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.
