Description:
Uniden, the world's largest manufacturer of quality cordless telephones, presents a wealth of features in the EXS 9600. The Uniden EXS 9600 cordless telephone offers 900 MHz digital spread spectrum technology for greater range, clarity, and privacy; call waiting/caller ID; and other extras that make this phone an attractive package. Setting up the phone for basic operation was easy--we just inserted the battery pack, plugged in the AC adapter/recharger, and connected the phone cable to the standard RJ-11 jack. We recommend that you allow the battery pack to charge for an uninterrupted 20 hours before using the phone. You control the features through the base unit's front-mounted button and side-mounted switch; the handset has an LCD display and 11 buttons in addition to the usual 0-9, #, and *. You may need to consult the manual to learn how to use some features, such as storing and editing numbers for memory dialing or setting the caller ID options. Still, the procedures are consistent and explained well in the documentation. In our tests, we placed the unit in a basement apartment in an urban environment. The handset functioned flawlessly to about 600 feet from the base (inside a car, no less), where it began to cut in and out. At about 1,400 feet, the handset beeped, indicating total loss of contact with the base. Long distance and local calls sounded as clear as any corded phone, and the battery lasted over four hours with continuous use. With its full suite of features and its crystal-clear digital-spread-spectrum sound and security, this is an impressive cordless telephone. --Mike Brown, June 1999 Pros: - Clear sound
