					This telephone has been tested and   
					found to comply with all applicable UL   
					and FCC standards.   
					WARNING: To reduce the risk of   
					fire or shock hazard, do not ex-   
					pose this product to rain or mois-   
					ture.   
					Your telephone operates on standard   
					radio frequencies as allocated by the   
					FCC. Even though the security access-   
					protection code prevents unauthorized   
					use of your phone line, it is possible for   
					other radio units operating on similar fre-   
					quencies within a certain area to unin-   
					tentionally intercept your conversations   
					and/or cause interference. This lack of   
					privacy can occur with any cordless   
					phone.   
					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 symbol is intended to alert you to   
					the presence of uninsulated danger-   
					ous voltage within the product’s enclo-   
					sure that might be of sufficient   
					magnitude to constitute a risk of elec-   
					tric shock. Do not open the product’s   
					case.   
					Important Note: 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 phone. 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.   
					This symbol is intended to inform you   
					that important operating and mainte-   
					nance instructions are included in the   
					literature accompanying this product.   
					! 
					We recommend you record your   
					phone’s serial number here. The num-   
					ber is on the bottom of the base.

					READ THIS BEFORE   
					INSTALLATION   
					FCC STATEMENT   
					This 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 located on the bot-   
					tom of the base.   
					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   
					base.   
					Note: You must not connect your phone   
					to any of the following:   
					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   
					phones might not ring. In rural areas, a   
					total REN of three might impair ringer   
					operation. If ringer operation is impaired,   
					remove a device from the line.

					PREPARATION   
					SELECTING A LOCATION   
					ATTACHING THE   
					HANDSET’S ANTENNA   
					You can place the phone on a desk top   
					or table, mount it on a standard wall   
					plate, or mount it directly on a wall. Se-   
					lect a location that is:   
					Insert the antenna into the hole on the   
					top of the handset, then rotate the an-   
					tenna clockwise until it is secure.   
					• 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   
					• away from other cordless phones   
					The base’s location affects the hand-   
					set’s range. If you have a choice of sev-   
					eral locations, try each to see which   
					provides the best performance.   
					Caution: The supplied RadioShack AC   
					adapter was designed specifically for   
					your ET-919. Use only the supplied   
					adapter.   
					Notes:   
					• Your telephone connects directly to   
					a modular telephone line jack. If   
					your phone line jack is not a modu-   
					lar jack, you can update the wiring   
					yourself, using jacks and adapters   
					available at your local RadioShack   
					store. Or, you can let the phone   
					company update the wiring for you.   
					• The USOC number of the jack to be   
					installed is RJ11C (RJ11W if you   
					want to mount it on a wall plate).

					nection, lift it out of the compart-   
					ment, insert its connector into the   
					socket, then replace the battery   
					pack inside the compartment.   
					Also, check the charging contacts   
					on the handset and the base. If the   
					contacts are dirty or tarnished, clean   
					them with a pencil eraser.

					Press FLASH again to return to the first   
					call.   
					USING PAGE   
					To page the person who has the hand-   
					set or to locate the handset when the   
					phone is not in use, press PAGE on the   
					base. The handset beeps three times. If   
					you hold down PAGE for 2–3 seconds,

					you time to locate the handset.   
					If you do not have any special   
					Note:   
					phone services, pressing FLASH might   
					disconnect the current call.   
					USING TONE SERVICES   
					ON A PULSE LINE   
					Some special services, such as bank-   
					by-phone, require tone signals. If you   
					have pulse service, you can still use   
					these special tone services by following   
					these steps.   
					To stop it from beeping before it auto-   
					matically stops, press TALK.   
					1. Be sure T/P is set to P.   
					2. Dial the service’s main number.   
					MEMORY DIALING   
					3. When the service answers, press   
					. Any additional numbers you dial   
					are sent as tone signals.   
					You can store up to 9 numbers in mem-   
					ory, then dial a stored number by press-   
					ing a one-digit memory location number.   
					Each number you store can be up to 16   
					digits long.

					the handset to the base or press   
					TALK. The phone automatically   
					resets to the pulse mode.

					• To keep your accounts secure, we   
					recommend you do not store your   
					personal access code for services   
					such as bank-by-phone in a memory   
					location.   
					Entering a Pause   
					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. To do   
					so, press REDIAL. Each press enters a   
					2-second pause. For a longer pause,   
					press REDIAL additional times.   
					1. Press MEM. The TALK indicator   
					blinks.   
					Dialing a Memory Number   
					To dial a number stored in memory,   
					press TALK. The TALK indicator lights.   
					2. Enter the number and any tone and   
					pause entries (see “Entering a   
					Pause”).   
					When you hear a dial tone, simply press   
					MEM and enter the memory location   
					number for the number you want to dial.   
					Each tone or pulse entry uses   
					one digit of memory.   
					Note:   
					3. Press MEM again, then enter the   
					memory location number (1–9)   
					where you want to store the number.   
					A tone sounds to indicate that the   
					number is stored.   
					Chain-Dialing Service Numbers   
					For quick recall of numbers for special   
					services (such as alternate long dis-   
					tance or bank by phone), store each   
					group of numbers in its own memory lo-   
					cation.   
					To replace a stored number, simply   
					store a new number in its place.

