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.
( 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.
☞
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.
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
telephone line has been disconnected.
☞
Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
