we recommend that the base not be plugged into a circuit that also
powers a major appliance because of the potential for interference. Be
certain that the antenna on the unit is fully extended when needed.
In the unlikely event that you consistently hear other voices or distract-
ing transmissions on your phone, you may be receiving radio signals
from another cordless telephone or other source of interference. If you
cannot eliminate this type of interference, you need to change to a dif-
ferent channel.
Finally, it should be noted that some cordless telephones operate at fre-
quencies that may cause interference to nearby TVs and VCRs. To mini-
mize or prevent such interference, the base of the cordless telephone
should not be placed near or on top of a TV or VCR. If interference is
experienced, moving the cordless telephone farther away from the TV or
VCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference.

More Than One Cordless Telephone

If you want to use more than one cordless telephone in your home, they
must operate on different channels. Press the channel key to select a
channel that provides the clearest communication.

Cordless Telephone Privacy

Cordless telephones are radio devices. Communications between the
handset and base of your cordless telephone are accomplished by means
of radio waves which are broadcast over the open airways. Because of
the inherent physical properties of radio waves, your communications
can be received by radio receiving devices other than your own cordless
telephone unit. Consequently, any communications using your cordless
telephone may not be private.

Installation Considerations

Selecting a Location

Before choosing a location for your new phone, there are some impor-
tant guidelines you should consider:
• The location should be close to both a phone jack and continuous

power outlet. (A continuous power outlet is an AC outlet which does
not have a switch to interrupt its power.)

• Keep the base 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 antenna.
• The base can be placed on a desk or tabletop or mounted on a stan-

dard telephone wall plate.

• You should charge your new phone for 15-20 hours before complet-

ing 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 tele-
phone company for information about their installation.

Hardwired 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 con-

verter for your particular situation.

Connecting the Telephone Cords

Consider these safety guidelines before connecting the telephone cords:

Caution!

• Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
• Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the tele-

phone line has been disconnected.

• Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.

Applying Power to the Base

This phone requires an AC outlet, without a switch to interrupt power,
and the included AC adapter. To relieve strain on the DC plug when the
phone is placed on a desk or table, wrap the power cord around the
strain relief notch on the bottom of the base.

NOTE:

Place the power cord so that it does not create a trip
hazard, or where it could become chafed and create a fire
or other electrical hazards.

Adapter Safety Features

If the AC adapter furnished with this phone has a polarized line plug (a
plug having one blade wider than the other), this plug will fit into the
power outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully
into the outlet, try reversing the plug.

Do not

alter the shape of the blades of the polarized plug!

NOTE:

If you cannot plug the AC adapter into the outlet, con-
tact someone about replacing the outlet.

Plug the AC Adapter into a standard 120 VAC wall outlet. 

Do not use an outlet controlled by a wall switch.

Use only the Uniden AC Adapter supplied with this phone.
