Congratulations on your purchase of the Uniden Multi-Handset Cordless System telephone. This unit is different from
conventional cordless telephones. When the base unit is connected to AC power and a telephone line, it can support up
to 4 handsets. Using extra handsets, you can establish a 3-way conference call (2 handsets and an outside line), while two
other handsets are making an intercom call. You can now place a fully featured cordless handset anywhere in your home
or office where AC power is available to connect the handset chargers.
Note: The illustrations in this manual are intended as a guide and may differ from actual unit.

MOUNTING THE BASE UNIT ON A WALL
3mm
100mm
35mm
You can mount your base 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.
• Mount your phone within distance of a working phone jack.
• Make sure the wall material is capable of supporting the weight of the base and handset.
• Use screws 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), 100mm apart. Allow about
3mm between the wall and screwheads for mounting
the phone.
2) Snap the wall mount adapter into the notches on the base
top.
3) Plug the AC adapter into the DC IN 9V jack on the telephone
and then into a Standard AC wall outlet.
4) Plug the telephone cord into the TEL LINE jack on the
telephone and route the cord through the molded wiring
channel. Then plug into the telephone socket on the wall.
5) Raise the antenna to a vertical position.
6) Align the mounting slots on the base with the mounting
posts on the wall.
7) Then push in and down until the phone is firmly seated.
This phone also can be mounted on any standard telephone
wall plate (for Australia).
