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.

6 EXAI918

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.

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 Unit 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.

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.

EXAI918 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.

•

Note: 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 rotate the Base Unit antenna to

•

fully vertical.
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 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 EXAI918

Applying Power to the Base Unit

The EXAI918 phones require 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, connect the
adapter as shown below.

Wrap the power cord around the convenient notch on the bottom.

Important: 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

pipes, or other items behind the mounting
location that could cause a hazard when

EXAI918 13

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.

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.

Note: You can
place the Handset
face down or face
up.

—OR—

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

2. Make sure the
Battery icon lights.
If the icon doesn’t
light, check to see
that the AC adapter
is plugged in, and
that the Handset is
making good
contact with the
Base Unit charging
contacts.

Low Battery Indicator

When the Battery
Pack in the Handset
is very low and
needs to be
charged, the
Battery icon
flashes.

Note: Make sure to
change the Handset
Retainer before
hanging up the
phone.

14 EXAI918

If the Battery icon begins to flash, the phone is
programmed to eliminate its functions to save
power. The table below describes what to do to
return your phone to normal operation.

During A Call In Standby Mode

Handset continues
normal operation.

The Handset beeps and
the battery icon flashes
once every 3 seconds.

Complete your call as
quickly as possible.

Return the Handset to
the Base Unit for
charging.

None of the buttons will
operate.

The Handset battery
icon flashes once every
3 seconds.

You will not be able to
make a call.

Return the Handset to
the Base Unit for
charging.

Note:Allow 15 to 20 hours without any interruption

for the Handset to fully recharge.

Battery Memory Effect

Rechargeable batteries can develop a “memory
effect.” This memory effect can reduce talk and
standby time.

To Avoid this Memory Effect

Automatic Digital Code
Security

To avoid unauthorized calls on your phone, a
Digital Code feature was added to all EXAI918
phones. This Digital Code is shared only between
the Handset and Base Unit. The code is set

automatically

To change or reset the Digital Code, be sure the
Handset is on the Base Unit, then:

1.
