Installation
Installing Your EXP900
Selecting the Installation Location
Select a location for the EXP900 to avoid excessive heat or
humidity (as in a kitchen or bathroom). The Base Unit of your
EXP900 can be placed on a desk or tabletop near a standard 120V
AC outlet and telephone line jack, mounted on a standard AT&T or
GTE wall plate, or mounted directly on the wall. Keep the Base Unit
and Handset away from sources of electrical noise (motors,
fluorescent lighting, etc.). Be sure there is sufficient space to safely
extend the Base Unit antenna fully.
Connecting the Telephone Line
There are three types of phone outlets:
•Modular.
•4-prong jack.
•Hard-wired type.
Modular Jack
Plug the telephone line cord from the Base Unit into a standard
modular telephone jack.
Note:
An adapter (not included) is required. The adapter plugs into the
4-prong jack and the telephone line cord plugs into the adapter.
A modular jack converter (not included) is required. You may need
to rewire when connecting the converter (making color-coded
connections).
Note:Your Uniden Cordless Telephone Dealer or a telephone
If you do not have a modular jack, contact your local
telephone company for information on the installation of
these jacks.
4-Prong Jack
Hard-wired Jack
supply store can advise you on the proper adapter or
converter.
CAUTION:
•Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
•Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack
is specifically designed for wet locations.
•Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless
the telephone line has been disconnected at the network
interface.
•Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.

Mounting Directly on a Wall
If you do not have a standard wall plate, you can mount the
EXP900 directly on a wall. Before mounting your cordless
telephone, 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 #10 screws with anchoring devices suitable for the wall
material where the Base Unit will be placed.
1. Insert two number 10 screws,
with the appropriate anchor
device, in the wall 3 5/16 inches
apart vertically, allowing about
1/5 of an inch between the wall
and screw heads for mounting

Range
The EXP900 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 the EXP900 is meant to
be used as a means of comparison against other range claims.
35
Radio Interference
Radio interference may occasionally cause interruptions in your
conversations. When this happens, remember that your unit is
not defective. If these noises continue and are too distracting,
move to a different location while you are talking on the phone
or change channels on your cordless handset.
