INSTALLATION
CONNECTING POWER
Use only the Uniden AC Adaptor supplied with this
Uniden 7100A Digital Telephone Answering Machine.
1. Plug the AC Adaptor into the power socket at the rear of the DTAM
labelled “9 V AC 400mA”.
2. Then plug the other end into your mains socket.
When you first connect power, the DTAM beeps once and
announces "Please wait". The message counter counts up from 0
to 18. Then the DTAM beeps. , , , and alternatively
appear to indicate that no outgoing messages are recorded.
BACKUP BATTERY
If the power fails or you unplug the DTAM, a 9V backup battery (not
supplied) would save the messages and the settings for the day, time
and security code. We recommend you use an alkaline battery.
