Important: 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-539. For this reason, the ET-  
539 cordless phone should not be your  
only telephone. To be safe, you should  
also have a phone that does not need  
AC power to operate (not a cordless  
phone)soyoucanstillmakeandreceive  
calls if there is an AC power failure.  
Warning: To prevent fire or shock  
hazard, do not expose this product  
to rain or moisture.  
CAUTION  
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.  
!
DO NOT OPEN.  
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF  
ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE  
COVER OR BACK. NO USER-SERVICE-  
ABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVIC-  
ING TO QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.  
This telephone has been tested and  
found to comply with all applicable UL  
and FCC standards.  
This symbol is intended to alert you  
to the presence of uninsulated dan-  
gerous voltage within the product’s  
enclosure that might be of sufficient  
magnitude to constitute a risk of  
electric shock. Do not open the  
product’s case.  
Your ET-539 operates on standard ra-  
dio frequencies, as allocated by the  
FCC. Therefore, it is possible for other  
radio units operating on similar fre-  
quencies, within a certain area, to in-  
advertently intercept your conversa-  
tions and/or cause interference on  
your cordless telephone. This lack of  
privacy can occur with any cordless  
telephone.  
This symbol is intended to inform  
you that important operating and  
maintenance instructions are in-  
cluded in the literature accompany-  
ing this product.  
!
For your records, we urge you to  
record the serial number of your phone  
in the space below. The serial number  
is on the bottom panel of the base.

READ THIS BEFORE  
INSTALLATION  
FCC STATEMENT  
This telephone complies with Part 68  
of FCC Rules. You must, upon re-  
quest, provide the FCC registration  
number and the REN to your phone  
company. These numbers are located  
on the bottom of your phone’s base.  
We have designed your telephone to  
conform to federal regulations, and  
you can connect it to most telephone  
lines. However, 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 your  
phone’s base.  
Note: You must not connect your  
phone to any of the following:  
• Coin-operated systems  
• Party-line systems  
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 phone 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.  
• Most electronic key phone sys-  
tems

The base’s location affects the phone’s  
range. If you have a choice of several  
locations, try each to see which pro-  
vides the best performance.  
1. Plug one end of the supplied mod-  
ular cord into the phone jack on  
the back of the base.  
Note: If the phone line jack is not a

PREPARATION  
CONNECTING THE  
BATTERY  
(Illus with  
callout:  
CHARGE/  
TALK  
Indicator)  
Before you use your phone for the first  
time, you must connect the battery and  
charge it for 15 hours.  
Slide off the battery compartment cov-  
er on the back of the handset and con-  
nect the battery’s plug to the pins  
inside the compartment.  
The phone recharges whenever the  
handset is on the base. You can re-  
charge the battery at any time, but you  
must be sure to recharge the battery  
when LOW BATT lights on the hand-  
set.  
Notes:  
• The first time you use your phone  
after charging the battery, the  
handset might not work or might  
sound an error tone when you  
press TALK. This might also occur  
when you recharge a battery that  
has been completely discharged.  
Replace the cover, then follow the in-  
structions under “Charging the Bat-  
tery.”  
CHARGING THE  
BATTERY  
If this happens, be sure the hand-  
set is turned on. Then return the  
handset to the base for 5 sec-  
onds. This resets the security  
access protection code.  
After you connect the battery, set  
POWER to OFF. Then place the hand-  
set on the base so the CHARGE/TALK  
indicator lights and let the battery  
charge for about 15 hours.

• If the CHARGE/TALK indicator  
does not light when you place the  
handset on the base, be sure the  
battery is connected to the pins  
inside the battery compartment  
(see "Replacing the Battery") and  
the AC adapter is securely con-  
nected to the base.  
Also, check the charging contacts  
on the handset and base. If the

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. If your  
phone is connected to one of these  
systems, you might want to enter a

call during the late evening or early  
morning to avoid peak demand peri-  
ods. Remain on the line to explain the  
reason for your call.

Numbers  
When storing numbers for special ser-  
vices (such as alternate long distance  
or bank-by-phone), store the service’s  
main phone number in one memory lo-  
cation and numbers for additional in-  
formation in others.

