Uniden XCA4500 - Manual (Page 9)

Installation
Selecting a Location
Before choosing a location for your XCA4500 , 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.
•
If you decide to mount your integrated telephone answering device
on the wall, make sure to change the handset retainer so that the
tab which holds the Handset faces up. (See page 20 for more
information.)
•
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.
