INSTALLATION
We have designed your phone to conform to federal regulations and you can
connect it to most phone lines. However,
each device that you connect to the telephone line draws power from the line.
We refer to this power draw as the
phone's Ringer Equivalence Number
(REN). The REN is shown 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, remove one
of the devices from the line.
FCC STATEMENT
Your telephone complies with Part 68 of
FCC Rules
provide the phone's FCC registration
number and REN to your telephone
company. These numbers are sh ow n on
the bottom of the phone.

Your ET-007 is listed to UL standards
and meets all applicable FCC standards.
Note:
You must not connect your ET-
007 to:
• coin-operated systems
• party-line systems
• most electronic key phone systems

The ET-007 also complies with the limits
for a Class B 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 ET-007 might cause TV
or radio interference even when it is operating properly. To eliminate interference, you can try one or more of the
following corrective measures.
• Reorient or relocate the TV's receiv-
ing antenna.
• Increase the distance between the
ET-007 and the radio or TV.
• Use outlets on different electrical cir-
cuits for the ET-007 and the radio or
TV.
The headset is not compatible with hearing aids. Therefore, the FCC prohibits its
use in the following locations:
• Any public or semi-public location
where coin-operated or credit card
telephones are found.
tions, if alternative signaling methods are not available.
• Work stations for hearing-impaired
personnel.
• Hotel, motel, or apartment building
lobbies.
• Stores where telephones are used
to call taxis, reserve lodging, or rent
automobiles.
• Some hotel and motel rooms. (At
least ten percent of the rooms mus t
contain hearing-aid compatible telephones, and hearing-aid compatible must be provided to hearing
impaired customers upon request.)
• Elevators, highways, and tunnels
(automobiles, subway, railroad, or
pedestrian), where a person with
impaired hearing might be isolated
in an emergency.
• Places where telephones are
installed specifically to alert emergency authorities such as fire,
police, or medical assistance personnel.
• Hospital rooms, where telephones
are used specifically for signaling

INSTALLATION
SELECTING A LOCATION
You can place the ET-007 on a des k or
table, mount it on a standard wall plate,
or mount it directly on a wall. Choose a
location that is:
• near an AC outlet
• near a modular telephone line jack
• out of the way of normal activities
Note:
Your ET-007 connects directly to
a modular telephone line jack. If your
phone line jack is not a modular 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.
Cautions:
You must use a Class 2
power source that supplies
!
9V DC and delivers at least
300 mA. Its center tip must be set to
positive and its plug must fit the ET-

plied adapter meets these spe cif ications. Using an adapter that does
not meet these specifications could
damage the ET-007 or the adapter.
• Always connect the AC adapter to
the ET-007 before you connect it to
AC power. When you finish, disconnect the adapter from AC power before you disconnect it from the ET-

• The INTERCOM and HOLD indicators on the corded phone stop
flashing after the headset charger
and wireless headset are connected, even when there is no
battery pack in the headset. If
they flash, move the headset and
charger closer to the corded
phone.
Remove the battery insulation strip from
the infrared remote dial card’s battery
compartment. Then place the dial card
in its cradle on the headset charger.
If you cannot operate the headset using
the remote dial card, you might need to
replace the dial card’s battery. Slide off
the battery compartment cover and use
a pointed object (such as a straightened
paper clip) to gently pry out the old battery. Insert a fresh CR2025 lithium button-cell battery (available from your local
RadioShack store), then replace the
cover.
Note:
To detach the supplied carry
strap, gently pull on the carry strap’s
small loop, then pull the strap through
the small loop. To reattach the strap,
slide the small loop into the carry strap
slot on the remote dial card. Then inser t
the strap through the small loop and pull
to tighten.
MOUNTING THE CORDED

You can use the supplied mounting
bracket to mount the corded base phone
on a wall.
Notes:
• When mounting the base telephone
on a wall plate, use the supplied
modular cord to connect the phone
to the wall plate jack.
• To mount the base telephone
directly on a wall, use two
(5mm) screws (not supplied). Drill
two holes 3
15
/16 inches (100 mm)
apart. Then thread a screw into
each hole, letting the heads extend
1
about
/8 inch (3 mm) from the wall.
1. To connect the bracket, insert the
tabs on the bracket into the slots in
the lower position on the base. Then
press the upper side of the bracket
to the base until it snaps into place.
To remove the bracket, press in the
upper tab on each side of the
bracket and lift the bracket away
from the base.
2. Plug one end of the supplied modular cord into the phone’s
jack and the AC adapter's barrel
plug into the DC jack.
