This telephone has been tested and  
found to comply with all applicable  
FCC and UL standards.  
READ THIS BEFORE  
INSTALLATION  
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.  
Note: Your 25-Channel Cordless Tele-  
phone with 10-Number Memory oper-  
ates on standard radio frequencies, as  
allocated by the FCC. Therefore, it is  
possible for other radio units operating  
on similar frequencies, within a certain  
area, to inadvertently intercept your  
conversations and/or cause interfer-  
ence on your cordless telephone. This  
lack of privacy can occur with any  
cordless telephone.  
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.  
Warning: To prevent fire or shock haz-  
ard, 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.  
FCC STATEMENT  
This telephone complies with Part 68  
of FCC Rules. You must, upon re-  
quest, provide the registration number  
and the REN to your phone company.  
These numbers are located on the bot-  
tom of your phone.  
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.  
Note: You must not connect your  
phone to any of the following:  
• Coin-operated systems  
• Party-line systems  
This symbol is intended to inform  
you that important operating and  
maintenance instructions are in-  
cluded in the literature accompany-  
ing this product.

PREPARATION  
CONNECTING THE  
BATTERY  
SELECTING A LOCATION  
You can place your phone on a desk,  
shelf, or table, or mount it on a wall.  
Select a location that is:  
Before you use your phone for the first  
time, you must connect the battery,  
then charge it for about 12-15 hours.  
• Near an AC outlet  
• Near a telephone line jack  
• Out of the way of normal activities  
Slide off the battery compartment cov-  
er on the back of the handset. Connect  
the battery to the pins inside the bat-  
tery compartment.  
• Away from fluorescent lights, elec-  
trical machinery, electrical appli-  
ances, and metal walls or filing  
cabinets  
• Away from computers, remote  
control toys, wireless intercoms,  
alarms, and room monitors  
Then replace the cover, install the  
handset’s antenna, mount the phone  
(see “Selecting a Location”), and follow  
the instructions under “Charging the  
Battery.”  
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.  
Notes:  
• If the phone line jack is not a mod-  
ular jack, you must update the wir-  
ing. You can do this yourself,  
using jacks and adapters avail-  
able at your local Radio Shack  
store, or you can let the phone  
company update the wiring for  
you.  
INSTALLING THE  
HANDSET’S ANTENNA  
Insert the antenna into the hole at the  
top of the handset, then rotate the an-  
tenna clockwise until it is secure.  
• The phone company will charge  
you for the installation of the nec-  
essary jacks.

43-1046.fm Page 6 Tuesday, August 17, 1999 11:05 AM  
• The USOC number of the jack to  
be installed is RJ11W for a wall  
jack or RJ11C for a baseboard  
jack.  
5. Place the handset upright over the  
charging contacts on the top of  
the base (see “Charging the Bat-  
tery”).  
Caution: You must use a 120 VAC/12  
VDC adapter that delivers at least 200  
milliamps. Its plug must correctly fit the  
12VDC  
phone’s  
jack. The supplied  
adapter meets these requirements.  
Using an adapter that does not meet  
these requirements could damage the  
phone or the adapter.  
Note: The phone will not charge if  
you try to use the charging con-  
tacts on the side of the base while  
it is flat on a desk top.

• The first time you use your phone  
after installing a new 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.  
SETTING THE DIALING  
MODE  
Set TONE/PULSE on the base for the  
type of service you have. If you are not  
sure which type you have, do this test.  
1. Set TONE/PULSE to TONE.  
If this happens, be sure RINGER  
ON/OFF is set to ON. Then return  
the handset to the cradle for 5  
seconds. This resets the security  
access code.  
• If the CHARGE indicator does not  
light when you place the handset  
on the cradle, be sure the battery  
is connected to the pins inside the  
battery compartment, and the AC  
adapter is securely connected to  
the base.  
2. Lift the handset, press TALK, and  
listen for a dial tone.  
3. Press any number other than 0.  
If the dial tone stops, you have touch-  
tone service. Leave TONE/PULSE set  
to TONE.  
Also, check the charging contacts  
on the handset and base. If the  
contacts are dirty or tarnished,  
gently clean them with a pencil  
eraser.  
If the dial tone continues, you have  
pulse (rotary) service. Set TONE/  
PULSE to PULSE.  
• About once a month, fully dis-  
charge the battery. Keep the  
handset off the cradle until BATT  
LOW lights. Then return the hand-  
set to the cradle and recharge the  
battery for about 10 hours.

Numbers  
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  
pause at the appropriate point when  
you store a phone number in memory.  
When calling special services (such as  
alternate long distance or bank by  
phone), dial the service’s main number  
first. Then, at the appropriate place in  
the call, press MEMORY and the num-  
ber for the location where the addition-  
al information is stored.  
Testing Stored Emergency  
Numbers  
When storing a number, press PAUSE  
to enter a 3-second pause. For a long-  
er pause, press PAUSE again (each  
press enters a 3-second pause).

number (police department, fire de-  
partment, ambulance) and you choose  
to test the stored number, make the  
test call during the late evening or early  
morning hours to avoid peak demand  
periods. Also, remain on the line to ex-  
plain the reason for your call.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
Your Radio Shack ET-546 25-Channel Cordless Telephone with 10-Number Mem-  
ory is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions  
will help you care for your phones 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.

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 Radio Shack 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.

Caution: 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.  
REPLACING THE  
BATTERY  
If you follow the instructions in “Charg-  
ing the Battery,” the supplied battery  
should last about one 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 Radio Shack store.  
Install the new battery as described  
below, then charge the battery (see  
“Charging the Battery”).  
THE FCC WANTS YOU  
TO KNOW  
1. Slide off the battery compartment  
cover on the back of the handset  
as shown.  
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.  
2. Gently pull on the battery wires to  
disconnect the plug, then remove  
the battery.  
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.  
3. Insert a fresh battery and connect  
its plug to the pins inside the bat-  
tery compartment.  
4. Replace the cover.

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  
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.  
• Moving your phone away from the  
receiver  
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.  
• Connecting your phone to an AC  
outlet that is on a different electri-  
cal circuit from the receiver  
• Contacting your local Radio  
Shack store for help  
If you cannot eliminate the interfer-  
ence, the FCC requires that you stop  
using your phone.
