Installation
Selecting a Location
Before choosing a location for your new phone, there are some important guidelines you should consider:
• The location should be close to both a phone jack and continuous power outlet.
Note: A continuous power outlet is an AC outlet which does not have a switch to interrupt its power.
• Keep the Base Unit and Handset away from sources of electrical noise such as motors or fluorescent
lighting.
• Be sure there is sufficient space to fully extend the Base Unit antenna.
• The Base Unit can be placed on a desk or tabletop or mounted on a standard AT&T or GTE wall
plate.
• If you decide to mount your phone on the wall, make sure to change the Handset Retainer so that the
tab which holds the Handset faces up. (See page 16 for more information.)
• You should charge your new phone for 15-20 hours before completing the installation or using the
Handset.
Telephone Line Outlets
There are two types of phone outlets:
Modular Jack
Most phone equipment available now uses modular jacks. Phone cords are fitted with a molded
plastic connector which plugs into this type of jack. If you do not have modular phone jacks, contact
your local telephone company for information about their installation.
Hard-wired Jack
Some equipment is wired directly to a phone jack, and these types of installations require a modular
jack converter. This type of installation is not difficult; however, you should contact your Uniden
telephone dealer or a telephone supply store for advice about the proper adapter or converter for
your particular situation.
