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.
