DESK/TABLETOP INSTALLATION INSTALLING INSTALLING AND ADJUSTING AND ADJUSTING YOUR PHONE 1) Plug the AC adapter cord into the 9 VDC input jack on the back of the base. 2) Wrap the AC adapter cord around the strain relief notch. Place the power cord so that it does not create a trip hazard or where it could become chafed and create a fire or electrical hazard. 3) Plug the AC adapter into a standard 120 VAC wall outlet. Use only the Uniden AC adapter supplied with this phone and DO NOT use an outlet controlled by a wall switch. 4) Charge the battery (refer to "Charging the Battery Pack," page 8). 5) Plug one end of the telephone cord into the TEL LINE jack on the back of the base. 6) Plug the other end of the cord into your telephone jack on the wall. 3 HINT Before using your phone, fully charge the NickelCadmium battery pack for 15-20 hours. 7) Set the base on a desk or tabletop, and place the handset into the base as shown. Then, raise the antenna to a vertical position. WALL INSTALLATION w Standard wall plate mounting This phone can be mounted on any standard AT&T or GTE wall plate. CAUTION Place the power cord so that it does not create a trip hazard or where it could become chafed and create a fire or electrical hazard. 1) Slide the wall mount adapter into the notches at the top of the base. 2) Rotate the wall mount adapter down and snap it into place at the bottom of the base. 3) Plug the AC adapter into the base. 4) Put the AC adapter cord inside the molded wiring channel, then wrap it around the strain relief notch. Plug the AC adapter into a standard 120 VAC wall outlet. 4 DO NOT use an outlet controlled by a wall switch. ! 5) Plug one end of the telephone cord into the TEL LINE jack on the back of the base, then plug the other end into a standard telephone jack. 6) Line up the mounting slots on the base with the mounting posts on the wall, then push in and down until the phone is firmly seated. 7) On the base unit, pull the handset retainer out of the slot and rotate it clockwise 180 degrees. Before you plug the other end of the telephone cord into the modular jack on the wall, charge the battery (refer to "Charging the Battery Pack," page 8). ! INSTALLING AND ADJUSTING 8) Flip the retainer from front to back, then slide it back into the slot so that the lip of the retainer faces up and the oval is at the bottom of the retainer. This will hold the handset in place. 5 w 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: · Select a location away from electrical cables, pipes, or other items behind the mounting location. Inserting screws into areas such as this can be hazardous. · Try to mount your phone within 10 - 15 feet of a working phone jack in order to avoid excessive lengths. Remember, you are not mounting your phone to a wall plate with a built-in phone jack. · If the selected mounting area has no wooden support beams directly behind it, you will need the appropriate anchoring devices in order for the wall to properly support your phone. 1) Insert two mounting screws into the wall, with their appropriate anchoring device if necessary, 3-15/16 inches apart. Allow about 3/16 of an inch between the wall and screw heads for mounting the phone. 2) Slide the wall mount into the notches at the top of the base. 3) Rotate the wall mount adapter down and snap it into place at the bottom of the base. 4) Plug the AC adapter into the base. 6 5) Put the AC adapter cord inside the molded wiring channel, then wrap the AC adapter cord around the strain relief notch.
