Important Note: Cordless phones  
such as this one require AC power to  
operate. When the AC power is off,  
you cannot dial out or receive incoming  
calls using your ET-916. To be safe,  
you should also have a phone that  
does not need AC power to operate  
(not a cordless phone) so you can still  
make and receive calls if there is an  
AC power failure.  
Warning: To prevent fire or shock haz-  
ard, do not expose this product to rain  
or moisture.  
READ THIS BEFORE  
INSTALLATION  
Each device that you connect to the  
phone line draws power from the  
phone line. We refer to this power draw  
as the device’s ringer equivalence  
number, or REN. The REN is shown  
on the bottom of the base.  
We recommend you record your  
phone’s serial number here. The num-  
ber is on the bottom of the base.  
Serial Number __________________  
If you are using more than one phone  
or other device on the line, add up all  
the RENs. If the total is more than five,  
your phones might not ring. In rural ar-  
eas, a total REN of three might impair  
ringer operation. If ringer operation is  
impaired, remove a device from the  
line.

Notes:  
ing the handset off the base until  
the TALK/BATT LOW indicator  
flashes. Otherwise, the battery  
pack loses its ability to fully re-  
charge.  
• If the CHARGE indicator does not  
light when you place the handset  
on the base, be sure the battery  
pack and AC adapter are correctly  
and securely connected.  
• If the TALK/BATT LOW indicator  
does not light but the phone does  
not work, recharge the battery  
pack. (The battery power might be  
too low to light the indicator.)  
Also, check the charging contacts  
on the handset and the base. If  
the contacts are dirty or tarnished,  
clean them with a pencil eraser.  
• If the battery pack becomes weak  
during a call, you hear a beep ev-  
ery 30 seconds and the TALK/  
BATT LOW indicator flashes ev-  
ery 3 seconds. Recharge the bat-  
tery pack.  
• If the battery pack is completely  
discharged, the handset loses the  
security access-protection code.  
To reset the code, place the hand-  
set on the base and charge the  
battery pack.  
• The supplied battery pack should  
last for about a year. When the  
battery pack loses its ability to  
fully recharge, order a replace-  
ment battery pack from your local  
RadioShack store (see “Replacing  
the Battery Pack” on Page 19).  
• When you first use the phone after  
charging or recharging the battery  
pack, the phone might not work  
and you might hear an error tone.  
If this happens, return the handset  
to the base for a few seconds.  
• About once a month, fully dis-  
charge the battery pack by keep-

periods. Also, remain on the line to ex-  
plain the reason for your call.  
In some telephone systems, you must  
dial an access code (9, for example)  
and wait for a second dial tone before  
you can dial an outside number. You  
can store the access code with the

also store a pause after the access  
code to allow the outside line time to  
connect. To do so, press REDIAL/P.  
Each press enters a 2-second pause.  
For a longer pause, press REDIAL/P  
additional times.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
Your ET-916 900-MHz Extended-Range Cordless Telephone with 10-Number  
Memory is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The following sugges-  
tions will help you care for your cordless telephone so you can enjoy it for years.  
Keep the ET-916 dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids  
might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.  
Handle the ET-916 gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage cir-  
cuit boards and cases and can cause the ET-916 to work improperly.  
Use and store the ET-916 only in normal temperature environments.  
Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices and  
distort or melt plastic parts.  
Keep the ET-916 away from dust and dirt, which can cause prema-  
ture wear of parts.  
Wipe the ET-916 with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking  
CLEANER  
new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong deter-  
gents to clean the ET-916.  
Modifying or tampering with the ET-916’s internal components can cause a malfunc-  
tion and might invalidate your ET-916’s warranty and void your FCC authorization to  
operate it. If your ET-916 is not performing as it should, take it to your local Ra-  
dioShack store for assistance. If the trouble is affecting the phone lines, the phone  
company might ask you to disconnect your phone until you have resolved the prob-  
lem.

Cautions:  
REPLACING THE  
BATTERY PACK  
• You must use a replacement bat-  
tery of the same size and type.  
If you follow the instructions in “Con-  
necting and Charging the Battery  
Pack” on Page 9, the battery pack  
should last about one year. If the bat-  
tery does not hold a charge for more  
than 2 hours after an overnight charge,  
replace the battery with a new 3.6 volt,  
600 milliamp battery with a connector  
that fits the connector in the battery  
compartment. You can order a re-  
placement battery pack through your  
local RadioShack store.  
• Do not dispose of the battery in a  
fire because it might explode.  
• Do not open or mutilate the bat-  
tery.  
• Be careful not to short the battery  
by touching it with conducting  
materials, such as rings, brace-  
lets, and keys. The battery or con-  
ductor might overheat and burn.  
Notes:  
Install the new battery pack as de-  
scribed below, then charge the battery  
for about 14 hours (see “Connecting  
and Charging the Battery Pack” on  
Page 9).  
• If you have trouble replacing the  
battery, take the phone to your lo-  
cal RadioShack store for assis-  
tance.  
To avoid losing phone numbers  
stored in memory, try to install and  
begin charging the new battery  
within 3 minutes.  
1. Loosen the screw on the battery

If you cannot eliminate the interfer-  
ence, the FCC requires that you stop  
using your phone.  
THE FCC WANTS YOU  
TO KNOW  
In the unlikely event that your phone  
causes problems on the phone line,  
the phone company can temporarily  
discontinue your service. If this hap-  
pens, the phone company attempts to  
notify you in advance. If advance no-  
tice is not practical, the phone compa-  
ny notifies you as soon as possible and  
advises you of your right to file a com-  
plaint with the FCC.  
Some cordless telephones operate on  
frequencies that may cause interfer-  
ence to nearby TVs and VCRs. To  
minimize or prevent such interference,  
the base of the cordless telephone  
should not be placed near or on top of  
a TV or VCR.  
LIGHTNING  
Also, the phone company can make  
changes to its lines, equipment, opera-  
tions, or procedures that could affect  
the operation of this telephone. The  
telephone company notifies you of  
these changes in advance, so you can  
take the necessary steps to prevent in-  
terruption of your telephone service.  
Your telephone has built-in lightning  
protection to reduce the risk of damage  
from surges in telephone line and pow-  
er line current. This lightning protection  
meets or exceeds FCC requirements.  
However, lightning striking the tele-  
phone or power lines can damage your  
telephone.  
Your phone might cause TV or radio  
interference even when it is operating  
properly. To determine whether your  
phone is causing the interference, turn  
off your phone. If the interference goes  
away, your phone is causing the inter-  
ference. Try to eliminate the interfer-  
ence by:  
Lightning damage is not common.  
Nevertheless, if you live in an area that  
has severe electrical storms, we sug-  
gest that you unplug your phone during  
storms to reduce the possibility of  
damage.  
• Moving your phone away from the  
receiver  
• Connecting your phone to an AC  
outlet that is on a different electri-  
cal circuit from the receiver  
• Contacting  
your  
local

dioShack store for help
