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 fully raise the Base Unit antenna.
The Base Unit can be placed on a desk or tabletop or mounted on a standard AT&T or
GTE wall plate.
If you decide to mount your phone on the wall, make sure to change the Handset
Retainer so that the tab which holds the Handset faces up. (See page 12 for more
information.)
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 EXA915 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 below.
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.
When power is applied for the first time, or after pushing the RESET button, a P
may appear in the LED display. Press < on the base to clear the display.
