Important Electrical Considerations
Unplug all electrical appliances when you know an electrical storm is
approaching. Lightning can pass through your household wiring and
damage any device connected to it. This phone is no exception.
Please do not attempt to unplug any appliance during an electrical storm.
❉ Changes or modifications to this product not expressly approved by
Uniden, or operation of this product in any way other than as detailed
by this Operating Guide, could void your authority to operate this
product.
Range
Your new phone is designed to achieve the maximum possible range by
transmitting and receiving according to the highest specifications set forth
by the FCC. We have rated this phone to operate at a maximum distance
with the qualification that the range depends upon the environment in
which the telephone is used. Many factors limit range, and it would be
impossible to include all the variables in our rating. The Maximum Range
rating of this phone is meant to be used as a means of comparison against
other range claims.
Telephone Line Problems
The FCC has granted the telephone company the right to disconnect service
in the event that your phone causes problems on the telephone line. Also,
the telephone company may make changes in facilities and services which
may affect the operation of your unit. However, your telephone company
must give adequate notice in writing prior to such actions to allow you time
for making necessary arrangements to continue uninterrupted service.
If you are having trouble with your telephone service, you must first
disconnect your phone to determine if it is the cause of your problem. If you
determine that it is the cause, you must leave it disconnected until the
trouble has been corrected.
6
Radio Interference
Radio interference may occasionally cause buzzing and humming in your
cordless Handset, or clicking noises in the Base Unit. This interference is
caused by external sources such as TV, refrigerator, vacuum cleaner,
fluorescent lighting, or electrical storm. Your unit is NOT DEFECTIVE. If
these noises continue and are too distracting, please check around your
home to see what appliances may be causing the problem. In addition, we
recommend that the Base not be plugged into a circuit that also powers a
major appliance because of the potential for interference. Be certain that the
antenna on the unit is fully extended when needed.
In the unlikely event that you consistently hear other voices or distracting
transmissions on your phone, you may be receiving radio signals from
another cordless telephone or other source of interference. If you cannot
eliminate this type of interference, you need to change to a different channel.
Finally, it should be noted that some cordless telephones operate at
frequencies that may cause interference to nearby TVs and VCRs. To
minimize or prevent such interference, the base of the cordless telephone
should not be placed near or on top of a TV or VCR. If interference is
experienced, moving the cordless telephone farther away from the TV or
VCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference.
More Than One Cordless Telephone
If you want to use more than one cordless telephone in your home, they
must operate on different channels. Press the channel key to select a
channel that provides the clearest communication.

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.
8
Applying Power to the Base Unit
The
EX 965
phone requires an AC outlet, without a switch to interrupt
power, and the included AC adapter. To relieve strain on the DC plug when
the phone is placed on a desk or table, wrap the power cord around the
convenient notch on the bottom.
❉ Place the power cord so that it does not create a trip hazard, or where
it could become chafed and create a fire or other electrical hazards.
Adapter Safety Feature
The AC adapter furnished with this phone
may be equipped with a polarized line
plug — a plug having one blade wider than
the other. This plug will fit into the power
outlet only one way. If you are unable to
insert the plug fully into the outlet, try
reversing the plug.
