jack and continuous power outlet.
• Keep the base unit and handset away from sources of electrical noise such
as microwave ovens, motors, or fluorescent lighting.
• Be sure there is sufficient space to rotate the base unit antenna to a
vertical position.
• After installing the battery pack in the handset, you should charge your handset
for 1155hhoouurrssbbeeffoorreeuussiinnggtthheepphhoonnee. Once the handset battery pack is fully
charged, connect the telephone line cord to the base and telephone wall outlet.

telephone outlet.
2. Connect the AC adapter to the DDCC
IINN99VVjack and to a standard 120
V AC wall outlet.
3. Set the base unit on a desk or tabletop and place

SSeettttiinnggtthheeDDiiaallMMooddeeSSwwiittcchh
Place the switch in the TTOONNEEposition for tone
dialing, or the PPUULLSSEEposition for pulse dialing.
If you aren´t sure of your dialing system,
make a trial call with the PPUULLSSEE--TTOONNEEswitch
set to TTOONNEE. If the call connects, leave the
switch as is, otherwise set to PPUULLSSEE.
Place the power cord so
it does not create a trip
hazard or where it could
become chafed and
create a fire or
electrical hazard.
