WELCOME/ FEATURES / TERMI NOLOGY [ 2 ] www. uni de n. c om
Congratulations on your purchase of the Uniden Multi-Handset Cordless Telephone
System! This unit is different from conventional cordless telephones. When the base
unit is connected to AC power and a telephone line, it can support up to four handsets.
You can now place a fully-featured cordless handset anywhere in your home or office
where AC power is available to connect the handset chargers. Extra handsets also allow
you to establish a three-way conference call among two handsets and an outside line.
Note: Illustrations in this manual are used for explanation purposes. Some
illustrations in this manual may differ from the actual unit.

2) Place the handset in the base unit with the keypad facing forward.
3) Make sure that the charge LED illuminates.
If the LED does not illuminate, check to see that the
AC adapter is plugged in and the handset makes
good contact with the base charging contacts.

plugging into the phone line.
5) Once the handset battery pack is fully charged,
connect the telephone line cords to the TEL LINE
jack and to a telephone outlets.
If your telephone outlet isn't modular,
contact your telephone company for
assistance.
Use only the supplied
AD-800 AC adapter.
Do not use any other
AC adapter.
Do not place the power
cord where it creates a
trip hazard or where it
could become chafed
and create a fire or
electrical hazard.

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 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 5 on page 10 to
mount the telephone.
