Connect the base unit

If you want to install the base unit on the wall, see page 7.

Route the cord.

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

To AC outlet To DC IN 9V

AC adapter (supplied) To telephone outlet Telephone line cord (supplied) To TEL LINE
Connect the telephone line cord to the TEL LINE jack and to a telephone outlet. Connect the AC adapter to the DC IN 9V jack and to a standard 120V AC wall outlet. Set the base unit on a desk or tabletop and place the handset on the base unit. Then raise the antenna to a vertical position.
Use only the supplied AD-420 AC adapter. Do not use any other AC adapter. Connect the AC adapter to a continuous power supply. Place the base unit close to the AC outlet so that you can unplug the AC adapter easily.

Polarity of the plug

If your telephone outlet isn't modular, contact your telephone company for assistance.

Modular

Choose the dialing mode
Depending on your dialing system, set the PULSE-TONE switch as follows: If your dialing system is Tone Pulse Set the switch to TONE PULSE
If you aren't sure of your dialing system Make a trial call with the PULSE-TONE switch set to TONE. If the call connects, leave the switch as is; otherwise, set to PULSE.
Standard wall plate mounting
This phone can be mounted on any standard telephone wall plate.
Snap the wall mount adapter into the notches on the base. Plug the telephone line cord to the TEL LINE jack and the AC adapter to the DC IN 9V jack. Plug the telephone line cord into the telephone outlet. Wrap the AC adapter cord inside the molded wiring channel. Then wrap the cord around the strain relief notch. Plug the AC adapter into a standard 120V AC wall outlet. Raise the antenna to a vertical position. Align the mounting slots on the base with the mounting posts on the wall. Push in and down until the phone is firmly seated.

Handset retainer

On the base unit, pull the handset retainer out of the slot. Rotate it clockwise 180 degrees. Flip the retainer from front to back. Slide it back into the slot so that the lip of the retainer is up and is down. The retainer holds the handset in place.

If you have wall mounted the base, you must remove the beltclip to charge the handset facing forward.
Direct wall plate mounting
If you don't have a standard wall plate, you can mount your phone directly to the 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 10 - 15 feet of a working phone jack to avoid excessive cord lengths. Make sure the wall material is capable of supporting the weight of the base and handset. Use #10 screws with (minimum length of 1-3/8 inches) anchoring devices suitable for the wall material where the base unit will be placed.

TOP 3/16 in.

3-15/16 in.
Insert two mounting screws into the wall, (with their appropriate anchoring device), 3-15/16 inches apart. Allow about 3/16 of an inch between the wall and screwheads for mounting the phone. Refer to steps 1 through 9 on page 7 and 8 to mount the telephone.
Charge the battery pack for more than 15-20 hours before you start using your phone.
Press in on the battery cover release and slide the cover down until it comes off.
Connect the battery pack connector with the correct polarity (black and red wires), then insert the battery pack into the battery compartment.
Slide the battery cover forward until it snaps into place.
Place the handset on the base.

status LED

Make sure that the status LED lights. If the LED doesnt light, check to see that the AC adapter is plugged in and that the handset makes good contact with the base charging contacts.
Use only Uniden Battery (BT-905) supplied with your phone.
Battery use time (per charge)
From fully charged 6 hours coutinuous use. 10 days when the handset is in the standby mode.
Even when the battery pack is not being used, it will gradually discharge over a long period. For optimum performance, be sure to return the handset to the base unit after a telephone call for charging the battery.
When the battery charge becomes low
When the voltage of battery pack in the handset is very low and needs to be charged, the phone is programmed to eliminate functions in order to save power. If the battery charge becomes low, Low Battery appears on the LCD. If the phone is in use, the handset beeps. Complete your conversation as quickly as possible and return the handset to the base unit for charging.

Cleaning the charging contacts
To maintain a good charge, it is important to clean the battery contacts on the handset and base unit with a dry cloth about once a month. Do not use any liquids or solvents.
