Important:
• Cordless phones such as this one
require AC power to operate. When
the power is off, you cannot make or
receive calls using your ET-1109. To
be safe, you should also have a
phone that does not need AC powe r
to operate (not a cordless phone),
so you can still make and receive
calls if there is an AC power failure.
• Your phone operates on standard
radio frequencies as allocated by
the FCC. It is possible for other radio units operating nearby on similar
frequencies to unintentionally intercept your conv ersation or cause in terference. This possible lack of
privacy can occur with any cordless
phone.

also shows if caller information is unavailable or if the name and number
were blocked by the caller (see “Caller

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 discon tinue 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 it.
If you cannot eliminate t he interference ,
the FCC requires that you stop using
your phone.
Some cordless phones operate at frequencies that might cause interference
to nearby TVs and VC Rs. To minimize
or prevent such interference, the base of
the cordless phone 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 phone line and power line
current. This lightning protection meets
or exceeds FCC requirements. However, lightning striking the telephone or
power lines can damage your phone.
Lightning damage is not c ommon. Nevertheless, if you live in an area that has
severe electrical storms, we suggest
you unplug your phone dur ing storms t o
reduce the possibility of damage.
Try to eliminate the interference by:
• moving your phone away from the
receiver
• connecting your phone to an AC
outlet that is on a different elect rical
circuit from the receiver
• contacting your local RadioShack
store for help
