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 ope rate (not a
cordless phone) so you c an still make
and receive calls if there is an AC power failure.
We recommend you record your
phone’s serial number here. The number is on the bottom of the base.

Notes:
• If the CHARGE indicator does not
light when you pla ce the handset

pack loses its ability to fully recharge.
• If the TALK/BATT LOW indicator
does not light and the phone does
not work, recharge the battery
pack. (The battery power might be
too low to light the indicator.)
• If the battery pack becomes weak
during a call, you hear a beep every 30 seconds and the TALK/
BATT LOW indicator flashes every 3 seconds. R echarge the battery pack.
• If the battery pack is completely
discharged, the h andset lo ses the
security access-protection code.
To reset the code, place the handset on the base and charge the
battery pack.
• The supplied battery pack should
last for about a year. When the
battery pack loses its ability to
fully recharge, order a replacement battery pack from your lo cal
RadioShack store (see “Replacing
the Battery Pack” on Page 20).
• When you first use the phone after
charging or recharging the battery
pack, the phone might not work
and you might hear an error to ne.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your ET-918/920 900-MHz Cordless Telephone with Headset Jack is an example of
superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for
your cordless 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 o nly in n ormal tem perature environm ents.
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 malfunction 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 RadioShack 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.

REPLACING THE
BATTERY PACK
If you follow the instructions in “Connecting and Charging the Battery
Pack” on Page 9, the battery pack
should last about one year. If the battery does not hold a charge (when the
phone is not i n use) for m ore than 2
hours after an overnight charge, replace the battery with a new 3.6 v olt,
600 milliamp battery with a co nnector
that fi ts the soc ket in the bat ter y com partment. You can order a replacement battery pack through your local
RadioShack store.
Install the new battery pack as described below, then charge the battery
for about 14 hours (see “Connecting
and Charging the Battery Pack” on
Page 9).

THE FCC WANTS YOU
TO KNOW
In the unlikely event that your phone
causes problems on the phone line,
the phone company can temporarily
discontinue your service. If this happens, the phone com pany attem pts to
notify you in advance. If adv ance notice is not practical, the phone company notifies you as soon as possible and
advises you of your right to file a com plaint with the FCC.
Also, the phone company can make
changes to its lines, equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect
the operation of this telephone. The
telephone company notifies you of
these changes in advance, so you can
take the necessary steps to prevent interruption of your telephone service.
Your phone m ight cause T V or radio

properly. To determine whether your
phone is causing the interference, turn
off your phone. If the interference goes

If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you stop
using your phone.
Some cordless t eleph ones operat e on
frequencies that might caus e interference to nearby TVs and VCRs. To
minimize or prevent such interference,
the base of the cordless telephone
should not be placed nea r or on top of
a TV or VCR.
LIGHTNING
Your telephone has built-in lightning
protection to reduce the risk of damage
from surges in telephone line and power line current. This lightning protection
meets or exceeds FCC requirem ents.
However, lightning striking the telephone or power lines can damage your
telephone.
Lightning damage is not common.
Nevertheless, 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
damage.
• Moving your phone away from the
receiver
• Connecting your phone to an AC
outlet that is on a different electrical circuit from the receiver
