• 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. 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 (three  
in rural areas), your phones might not  
ring. If ringer operation is impaired, re-  
move one of the devices from the line.  
• 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  
Radio or TV.  
Consult your local RadioShack store if  
the problem still exists.  
FCC STATEMENT  
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  
• party-line systems

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,  
return the handset to the base for  
about 5 seconds. This resets the  
security access-protection code.  
• If the handset’s battery pack is com-  
pletely depleted, the security  
access-protection code might be  
lost. To reset the code, return the  
handset to the base for about 5 sec-  
onds.  
2. Install the battery pack so the slots  
on the upper ends engage with the  
tabs on the compartment.  
3. Replace the cover.  
To charge the battery pack, place the  
handset either faceup or facedown on  
the base. The CHARGE/IN USE indica-  
tor on the base lights and Total:00  
appear on the handset display.  
• Using a pencil eraser, clean the  
charging contacts on the handset  
and the base about once a month.  
CHARGE/  
IN USE  
• If the battery pack becomes weak  
during a call, the handset beeps  
every 3 seconds and Low Bat-  
tery flashes. When this happens,  
you cannot make another call on the  
phone until you recharge the battery  
pack.  
Indicator  
Recharge the battery pack when Low  
Batteryflashes on the display.  
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.  
• About once a month, fully discharge  
the battery pack by keeping the  
handset off the base until Low  
Battery flashes. Otherwise, the  
battery pack loses its ability to fully  
recharge.

• 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.)  
The battery pack in the charging slot  
also works as an auxiliary power source  
for the base in case of power failure.  
• If you are not going to use your  
phone for a month or longer, discon-  
nect the battery pack. This  
increases the battery pack’s usable  
life.  
SETTING THE DIALING  
MODE  
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.  
• 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  
“Replacing the Battery Pack” on  
Page 25).  
Second Battery Pack  
The ET-1119 is supplied with two bat-  
tery packs. You can charge the second  
battery pack in the slot on the side of the  
base while you are using the first one in  
the handset. Position the battery pack  
so the side with the contacts faces up,  
and insert it into the charging slot until it  
clicks into place.  
1. Be sure PULSE/TONE is set to  
TONE.  
2. Lift the handset, press TALK, and  
listen for a dial tone.  
3. Press any number other than 0.  
Note: If your phone system requires that  
you dial an access code (9, for example)  
before you dial an outside number, do  
not dial the access code either.  
Charge the battery pack for 24 hours.  
When charging is complete, pull up on  
the latch to remove the battery pack  
from the slot.

CALLER ID OPERATION  
If you subscribe to Caller ID service from  
your phone company, the phone compa-  
ny sends information about the call, as  
well as the time and date, after the sec-  
ond ring of every call you receive. The  
ET-1119 displays this information when  
it receives a call, and it stores up to 50  
Caller ID records for later review. It also  
shows if caller information is unavailable  
or if the name and number were blocked  
by the caller (see “Troubleshooting” on  
Page 22).  
Note: If the handset is faceup on the  
base, it shows the number of Caller ID  
records, so you can see if you have new  
records to review.  
Repeatedly press to scroll through the  
Caller ID records from the newest to the  
oldest, or to scroll back through the  
records. To scroll quickly through the  
records, hold down or .

the handset when a call comes in, then  
the Caller ID record appears. If you want  
to answer the incoming call, press  
The top line of each record shows the  
date, time and the number of calls from  
that number. The second line shows the  
caller’s name, and the third line shows  
the caller’s phone number.

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 con-  
nected and charged.  
Return the handset to the base for a few sec-  
onds 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 posi-  
tion.  
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 LowBat-  
teryindication 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 computers,  
remote control toys, wireless microphones,  
alarm systems, intercoms, room monitors, flu-  
orescent lights, microwave ovens, other cord-  
less telephones, 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 (hand-  
set’s range has decreased).  
Lift the base’s antenna to a fully vertical posi-  
tion.  
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 “Replacing the  
Battery Pack” on Page 25).  
Handset does not ring or receive Lift the base’s antenna to a fully vertical posi-

tion.  
Move the handset closer to the base.  
Move the base away from other electrical  
devices.  
Recharge the battery pack.  
You have an incoming call, but  
do not receive any Caller ID  
information.  
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-1119 to your local RadioShack store for assistance.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
Your RadioShack  
ET-1119 2.4 GHz Digital Spread Spectrum Cordless Telephone  
is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will  
help you care for your ET-1119 so you can enjoy it for years.  
Keep the ET-1119 dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids  
might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.  
Use and store the ET-1119 only in normal temperature environments.  
Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, dam-  
age battery packs, and distort or melt plastic parts.  
Keep the ET-1119 away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature  
wear of parts.  
Handle the ET-1119 gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage cir-  
cuit boards and cases and can cause the ET-1119 to work improperly.  
Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.  
Batteries can leak chemicals that damage your ET-1119’s electronic  
parts.  
Wipe the ET-1119 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-1119.  
Modifying or tampering with the ET-1119’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-1119 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 compa-  
ny can ask you to disconnect your ET-1119 until you have resolved the problem.

battery pack or conductor might  
overheat and burn.  
REPLACING THE  
BATTERY PACK  
If you have trouble replacing the battery  
pack, take the phone to your local Ra-  
dioShack store for assistance.  
If you follow the instructions in “Installing  
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, 800 mAh battery pack. You  
can order a replacement battery pack  
through your local RadioShack store. In-  
stall the new battery pack as described  
below, then charge it for about 24 hours.  
Important: This tele-  
phone can use nickel-  
cadmium rechargeable  
batteries. At the end of a  
nickel-cadmium battery's  
useful life, it must be re-

cycled or disposed of properly. Contact  
your local, county, or state hazardous  
waste management authorities for infor-  
mation on recycling or disposal pro-  
grams in your area or call 1-800-843-  
7422. Some options that might be avail-  
able are: municipal curbside collection,  
drop-off boxes at retailers such as your  
local RadioShack store, recycling collec-  
tion centers, and mail-back programs.  
1. Press down and slide off the battery  
pack compartment cover.  
2. Lift the battery pack out of the com-  
partment.  
3. Install the battery pack so the slots  
on the upper ends engage with the  
tabs on the compartment.  
4. Replace the cover.  
Warning: Dispose of the battery pack  
promptly and properly. Do not dispose of  
the battery pack in a fire because it  
might explode.  
Cautions:  
• You must use a replacement battery  
pack of the same size and type.  
• Do not open or mutilate the battery  
pack.  
• Be careful not to short the battery  
pack by touching the connector’s  
pins with conducting materials, such  
as rings, bracelets, and keys. The

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
