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.

6 EXA915

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.

EXA915 7

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
inch between the wall
and screw heads for
mounting the phone.

Note:

The built-in Memory Backup feature allows up to 3 minutes
to disconnect the old battery pack and install a new one without
losing any numbers stored in memory.

Cleaning the Battery Contacts

To maintain a good charge, it is important to clean all charging contacts on the Handset
and Base Unit about once a month. Use a pencil eraser or other contact cleaner. Do not
use any liquids or solvents.
