The EXP900 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 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.  
The EXP900 phone protects your privacy by scrambling any call  
you make or receive. The RF signal between the Handset and  
Base Unit are changed, making it difficult or impossible for  
someone to receive and understand your phone calls.  
To protect you against misbilled calls which might result from your  
phone being activated by other equipment, the EXP900 has  
Random Code™ digital security which automatically selects one of  
over 65,000 digital security codes for the Handset and Base Unit.  
Also, the AutoSecure™ feature electronically locks your phone  
when the Handset is in the Base. To get the most from your  
EXP900, please read this Operating Guide thoroughly.

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: If you do not have a modular jack, contact your local  
telephone company for information on the installation of  
these jacks.  
4-Prong Jack  
An adapter (not included) is required. The adapter plugs into the  
4-prong jack and the telephone line cord plugs into the adapter.  
Hard-wired Jack  
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  
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  
the phone. Make sure the  
screws are securely fastened,  
and that the wall material is  
capable of supporting the  
3 5/16"  
weight of the Base Unit;  
otherwise, damage to the Base  
Unit could result.  
2. Plug the AC Power Cord (1)  
and the Long Telephone Cord  
(2) into the Base Unit.

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.
