Congratulations on your purchase of the Uniden Digital Expandable Cordless Telephone
System! This is a "Corded/Cordless" Telephone unit. The corded handset (on base) can
make/ receive calls during power failure. When the base unit is connected to AC power

outside line.

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 1.5m of a working phone jack to avoid
excessive lengths.
Make sure the wall material is capable of supporting the weight of the base and
handset.
Use #10 screws (minimum length of 35 mm) 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 anchors). 100mm
apart. Allow about 3mm between the wall
and screw heads for mounting the phone.
2) Refer to steps 1 through 10 on page 14 to
mount the telephone.
