This telephone has been tested and  
found to comply with all applicable UL  
and FCC standards.  
READ THIS BEFORE  
INSTALLATION  
This telephone conforms to federal regu-  
lations, 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 on the bottom of the phone.  
We recommend you record your  
phone’s serial number here. The num-  
ber is on the bottom of the phone.  
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 (or  
three in rural areas), your phones might  
not ring. If ringer operation is impaired,  
remove a device from the line.  
To reduce the risk of fire or  
shock hazard, do not expose this product to  
rain or moisture.

INSTALLATION  
CHOOSING A LOCATION  
MOUNTING THE PHONE  
You can use your telephone as a desk  
phone, mount it on a standard wall plate,  
or mount it directly on a wall. Select a lo-  
cation that is near the telephone line  
jack(s) and an easily accessible AC out-  
let  
On a Desktop  
1. Remove the mounting bracket by  
holding in the tab on the right side of  
the bracket and gently pulling the  
bracket away from the base.  
To take full advantage of many of the  
ET-469’s features (like conference call-  
ing) you must have two telephone lines  
with separate phone numbers. If you  
have only one phone line, you can order  
a second line from your local phone  
company.  
2. If you have a single two-line phone  
jack, plug one end of the supplied  
two-line long modular cord into L1 or  
L1/L2 on the back of the phone’s  
base.  
You can use a two-line jack (RJ14C or  
RJ14W for a wall plate) that contains  
both lines, or you can use a separate  
single-line jack (RJ11C) for each line.  
Notes:  
L1/L2  
• The line that connects the phone  
jack to the telephone company wir-  
ing must be twisted-pair cable. Oth-  
erwise, you might experience  
interference (crosstalk) between the  
two phone lines.  
Note: If you connect the phone to a  
two-line phone jack with a two-line  
cord, do not connect another modu-  
lar cord to the L2 jack. Otherwise,  
the phone will not operate properly.  
• Your telephone connects directly to  
a modular telephone line jack. If  
your telephone wiring does not have  
a modular jack, you can update the  
wiring yourself using jacks and  
adapters available at your local  
RadioShack store, or have the tele-  
phone company update the wiring  
for you.

phone cord(s) to the phone line  
jack(s).  
Caution: You must use a  
Class 2 power source that  
!
supplies 9 volts DC and  
delivers at least 150 mA. Its center  
tip must be set to negative and its  
plug must fit the TAD-469's  
DC 9V  
jack. The supplied adapter meets  
these specifications. Using an  
adapter that does not meet these  
specifications could damage the  
TAD-469 or the adapter.

Notes:  
Dialing a Stored Number  
To change a number in memory,  
store a new one in its place.  
To dial a number stored in memory, lift  
the handset or press HEADSET/SPEAK-  
ER, then:  
To erase a number from memory, re-  
peat all except Step 2, selecting the  
location you want to erase in Step 4.  
To dial a number stored in upper  
memory, press the desired memory  
location number.  
Storing a Pause in Memory  
To dial a number stored in lower  
memory, press LOWER then the de-  
sired memory location number.  
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 phone  
number. However, you should also store  
a pause after the access code to allow  
the outside line time to connect.  
Note: If you select a memory location  
number that does not have a phone  
number stored in it, press HEADSET/  
SPEAKER again then press the correct  
memory location number.  
To add one or more 2-second pauses to  
a phone number you are storing in  
memory, press REDIAL at each point  
where a pause is needed.  
Chain Dialing Service Numbers  
You can make a call using more than  
one of the two-line speakerphone's  
memory locations. This is called chain  
dialing. Chain dialing is useful for dial-  
ing special services such as alternate  
long distance or bank-by-phone.  
Testing Stored Emergency  
Numbers  
Note: Each pause entry counts as one  
memory digit in the stored number.  
If you store an emergency service’s  
number (police and fire departments,  
ambulance) and you want to test the  
stored number, make the test call dur-  
ing the late evening or early morning  
hours to avoid peak demand periods.  
Also, remain on the line to explain the  
reason for your call.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
Your RadioShack ET-469 Two-Line Speakerphone is an example of superior  
design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for  
your ET-469 so you can enjoy it for years.  
Keep the ET-469 dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liq-  
uids might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic cir-  
cuits.  
Use and store the ET-469 only in normal temperature environ-  
ments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic  
devices and distort or melt plastic parts.  
Keep the ET-469 away from dust and dirt, which can cause pre-  
mature wear of parts.  
Handle the ET-469 gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage  
circuit boards and cases and can cause the ET-469 to work im-  
properly.  
Wipe the ET-469 with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking  
new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong de-  
tergents to clean the ET-469.  
Modifying or tampering with the ET-469’s internal components can cause a  
malfunction and might invalidate its warranty and void your FCC authoriza-  
tion to operate it. If your ET-469 is not performing as it should, take it to your  
local RadioShack store for assistance. If the trouble is affecting the telephone  
lines, the phone company can ask you to disconnect your ET-469 until you  
have resolved the problem.

THE FCC WANTS YOU TO  
KNOW  
LIGHTNING  
Your telephone has built-in protection  
circuits to reduce the risk of damage  
from surges in telephone line and power  
line current. These protection circuits  
meet or exceed the FCC requirements.  
However, lightning striking the tele-  
phone or power lines can damage your  
telephone.  
In the unlikely event that your phone  
causes problems on the phone line, the  
phone company can temporarily discon-  
tinue your service. If this happens, the  
phone company attempts to notify you in  
advance. If advance notice is not practi-  
cal, the phone company notifies you as  
soon as possible and advises you of  
your right to file a complaint with the  
FCC.  
Lightning damage is not common. Nev-  
ertheless, if you live in an area that has  
severe electrical storms, we suggest  
that you unplug your phone during  
storms to reduce the possibility of dam-  
age.  
Also, the phone company can make  
changes to its lines, equipment, opera-  
tions, or procedures that could affect the  
operation of this telephone. The tele-  
phone company notifies you of these  
changes in advance, so you can take  
the necessary steps to prevent interrup-  
tion of your telephone service.
