Introduction

The Uniden® EXP 7900 Series 900 MHz cordless phones are

designed and engineered to exacting standards for reliability, long

life, and outstanding performance.

▼Features

• 900 MHz Extended Range Technology

• 40 Channel Autoscan

• 10-Number Memory Dialing

• 3 One-Touch Priority Keys

• Desk or Wall Mountable

• Tone/Pulse Dialing

• Handset Volume Control

• 32 Digit Redial

• Page/Find

• AutoTalk

• AutoStandby

• 7 Hours Talk Time

• Hearing Aid Compatible

• Charging Cradle (EXP 7903/7904 only)

• Voice Scramble (EXP 7902/7904 only)

The EXP 7900 Series features include AutoTalk and AutoStandby.

AutoTalk allows you to answer a call by just removing the

handset from the base so you dont have to waste time pushing

buttons or flipping switches. AutoStandby allows you to hang up

by simply returning the handset to the base.

The EXP 7902/7904s Voice Scramble protects your privacy by

scrambling any call you make or receive. The RF signal between

the handset and the base are changed, making it difficult for

someone to clearly intercept your phone calls.

The UltraClear Plus true compander circuitry virtually eliminates

background noise. This innovative technology, together with 40

different channels, provides you with the best possible reception

during all your conversations.

To protect you against misbilled calls which might result from

your phone being activated by other equipment, the EXP 7900

Series has Random Code digital security which automatically

selects one of over 65,000 digital security codes for the handset

and base. Also, the AutoSecure feature electronically locks your

phone when the handset is in the base.

To get the most from your phone, please read this owners manual

thoroughly. Also, be sure to complete the product registration form

and mail it in.
