INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of the Uniden EXS 9800 cordless
telephone. This phone is designed for reliability, long life, and
outstanding performance utilizing the latest in 900 MHz Spread
Spectrum Technology.

l 900 MHz Spread Spectrum Technology
l Integrated Telephone Answering Device (ITAD)
l Call ID and Call Waiting Caller ID (CIDCW)
l 50 Number Caller ID Memory
l Speakerphone
l Back-up Power Supply with Optional Battery Pack
l 3-Line, 16 Character LCD Handset Display
l Headset Compatible
l Handset Earpiece and Ringer Volume Control
l 20 Channel AutoScan
l 10 Enhanced Memory Dial Locations
l 32 Digit Redial
l 2-way Page/Intercom
l Hearing Aid Compatible

digital sound, extended range, and minimal interference from other cordless
phones.

INSTALLING

Before choosing a location for your new phone, read the
INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS included in the PRECAUTIONS AND
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS brochure. Here are some
important guidelines you should consider:

l The location should be close to both

a phone jack and a continuous power
outlet. (A continuous power outlet is an
AC outlet which does not have a switch
to interrupt its power.)

l Keep the base and handset away from

sources of electrical noise such as
motors and fluorescent lighting.

l Be sure there is sufficient space to rotate the base antenna

fully vertical.

l The base can be placed on a desk, tabletop or mounted on a standard

wall plate.

l You should charge your handset for 15-20 hours before connecting the

phone line.

l If your second phone line has a separate jack, locate your phone so

you can access both jacks.

l Select a location away from electrical cables, pipes, or other items

behind the mounting location that could cause a hazard when
inserting the screws into the wall.

l Mount your phone near a working phone jack to avoid excessive

cord lengths

l Make sure the wall material is capable of supporting the weight of the

rechargeable battery pack for 15-20 hours without interruption.

1. Place the handset on the base.

2. Make sure that

status

LED lights.
If the LED doesn’t light, be sure the AC
adapter is plugged in and the handset
makes good contact with the base
charging contacts.

t Charging optional battery packs

The base of your phone is equipped with a compartment for charging
an extra battery pack for use in your handset. You can obtain an

extra battery pack from your authorized Uniden dealer.

CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK

Please visit your
authorized Uniden dealer
to obtain an extra battery
pack or contact the
Uniden Parts Department
at [phone]. Hours
are from 8:00 a.m. to
5:00 p.m. Central

Most phone systems use
tone dialing. Check with
your local phone
company if you’re not
sure whether your
system is tone or pulse.

t Low battery indicator

When the battery pack is very low and needs
to be charged, the phone is programmed to
eliminate some functions to save power. If the
phone is not in use, Low Battery flashes.
If the phone is in use, Low Battery flashes and the handset beeps.

t To avoid Memory Effect

On a monthly basis, use the phone until the Low Battery
indicator flashes on the handset. Then charge the battery for
15-20 hours.

With normal usage, your battery should last about one year.

To maintain a good charge, clean all charging contacts on the handset
and base about once a month. Use a pencil eraser or other contact
cleaner. DO NOT use liquids or solvents; you may damage your phone.

Be sure the

PULSE/TONE

switch is the

TONE

position unless your

local phone system uses pulse dialing.

failure, you must reset the digital security code by placing the handset
in the base.
