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.

CONNECTING AND
CHARGING THE BATTERY

The ET-1111 comes with a rechargeable Ni-Cd battery pack in the handset
but not connected. Before using your
phone, you must connect the battery
pack, then charge it for about 24 hours.

Recharge the battery pack when the
handset beeps every 3 seconds and

43-1111.fm Page 9 Tuesday, June 29, 1999 3:41 PM
Important: Be sure the battery pack is
properly connected before you try to
charge it. The CHARGE/INUSE indicator lights when the handset is on the
base, even if the battery pack is not connected.
Notes:
• When you first use the phone afte r
charging or recharging the battery
pack, the phone might not work and
you might hear an error tone when
you press
turn the handset to the base for
about 5 seconds. This resets the security access-protection code.
• If the handset’s battery pack is com pletely depleted, the security access-protection code might be lost.
To reset the code, return the handset to the base for about 5 seconds.
• Using a pencil eraser, clean the
charging contacts on the handset
and the base about once a month.

CALLER ID OPERATION
If you subscribe to Caller ID service from
your phone company, the phone company sends informatio n about the call, as
well as the time an d date, between the
first and second ring s of every call you
receive.
The ET-1111 displays this information
when it receives a call, and it st ores up
to 50 Caller ID records for later review. It
also shows if caller information is unavailable or if the name and number
were blocked by the caller (see “Caller
ID Messages” on Page 20).
If you subscribe to Call Waiting with

43-1111.fm Page 22 Tuesday, June 29, 1999 3:38 PM
Problem Suggestion
The phone cannot be operated at a
useful distance from the base
because the signal becomes weak
or noisy (handset’s range has
decreased).
The handset battery pack does not
charge.
Handset does not ring or receive a
page.
Lift the base’s antenna to a fully vertical
position.
Be sure neither the handset’s nor base’s
antenna is touching a metal surface.
Recharge the battery pack.
Check the charging contacts on the
handset and base. If they are dirty, clean
them with a pencil eraser.
Be sure the bat ter y pac k is pr ope rly connected.
Be sure the handset is properly seated
on the base.
Replace the battery pack (see “Replacing the Battery Pack” on Page 24).

Move the handset closer to the base.
Move the base away from other electri-
cal devices.
Recharge the battery pack.
You have an incoming call, but do
not receive any Caller ID information.
Let the phone ring twice before you
answer so the system has time to record
the Caller ID information.
Check that the system is correctly and
securely connected.
Call your phone company to verify that
your Caller ID service is active.
If you still have problems, di sconnect the phone. If other phones on the same line
work properly, the fault is in this phone or its installa tion. If you cannot fin d the problem, take your ET-1111 to your local RadioShack store for assistance.

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. 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 might cause interference to nearby TVs and V CRs. To m inimize or prevent such interference, the
base of the cordless telephone should
not be placed near or on top of a T V or
VCR.
LIGHTNING
Your telephone has built-in lightning protection to reduce the risk of damage
from surges in teleph one li ne an d po wer
line current. This lightning protection
meets or exceeds FCC requirements.
However, lightning striking the telephone or power lines can damage your
telephone.
Lightning damage is not c ommon. Nevertheless, if y ou live in an area that has
severe electrical storms, we suggest
that you unplug your phone during
storms to reduce the possibility of damage.
• 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
