FEATURES
Your RadioShack ET-1105 Digital
Spread Spectrum 900 MHz Cordless
Telephone uses advanced digital cordless technology to give you superior
sound quality and extended range. The
telephone digitizes and scrambles your
conversation before transmitting it between the handset and the base, so your
conversatio n is secure from int ercepti on
by other cordles s telephone or scanner
users. Its cordless operation lets you
handle calls jus t ab out a n yw here in y our
home or office.
The phone can displ ay a caller’s phone
number, name (if available), and the
date and time the call was received. It
can store up to 45 records as provided
by your local phone company to Caller
ID service subscribers.
If you have Call Wa iting with Caller ID,
the phone displays inco min g cal le r inf ormation for a new call when you are already on the phone.
The ET-1105 has these features:
Headset Jack
— lets you connect an optional headset (such as RadioShack Cat.
No. 43-195) for hands-fr ee con venience
while you use the phone.

a button.
900 MHz Operation

sound and less in terference than many
other cordless phones.
Digital Spread Spectrum
— provides
the longest range and the utmost in security. Frequencies are constantly
changing across the entire 900 MHz
band, making your calls impossible to

Important Caller ID Information
To use the phone’s Caller ID and Call
Waiting features, you must be in an area
where Caller ID an d Cal l Wa iting s ervic es are available and you must subscribe
to the services.
Where Caller ID is offered, one or more
of the following options are generally
available:
• Caller’s number only
• Caller’s name only
• Caller’s name and number
For the ET-1105’s Caller ID memory dial
feature to operate, you must re ceive the
caller’s number.
Important:
this one require AC power to operate.
When the AC power is off, you cannot
dial out or recei ve incoming calls using
your ET-1105. For this reason, the ET1105 cordless phone should not be your
only telephone. To be safe, you should
also have a c orded phone that does not
require AC power to ope rate s o yo u can
still make and receive calls if there is an
AC power failure.
Your telephone operates on standard radio frequencies as allocated by the FCC.
Even though the acces s pr ote ction co de
prevents unauthorized use of your phone
line, it is possible for other radio units operating on similar frequencies within a
certain area to unintentionally intercept
your conversations and/or cause inter-
Cordless phones such as

with any cordless phone.

If you are using more than one phon e or

43-1105.fm Page 10 Monday, August 30, 1999 1:57 PM
Notes:
• You can place the handset on the
base face down or face up without
removing the belt clip. If you want to
use the hanging hole on t he back of
the handset to place th e hands et on
the wall-mounted base face-up, remove the belt clip (see “Removing
the Belt Clip” on Page 13). However,
the battery pack will no t fully charge
in this position.
• When you first use the phone afte r
charging or recharging the battery
pack, the phone might not wor k and
you might hear an error tone when
you press
TALK. If th is happens, re-
turn the handset to the base for
about 6 seconds. This resets the security access protection code.
• If the CHARGE indicator does not
light when you place the handset on
the base, be sure the battery pack
and AC adapter are correctly and
securely connected.
Also, check the charging contacts
on the handset and the base. If the
contacts are dirty or tarnished,
clean them with a pencil eraser.

pack.

the battery pack loses its ability to
fully rechar ge.
• To avoid damage to the battery
pack, always recharge the handset
before battery power grows too
weak to display .
• 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.
• The supplied battery pack should
last for about a year. When it loses
its ability to fully recharge, order a
replacement batter y pack from your
local RadioShack store (see “Replacing the Battery Pack” on
Page 26).
• If the battery pack gets completely
discharged or the ba se loses power

CODE
When you return a ca ll from a Caller ID

you store one local area c ode and thr ee
neighborhood area code s. If the number
you call has the same area code with
your local area code, the ET-1105 dials
the 7-digit local number. If the number
you call has the same area code with one
of three neighborhood area codes, the
ET-1105 dials the 10-digit local number.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your RadioShack ET-1105 Digital Spread Spectrum 900 MHz Cordless Telephone
is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will
help you care for your phone so you can enjoy it for years.
Keep the phone dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids
might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.
Use and store the phone only in normal temperature environments.
Temperature extreme s can sh orten the life of ele ctronic de vices, damage batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.
Keep the phone awa y from dust and dirt, which can cause prem ature
wear of parts.
Handle the phone gen tly and carefu lly. Dropping it can damag e circuit
boards and cases and can cause the phone to work improperly.
Use only fresh batteries of the required si ze and recommended type.
Batteries can leak chemicals that damage your phone’s electronic
parts.
Wipe the phone with a damp clo th occasi onally to keep it look ing new.
Do not use harsh c he mi cals , c leani ng so lv ent s, or s trong detergents to
clean the phone.
Modifying or tampering with the phone’s internal components can cause a malfunction and might invalidate its warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it.
If your phone is not perform ing as it s hould, tak e it to yo ur local Ra dioShac k store
for assistance. If the trouble is affecting the tele phone lines, the phone compa ny
can ask you to disconnect your phone until you have resolved the problem.

THE FCC WANTS YOU TO
KNOW
In the unlikely event that your phone
causes problems on the phone line, the
phone company can t emporar ily disc ontinue your service. If this happens, the
phone company attempts to notify you in
advance. If advance notice i s not pr actical, the phone compan y 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 lin es, 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. I f the interference goes
away, your phone is causing the interference. Try to eliminate the interference
by:
If you cannot eliminate t he interference ,
the FCC requires that you stop using
your phone.
Some cordless telephones operate on
frequencies that may 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 telepho ne line and power line
current. This lightning protection meets
or exceeds FCC requirements. However,
lightning striking t he telep hone or power
lines can damage your telephone.
Lightning damage is not c ommon. Nevertheless, if you live an area that has severe electrical storms, we suggest that
you unplug your phone dur ing storms t o
reduce the possibility of damage.
• Moving your phone away from the
receiver
• Connecting your phone to an AC
outlet that is on a different electri cal
circuit from the receiver
• Contacting your local RadioShack
