Battery Safety Precautions
Caution: To reduce the risk of fire or injury to persons by the battery, read and follow
these instructions:
1. Use only the appropriate type and size Battery Pack specified in this Operating
Guide.
2. Do not dispose of the Battery Pack in a fire. The cell may explode. Check the
Nickel-Cadmium Battery Disposal package insert for disposal instructions.
3. Do not open or mutilate the Battery Pack. Released electrolyte is corrosive and may
cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
4. Exercise care in handling the battery in order not to short the battery with
conducting materials such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery or conductor
may overheat and cause burns.
5. Charge the Battery Pack provided with or identified for use with this product only in
accordance with the instructions and limitations specified in the instruction manual
provided for this product.
6. Observe proper polarity orientation between the Battery Pack and battery charger.

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.
Warning: Please do not attempt to unplug any appliance during an electrical storm.
Caution: 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 that 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.
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.
6EXA915
Cordless Telephone Privacy
Cordless telephones are radio devices. Communications between the handset and base
of your cordless telephone are accomplished by means of radio waves which are
broadcast over the open airways. Because of the inherent physical properties of radio
waves, your communications can be received by radio receiving devices other than your
own cordless telephone unit. Consequently, any communications using your cordless
telephone may not be private.
EXA9157
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 raise 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 phone on the wall, make sure to change the Handset
Retainer so that the tab which holds the Handset faces up. (See page 12 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.
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.
Applying Power to the Base Unit
The EXA915 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 below.
✽
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.

Direct Wall Mounting
If you do not have a standard wall plate, you can mount your phone directly on a wall.
Before mounting your phone, consider the following:
➲ Select a location away from electrical cables, pipes, or other items behind the mounting
location that could cause a hazard when inserting screws into the wall.
➲ Make sure the wall material is capable of supporting the weight of the Base Unit and
Handset.
➲ Use the supplied screws with anchoring devices suitable for the wall material where the
Base Unit will be placed.
1. Insert two mounting
screws 3-15/16 inches
apart.
Allow about 3/16 of an

Charging the Battery Pack
Initial Battery Charging
The rechargeable Nickel-Cadmium
battery pack must be fully charged before
using your phone for the first time. We
recommend that the battery pack charge
for approximately 15-20 hours, without
interruption, before plugging the phone
line into your new phone.
1. Place the
Handset on
the Base Unit.

Hang the handset on the
cradle when the phone
is mounted on a wall.

Battery Memory Effect
Rechargeable batteries can develop a “memory effect” (reduced charge capacity) caused
by repeated charge and discharge cycles. The battery life will seem to be shorter every
time you use the unit.
To Avoid Memory Effect
At least once a month, operate the unit until the “Battery Low” indicator appears. Avoid
“topping off” the charge after using the phone for a short time. Also, do not charge the
Rechargeable Battery for extended periods of time.
