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.
