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.
