Important:
FCC STATEMENT
• 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-1111. 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.
Your telephone complies with Part 68 of
FCC Rules. You must, upon request,
provide the FCC registration number
and the REN to your phone company.
These numbers are on the bottom of the
base.
You must not connect your phone to any
of the following:
• coin-operated systems
• When the battery pack is completely
discharged, the ET-1111 loses the
security access-protection code
connection between the base and
the handset. Recharge or replace
the battery pack and place the
handset on the base to restore the
code.
• party-line systems
• most electronic key phone systems
This equipment complies with the limits
for a Class B digital device as specified
in Part 15 of FCC Rules. These limits
provide reasonable protection against
radio and TV interference in a residential
area. However, your equipment might
cause TV or radio interference even
when it is operating properly. To elimi-
nate interference, you can try one or
more of the following corrective mea-
sures.
READ THIS BEFORE
INSTALLATION
We have designed your phone to con-
form to federal regulations and you can
connect it to most phone lines. However,
each device that you connect to the tele-
phone line draws power from the line.
We refer to this power draw as the
phone’s ringer equivalence number, or
REN. The REN is on the bottom of your
phone.
• Reorient or relocate the receiving
antenna.
• Increase the distance between the
equipment and the radio or TV.
• Use outlets on different electrical cir-
cuits for the equipment and the ra-
dio or TV.
If you use 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 areas, a total
REN of three might impair ringer opera-
tion. If ringer operation is impaired, re-
move one of the devices from the line.
Consult your local RadioShack store if
the problem still exists.

yourself, using jacks and adapters
available from your local Ra-
dioShack store. Or, you can let the
telephone company update the wir-
ing for you.
MOUNTING THE PHONE
You can place the ET-1111’s base on a
desk or table, mount it on a standard
wall plate, or mount it directly on a wall.
Choose a location that is:
• The USOC number of the jack to be
installed is RJ11C, or RJ11W for a
wall plate jack.
• near an AC outlet
• near a telephone line jack
• out of the way of normal activities
• away from electrical machinery,
electrical appliances, metal walls or
filing cabinets, wireless intercoms,
alarms, and room monitors

set’s range. If you have a choice of sev-
eral locations, try each to see which
provides the best performance.
Caution: You must use a Class
2 power source that supplies 9
!
volts DC and delivers at least
350 mA. Its center tip must be set to
positive and its plug must fit the ET-
1111's DC IN 9V jack. The supplied

ing an adapter that does not meet these
specifications could damage the ET-
1111 or the adapter.
2. Plug the modular cord’s other end
into a modular phone line jack.
3. Insert the supplied AC adapter’s
barrel plug into the DC IN 9V jack on
the back of the base.

PACK
Recharge the battery pack when the
handset beeps every 3 seconds and
Low Battery flashes on the display
during a call. You cannot make another
call until you recharge the battery pack.
The ET-1111 comes with a recharge-
able Ni-Cd battery pack in the handset
but not connected. Before using your
phone, you must connect the battery
pack, then charge it for about 24 hours.

43-1111.fm Page 9 Tuesday, June 29, 1999 3:41 PM
Important: Be sure the battery pack is
properly connected before you try to
charge it. The CHARGE/INUSE indica-
tor lights when the handset is on the
base, even if the battery pack is not con-
nected.
• If the display is blank and the phone
does not work, recharge the battery
pack. (The battery power might be
too low to light the display.)
• If you are not going to use your
phone for an extended period of
time, disconnect the battery pack.
This increases the battery pack’s
usable life.
Notes:
• 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 when
you press TALK. If this happens, re-
turn the handset to the base for
about 5 seconds. This resets the se-
curity access-protection code.
• The supplied battery pack should
last for about a year. When it loses
its ability to fully recharge, order a
replacement battery pack from your
local RadioShack store (see “Re-
placing the Battery Pack” on
Page 24).
• If the handset’s battery pack is com-
pletely depleted, the security ac-
cess-protection code might be lost.
To reset the code, return the hand-
set to the base for about 5 seconds.
SETTING THE DIALING
MODE
• Using a pencil eraser, clean the
charging contacts on the handset
and the base about once a month.
Set PULSE/TONE on the back of the
base for the type of service you have. If
you are not sure which type you have,
once the battery pack is fully charged,
perform this test.
1. Be sure PULSE/TONE is set to
TONE.
• About once a month, fully discharge
the battery pack by keeping the
handset off the base until Low
Battery flashes with the phone
off-hook. Otherwise, the battery
pack loses its ability to fully re-
charge.

