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 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 Unit 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.
Privacy
Cordless telephones are radio devices. Communications between the
Handset and Base Unit 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.

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 rotate the Base Unit antenna fully
vertical.
The Base Unit can be placed on a desk or tabletop or mounted on a
standard AT&T or GTE wall plate.
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 EXI 916/917 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 on the bottom.
✻ 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.
Desk or Tabletop Installation
1. Plug the AC Adapter cord into the DC
input jack on the Base Unit. Then,
position the cord as shown below.

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.

Battery Memory Effect
Rechargeable batteries can develop a “memory effect” (reduced charge
capacity) caused by repeated charge and discharge cycles. The battery life
will seem to be shorter every time you use the unit.
To Avoid Memory Effect
At least once a month, operate the unit until the “Battery Low” indicator
appears. Then, charge the unit as described. Avoid “topping off” the charge
after using the phone for a short time. Also, do not charge the Rechargeable
Battery for extended periods of time.
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.
Setting the Pulse/Tone Switch
Be sure the PULSE/TONE switch is in the
TONE position.

with your local phone company if you are
not sure whether your system is Tone or
Pulse dialing.
