Important:
• Cordless phones such as this one
require AC power to operate. When
the AC power is off, you cannot dial
out or receive incoming calls using
your ET-1111. To be safe, you
should also have a phone th at does
not need AC power to operate (not a
cordless phone) so you can still
make and receive calls if there is an
AC power failure.
• When the battery pack is completely
discharged, the ET-1111 loses the
security access-protection code
connection between the base and
the handset. Recharge or replace
the battery pack and place the
handset on the base to restore the
code.
