D. Mount the base unit on a wall

Standard wall plate mounting

This phone can be mounted on any standard wall plate.
1) Locate the base unit on the wall mount adapter as 

shown and slide the wall mount adapter into the 

notches on the base bottom with the tab pressed.

2) Plug the AC adapter to the 

DC IN 9V

 jack.

3) Route the AC adapter cord through the molded 

wiring channel as shown.

4) Plug the AC adapter into a standard 120V AC wall 

outlet.

5) Plug the telephone line cord into the 

TEL LINE

 

jack. Route the cord through the molded wiring 

channel as shown.

6) Plug the telephone line cord into the telephone outlet.
7) Align the mounting slots on the base with the mounting posts on the wall. Then push in 

and down until the phone is firmly seated.

Direct wall 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 5 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 (minimum length of 1-3/8 inches) with anchoring 

devices suitable for the wall material where the base unit will be 

placed.

1) Insert two mounting screws into the wall, (with their appropriate anchoring device), 3-15/

16 inches apart. Allow about 1/8 of an inch between the wall and screw heads for 

mounting the phone.

2) Refer to steps 1 through 7 above to mount the telephone.

E. Choose the dialing mode

Most phone systems use tone dialing. However, some phone systems (such as in rural areas) 

still use pulse dialing. Your Uniden phone supports both tone and pulse dialing. The default 

setting is tone dialing. If your phone system uses pulse dialing, follow the steps below to 

change the dialing mode:
1) In standby mode, press and hold the 

flash

 key until you hear a confirmation tone.

2) Press the 

#

 key to set your phone for pulse dialing. You will hear a confirmation tone.

NOTE:

• Make sure your battery pack is fully charged before choosing the dial mode.
• If you are not sure of your dialing system, make a trial call. If the call 

                  connects, leave the setting at tone dialing. Otherwise, set for pulse dialing.
