Installation
Installing Your EXP91
Selecting the Installation Location
Select a location for the EXP91 to avoid excessive heat or humidity
(as in a kitchen or bathroom). The Base Unit of your EXP91 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. 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).
i 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.