					Numbers   
					the handset’s earpiece and micro-   
					phone.   
					If you store an emergency service’s   
					number (police department, fire depart-   
					ment, 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.   
					• If you place the handset on the base   
					to recharge it while the headset is   
					connected, be sure the handset   
					seats properly.   
					With a headset connected, you make or   
					answer calls as usual using the keys on   
					the handset.   
					USING A HEADSET   
					RadioShack also sells a leather carrying   
					case (Cat. No. 43-197) which lets you   
					hang the handset on your belt for hands-   
					free conversation when you are working   
					in the yard or garage.   
					You can make or answer calls with   
					hands-free convenience using an op-   
					3 
					tional headset that has a /32-inch (2.5   
					mm) plug. We recommend RadioShack   
					Cat. No. 43-194.   
					To connect the headset, insert the head-

					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   
					Low volume or unusual sounds.   
					Someone has picked up another phone   
					on the same line. Hang up the other   
					phone.   
					Severe noise interference.   
					Press CHANNEL to change the channel.   
					Keep the handset away from computers,   
					remote control toys, wireless micro-   
					phones, alarm systems, intercoms, room   
					monitors, fluorescent lights, and electri-   
					cal appliances.   
					Move to another location or turn off the   
					source of interference.   
					The phone cannot be operated at a   
					useful distance from the base   
					because the signal becomes weak or   
					noisy (the handset’s range has   
					decreased).   
					Lift the base’s antenna to a fully vertical   
					position.   
					Be sure neither the handset’s or base’s   
					antenna is touching a metal surface.   
					Return the handset to the base to   
					recharge the battery pack.   
					The handset battery 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 connected   
					correctly.   
					Handset does not ring or receive a   
					page.   
					Return the handset to the base to   
					recharge the battery pack.   
					Lift the base’s antenna to a fully vertical   
					position.   
					Move the handset closer to the base.   
					Move the base away from other electrical   
					devices.

					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, and the handset’s battery   
					pack is charged.   
					The handset stops working or works   
					poorly during a call.   
					Move the handset closer to the base.   
					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 BATT LOW indicator.)   
					Lift the base’s antenna to a fully vertical   
					position.   
					Make sure the charging contacts on the   
					handset and base are clean.   
					If the base lost power while the handset   
					was off of it, the security access-protec-   
					tion code might have changed. With the   
					handset removed from the base, restore   
					power to the base, then place the hand-   
					set back on the base. The CHARGE indi-   
					cator lights, indicating that the code is set   
					again.   
					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-919 to your local RadioShack store for assistance.

					CARE AND MAINTENANCE   
					Your ET-919 9-Memory 900-MHz Cordless Telephone is an example of superior de-   
					sign and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for your cord-   
					less telephone so you can enjoy it for years.   
					Keep the phone dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids might   
					contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.   
					Handle the phone gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit   
					boards and cases and can 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 new.   
					Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to   
					clean the phone.   
					Modifying or tampering with the phone’s internal components can cause a malfunc-   
					tion and might invalidate your phone’s warranty and void your FCC authorization to   
					operate it. If your phone is not performing as it should, take it to your local Ra-   
					dioShack 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 prob-   
					lem.

					3. Plug the new battery pack’s connec-   
					tor into the socket and place the bat-   
					tery pack into the compartment.   
					REPLACING THE   
					BATTERY PACK   
					If you follow the instructions in “Connect-   
					ing and Charging the Battery Pack” on   
					Page 11, the battery pack should last   
					about one year. If the battery does not   
					hold a charge for more than 2 hours af-   
					ter an overnight charge, replace the bat-   
					tery with a new 3.6 volt, 600 milliamp   
					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.   
					4. Replace the cover.   
					Cautions:   
					• You must use a replacement battery   
					pack of the same size and type.   
					Install the new battery pack as de-   
					scribed below, then charge the battery   
					pack for about 24 hours (see “Connect-   
					ing and Charging the Battery Pack” on   
					Page 11).   
					• Do not dispose of the battery pack in   
					a fire because it might explode.   
					• Do not open or mutilate the battery   
					pack.   
					Note: To avoid losing numbers stored in   
					memory, try to install and begin charging   
					the new battery pack within 3 minutes.   
					• Be careful not to short the battery   
					pack by touching it with conducting   
					materials, such as rings, bracelets,   
					and keys. The battery pack or con-   
					ductor might overheat and burn.   
					1. Press down and slide off the cover.   
					If you have trouble replacing the battery   
					pack, take the phone to your local Ra-   
					dioShack store for assistance.   
					2. Gently pull on the battery pack con-   
					nector to disconnect it, then remove   
					the battery pack.

					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.   
					off your phone. If the interference goes   
					away, your phone is causing the interfer-   
					ence. Try to eliminate the interference   
					by:   
					• 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   
					If you cannot eliminate the interference,   
					the FCC requires that you stop using   
					your phone.   
					THE FCC WANTS YOU TO   
					KNOW   
					Some cordless telephones operate on   
					frequencies that may cause interference   
					to nearby TVs and VCRs. To minimize   
					or prevent such interference, the base of   
					the cordless telephone should not be   
					placed near or on top of a TV or VCR.   
					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   
					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.   
					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.   
					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.   
					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
