FEATURES

Your RadioShack ET-1102 900 MHz
Digital Spread Spectrum Cordless Tele­phone uses advanced cordless tele­phone technology to give you superior
audio quality and extended range.

The ET-1102’s Caller ID unit records
each caller’s telephone number (and
name, if available in your area) and the
day and time of the call, as provided by
your local phone company to Caller ID
service subscribers. And, if you sub­scribe to Call Waiting with Caller ID, the
ET-1102 can show you the incoming
caller information, even when you are al­ready on the phone.

Your ET-1102 has these features:

Important:

• Cordless phones such as this one
require AC power to operate. W hen
the AC power is off, you cannot dial
out or receive incoming calls using
your ET-1102. 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 c alls if there is an
AC power failure.

• When AC power is lost, the ET-1 102
loses the security access-protection
code connection between the base
and the handset. When power is re­stored, put the handset on the base
briefly to restore this conne ction so
you can use the handset.

READ THIS BEFORE
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
REN. The REN is on the bo ttom 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, your phones
might not ring. In rural areas, a total
REN of three might impair ringer opera­tion. If ringer operation is impaired, re­move one of the devices from the line.

MOUNTING THE PHONE

You can place t he E T-1102’s base on a
desk 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 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 hand­set’s range. If you have a choice of sev­eral locations, try each to see which
provides the best performance.

Caution:

your ET-1102. Use only the supplied
adapter.

CONNECTING AND
CHARGING THE BATTERY
PACK

The ET-1102 comes with a recharge­able nickel-cadmium battery pack in the
handset but not connected. Before using
your phone, you must connect the bat­tery pack, then charge it for about 24
hours.

43-110 2.fm Page 10 Tuesday, August 17, 1999 4:37 PM

1. Press down and slide off the battery
pack compartment cover as shown.

2. Unfasten the plastic retainer strap
and lift the battery pack out of the
compartment.

3. Plug the battery pack’s connector in­to the socket in the compartment
(the connector fits only one way),
then replace the battery pack and
fasten the retainer strap.

4. Replace the cover.

To charge the battery pack, place the
handset either faceup or facedown on
the base. The CHARGE indicator on the
base lights and

Total:0 0

appears on

the handset display.

Important:

Be sure the battery pack is
properly connected before you try to
charge it. The CHARGE indicator lights
when the handset is on the base, even if
the battery pack is not connected.

Notes:

• When you first use the phone af ter
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 base loses power for 30 min­utes while the handset is away from
it, the security access-protection
code might be lost. To reset the
code, return the handset to the base
for about 5 seconds.

The handset does n ot lose i ts secu­rity access-protection code even if
the battery pack is completely dis­charged.

• Using a pencil eraser, clean the
charging contacts on the handset
and the base about once a month.

CALLER ID OPERATION

If you subscribe to Caller ID service from
your phone company, the phone compa­ny sends information about the call, as
well as the time and date, between the
first and second rings of every call you
receive.

The ET-1102 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 “Caller
ID Messages” on Page 21).

If you subscribe to Call Waiting with Call­er ID, you will hear a tone through the
handset when a call comes in, then the
Caller ID record appears. If you want to
answer the incoming call, press

The phone cannot be operated at a
useful distance from the base
because the signal becomes weak
or noisy (handset’s range has
decreased).

The handset battery pack does not
charge.

Handset does not ring or receive a
page.

Lift the base’s antenna to a fully vertical
position.

Be sure neither the handset’s nor base’s
antenna is touching a metal surface.

Recharge the battery pack.
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 con­nected.

Check that the system is correctly and
securely connected.

Call your phone company to verify that
your Caller ID s e rv ic e is activ e .

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 prob­lem, take your ET-1102 to your local RadioShack store for assistance.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Your RadioShack ET-1102 900 MHz Digital Spread Spectrum Cordless Telephone is
an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help
you care for your ET-1102 so you can enjoy it for years.

Keep the ET-1102 dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immedia tely. Liquids
might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.

Use and store the ET-1102 only in normal tempe rature environments.
Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, dam­age battery packs, and distort or melt plastic parts.

Keep the ET-1102 away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature
wear of parts.

Handle the ET-1102 gently and caref ully. Dropping it can damage c ir­cuit boards and cases and can cause the ET-1102 to work improperly.

Use only a battery p ack of the required size an d recommended type.
Batteries can leak c hemicals that damage your ET-1102’s electronic
parts.

Wipe the ET-1102 with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking
new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong deter­gents to clean the ET-1102.

Modifying or tampering with the ET-1102’s internal components can cause a malfunc­tion and might invalidate its warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it. If
your ET-1102 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 company can ask
you to disconnect your ET-1102 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 pack does
not hold a charge for more than 2 hours
after an overnight charge, replace it with
a new 3.6-volt, 600 mAh 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.

Install the new battery pack as de­scribed below, then charge it for about
24 hours.

4. Replace the cover.

Cautions:

• You must use a replacem ent bat tery
pack of the same size and type.

• Do not dispose of the battery pack in
a fire because it might explode.

• Do not open or m utilate the battery
pack.

1. Press down and slide off the battery
pack compartment cover as shown.

2. Unfasten the plastic retainer strap
and lift the battery pack out of the
compartment, then gently pull on the
battery connector to disconnect it.

3. Insert the new battery pack’s con­nector into the socket in the com­partment, place the battery pack into
the compartment, and refasten the
retainer strap.

• Be careful not to short the battery
pack by touching the connector’s
pins with conducting materials, such
as rings, bracelets, and keys. The
battery pack or conductor might
overheat and burn.

If you have tr ouble replacing the bat tery
pack, take the phone to your local Ra­dioShack store for assistance.

Important:

chargeable nickel-cadmium battery
pack. At the end of the battery pack’s
useful life, it must be recycled or dis­posed of properly. 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 such as your
local RadioShack store, recycling collec­tion centers, and mail-back programs.

THE FCC WANTS YOU TO
KNOW

In the unlikely event that your phone
causes problems on the phone lin e, the
phone company can temporaril y discon­tinue your service. If this happens, the
phone company attempts to notify you in
advance. If advance no tice is not prac ti­cal, the phone company notifies you as
soon as possible and advises you of
your right to file a complaint with the
FCC.

Also, the phone company can make
changes to its lines, equi pment, 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 might caus e 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 in terference goes
away, your phone is causing it. Try to
eliminate the interference by:

If you cannot eliminat e the interference,
the FCC requires that you stop using
your phone.

Some cordless telephones operate on
frequencies that might cause interfer­ence to nearby TVs and VCRs. To mi ni­mize or prevent such interference, the
base of the cordless telephone should
not be placed near or on top of a TV or
VCR.

LIGHTN ING

Your telephone has built-in lightning pro­tection to reduce the risk of damage
from surges in telephone line and p ower
line current. This lightning protection
meets or exceeds FCC requirements.
However, lightning striking the tele­phone or power lines c an damage your
telephone.

Lightning damage is not common. Nev­ertheless, if you live in an a rea that has
severe electrical storms, we suggest
that you unplug your phone during
storms to reduce the possib ility 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

• contacting your local RadioShack
store for help