TROUBLESHOOTING  
We do not expect you to have any  
problems with your telephone, but if  
you do, the following suggestions  
might help. If you still have problems,  
check other phones on the same line  
to see if they work properly. If they do  
and the problem does not seem to be  
with your phone service, take your  
phone to your local RadioShack store  
for assistance.  
Problem: Call is noisy.  
Solutions:  
• Press CH to switch to another  
channel.  
• Do not mount the base near appli-  
ances or large metal objects.  
• Hang up and redial the number.  
• Keep the handset away from inter-  
ference sources such as comput-  
ers, remote control toys, wireless  
microphones, wireless alarm sys-  
tems, wireless intercoms and  
room monitors, fluorescent lights,  
and electrical appliances. If the  
interference is severe, turn off the  
interfering device.  
Problem: The handset does not  
work.  
Solutions:  
• Move the handset closer to the  
base.  
• Fully extend the handset’s and  
base’s antennas vertically.  
Problem: The handset’s range de-  
creases.  
• Be sure POWER is set to ON.  
• Be sure the phone line cord and  
AC adapter are correctly and  
securely connected.  
Solutions:  
• Fully extend the handset’s and  
base’s antennas vertically.  
• Be sure the battery is charged.  
• Be sure the antenna is not touch-  
ing a metal surface.  
• Return the handset to the base for  
5 seconds, then try again.  
• Return the handset to the base  
and recharge the battery.  
Problem: Volume drops or you hear  
unusual sounds.  
Solution: Someone has picked up an-  
other phone on the same line. Hang up  
the other phone.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
Your ET-539 25-Channel Cordless Telephone with Lighted Keypad is an example  
of superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care  
for your phone so you can enjoy it for years.  
Keep the phone dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids can  
contain minerals that corrode the electronic circuits.  
Handle the phone gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage cir-  
cuit boards and cases and cause the phone to work improperly.  
Use and store the phone only in normal temperature environments.  
Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices and  
distort or melt plastic parts.  
Keep the phone away from dust and dirt which can cause premature  
wear of parts.  
Wipe the phone with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking  
CLEANER  
new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong deter-  
gents to clean your phone.  
Modifying or tampering with the phone’s internal components can cause a malfunc-  
tion and might invalidate its warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it.  
If your phone is not performing as it should, take it to your local RadioShack 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 problem.

3. Insert a fresh battery and connect  
its plug to the pins inside the bat-  
tery compartment. Secure the bat-  
tery in place with the plastic strap.  
REPLACING THE  
BATTERY  
If you follow the instructions in “Charg-  
ing the Battery,” the supplied battery  
should last about a year. When the  
battery loses its ability to fully charge,  
order a 3.6-volt, 300-milliamp battery  
with a connector that fits the connector  
in the battery compartment. You can  
order a replacement battery through  
your local RadioShack store.  
(illus with callout:  
Battery)  
4. Replace the cover.  
Install the new battery as described  
below, then charge the battery (see  
“Charging the Battery”).  
Important: Your telephone contains a  
rechargeable nickel cadmium battery.  
At the end of the battery’s useful life, it  
must be recycled or disposed of prop-  
erly. Contact your local, county, or  
state hazardous waste management  
authorities for information on recycling  
or disposal programs in your area.  
Some options that might be available  
are: municipal curb-side collection,  
drop off boxes at retailers, recycling  
collection centers, and mail back pro-  
grams.  
1. Slide off the battery compartment  
cover on the back of the handset  
as shown. Loosen the plastic  
strap securing the battery.  
(illus with callout:

2. Gently pull on the battery connec-  
tor to disconnect the plug, then  
remove 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.  
LIGHTNING  
Your phone has built-in protection cir-  
cuits to reduce the risk of damage from  
surges in phone line current. These  
protection circuits meet or exceed FCC  
requirements. However, lightning strik-  
ing the phone lines can damage your  
phone.  
Also, the phone company can make  
changes to its lines, equipment, opera-  
tions, or procedures that could affect  
the operation of the phone. The phone  
company notifies you of these changes  
in advance, so you can take the neces-  
sary steps to prevent interruption of  
your phone service.  
Lighting damage is not common. Nev-  
ertheless, if you live an area that has  
severe electrical storms, we suggest  
that you unplug your phone during  
storms to reduce the possibility of  
damage.  
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:  
• 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 RadioShack  
store for help
