Important: Cordless phones such as
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-1110. For t his reason, the ET­1110 cordless phone s houl d not be y our
only telephone. To be saf e, you should
also have a phone that does not require
AC power to operate (not a cordless
phone) so you 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 access prot ectio n code
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 inter­ference. This lack of privacy can occur
with any cordless phone.

READ THIS BEFORE
INSTALLATION

Each device that you connect to the
phone line draws po wer from the phone
line. We refer to this power draw as the
device’s
REN. The REN is on the bottom of the
base.

If you are using more than one phone or
other device on t he line, add up all the
RENs. If the total is more than five, your
phone might not ring. In rural areas, a to­tal REN of three might impair ringer oper­ation. If ringer operation is impaired,
remove a device from the line.