TROUBLESHOOTING
We do not expect you to have any problems with your phone, but if you do, the follow-
ing suggestions might help.
Problem
Suggestion
The phone does not work or works
poorly.
Be sure the base’s phone line cord and
AC adapter are correctly and securely
connected.
Be sure the battery pack in the handset
is connected and charged.
Return the handset to the base for a few
seconds to reset the security access-
protection code.
The display flashes slowly when the
handset is faceup on the base.
Be sure the battery pack in the handset
is properly connected.
The handset stops working or works
poorly during a call.
Move the handset closer to the base.
Lift the base’s antenna to a fully vertical
position.
Be sure the handset’s battery pack is
charged. (If the battery pack power is
too low, it does not have enough power
to light the Low Batteryindicator on
the display.)
Low volume or unusual sounds.
Severe noise interference.
Someone has picked up another phone
on the same line. Hang up the other
phone.
Keep the handset away from comput-
ers, remote control toys, wireless micro-
phones, alarm systems, intercoms,
room monitors, fluorescent lights, and
electrical appliances.
Move to another location or turn off the
source of interference.
Hang up and redial the number.

Problem
Suggestion
The phone cannot be operated at a
useful distance from the base
because the signal becomes weak
or noisy (handset’s range has
decreased).
Lift the base’s antenna to a fully vertical
position.
Be sure neither the handset’s nor base’s
antenna is touching a metal surface.
Recharge the battery pack.
The handset battery pack does not
charge.
Check the charging contacts on the
handset and base. If they are dirty, clean
them with a pencil eraser.
Be sure the battery pack is properly con-
nected.
Be sure the handset is properly seated
on the base.
Replace the battery pack (see “Replac-
ing the Battery Pack” on Page 24).
Handset does not ring or receive a
page.
Lift the base’s antenna to a fully vertical
position.
Move the handset closer to the base.
Move the base away from other electri-
cal devices.
Recharge the battery pack.
You have an incoming call, but do
not receive any Caller ID informa-
tion.
Let the phone ring twice before you
answer so the system has time to record
the Caller ID information.
Check that the system is correctly and
securely connected.
Call your phone company to verify that
your Caller ID service is active.
If you still have problems, disconnect the phone. If other phones on the same line
work properly, the fault is in this phone or its installation. If you cannot find the prob-
lem, take your ET-1111 to your local RadioShack store for assistance.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your RadioShack ET-1111 900 MHz Digital Spread Spectrum Cordless Telephone
is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will
help you care for your ET-1111 so you can enjoy it for years.
Keep the ET-1111 dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids
might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.
Use and store the ET-1111 only in normal temperature environments.
Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, dam-
age batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.
Keep the ET-1111 away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature
wear of parts.
Handle the ET-1111 gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage cir-
cuit boards and cases and can cause the ET-1111 to work improperly.
Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.
Batteries can leak chemicals that damage your ET-1111’s electronic
parts.
Wipe the ET-1111 with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking
new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong deter-
gents to clean the ET-1111.
Modifying or tampering with the ET-1111’s internal components can cause a mal-
function and might invalidate its warranty and void your FCC authorization to oper-
ate it. If your ET-1111 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-1111 until you have resolved
the problem.

• Be careful not to short the battery
pack by touching the connector’s
pins with conducting materials, such
as rings, bracelets, and keys. The
battery pack or conductor might
overheat and burn.
REPLACING THE
BATTERY PACK
If you follow the instructions in “Connect-
ing and Charging the Battery Pack” on
Page 8, the battery pack should last
about one year. If the battery pack does
not hold a charge for more than 2 hours
after an overnight charge, replace it with
a new 3.6V, 600 mAh battery pack with
a connector that fits the socket in the
battery compartment. You can order a
replacement battery pack through your
local RadioShack store.
If you have trouble replacing the battery
pack, take the phone to your local Ra-
dioShack store for assistance.
Important: This product contains a re-
chargeable nickel-cadmium battery
pack. At the end of the battery pack’s
useful life, it must be recycled or dis-
posed of properly. Contact your local,
county, or state hazardous waste man-
agement authorities for information on
recycling or disposal programs in your
area. Some options that might be avail-
able are: municipal curb-side collection,
drop-off boxes at retailers such as your
local RadioShack store, recycling collec-
tion centers, and mail-back programs.
Install the new battery pack as de-
scribed below, then charge it for about
24 hours.
1. Press down and slide off the battery
pack compartment cover as shown.
2. Lift the battery pack out of the com-
partment, then gently pull on the
battery connector to disconnect it.
3. Insert the new battery pack’s con-
nector into the socket in the com-
partment and place the battery pack
into the compartment.
4. Replace the cover.
Cautions:
• You must use a replacement battery
pack of the same size and type.
• Do not dispose of the battery pack in
a fire because it might explode.
• Do not open or mutilate the battery
pack.

If you cannot eliminate the interference,
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 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.
Some cordless telephones operate on
frequencies that might cause interfer-
ence to nearby TVs and VCRs. To mini-
mize 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 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.
Your telephone has built-in lightning pro-
tection to reduce the risk of damage
from surges in telephone line and power
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 in-
terference 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 it. Try to
eliminate the interference by:
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.
• moving your phone away from the
receiver
• connecting your phone to an AC
outlet that is on a different electrical
circuit from the receiver
• contacting your local RadioShack
store for help
