CAUTION

43-110 4.fm Page 3 Wednesday, August 18, 1999 8:05 AM

This telephone has been tested and
found to comply with all applicable UL
and FCC standards.

Important:

• Cordless phones such as this one
require AC power to operate. When
the AC pow er is off, you cannot dial
out or receive incoming calls using
your ET-1104. To be safe, you
should also have a phone t hat do es
not need AC power to operate (not a
cordless phone) so you can still
make and receive c all s if t here is an
AC power failure.

• When AC power is lost, the ET-1 104
loses the security access-protection
code connection between the ba se
and the handset. When pow er is re­stored, put the handset on the base
briefly to restore this connection so
you can use the handset.

We recommend you record your
phone’s serial number here. The num­ber is on the bottom of the base.

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.

INSTALLATION

MOUNTING THE PHONE

You can place t he E T-1104’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 modular 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-1104. Use only the supplied
adapter.

CONNECTING AND
CHARGING THE BATTERY
PACK

The ET-1104 comes with a rechargeable
nickel-cadmium battery pack in the
handset but not connected. Before using
your phone, you must connect the bat­tery pack and then charge it for about 24
hours.

1. Press down and slide off the cover
as shown.

2. Unfasten the plastic retainer strap
and lift the battery pack out of the
compartment. Plug the battery
pack’s connector into the socket in
the compartment. The connect or fits
only one way.

To charge the battery pack, place the
handset on the base either face-up or
face-down. The CHARGE indicator on
the base lights.

CHARGE Indicator

When the handset beeps and the L OW
BATT indicator on the handset flashes,
recharge the battery pack.

Notes:

• When you first use the phone after
charging or recharging the battery
pack, you m ight hear an erro r tone

3. Place the battery pack inside the
compartment and fasten the retainer
strap.

4. Replace the cover.

• If the battery pack gets completely
discharged or t he base loses power
while the handset is away from it,
the security access-protection code
needs to be reset. To reset the secu­rity code, place the handset on the
base. If it was the handset that lost
power, leave the handset on the
base to charge the battery pack.

• If the CHARGE indicator flickers
rapidly when you place the handset
on the base, be sure the battery
pack and AC adapter are correctly
and securely connected.

43-110 4.fm Page 11 Wednesday, August 18, 1999 8:05 AM

Also, check the charging contacts
on the handset and the b ase. If the
contacts are dirty or tarnished, clean
them with a pencil eraser.

• If the battery pack becomes weak
during a call, you hear a beep every
4 seconds and the LOW BATT indi­cator flashes. Recharge the battery
pack.

• About once a month, fully discharge
the battery pack by keeping the
handset off the base until the LOW
BATT indicator flashes. Otherwise,
the battery pack loses its ability to
fully recharge.

• If the LOW BATT indicator does not
light and the phone does not work,
recharge the battery pack . (The bat ­tery power might be too low to light
the indicator.)

• If you are not going to use your
phone for an extended period of
time, disconnect the battery pack.
This increases the battery pack’s
usable life.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Your ET-1104 900 M Hz Digital S pread Spe ctrum Cordl es s Tel ephone is an example
of superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for
your ET-1104 so you can enjoy it for years.

Keep the ET-1104 dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids
might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.

Use and store the ET-1104 only in normal temperature environment s.
Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, dam­age batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.

Keep the ET-1104 away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature
wear of parts.

Handle the ET-1104 gently and c arefully. Dropping it can damage cir­cuit boards and cases and can cause the ET-1104 to work improperly.

Use a battery pack of the required size and recommended type. Batter­ies can leak chemicals that damage your ET-1104’s electronic parts.

Wipe the ET-1104 with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking
new. Do not use h arsh chemicals, cleaning sol vents, or strong deter­gents to clean the ET-1104.

Modifying or tampering with the ET-1104’s internal components can cause a malfunc­tion and might invalidate it’s warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it. If
your ET-1104 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-1104 until you have resolved the problem.

THE FCC WA NTS YOU TO
KNOW

In the unlikely event that your phone
causes problems on t he phone line, the
phone company can temporarily discon­tinue your service. If this happens, the
phone company attempts to notify you in
advance. If advance notice is no t practi­cal, 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, 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 might cause 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 interference goes
away, your phone is causing it. Try to
eliminate the interference by:

If you cannot eliminate 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 mini­mize or prevent such interference, the
base of the cordless telephone should
not be placed near 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 a nd power
line current. This lightning protection
meets or exceeds FCC requirements.
However, lightning striking the tele­phone or power lines can damage your
telephone.

Lightning damage is not common. Nev­ertheless, if you live in a n 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

• contacting your local RadioShack
store for help
