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-1112. To be safe, you
should also have a phone that 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 AC power is lost, the ET- 11 12
loses the secur ity access- protection
code connection between the base
and the handset. When power is
restored, put the handset on the
base briefly to restore this connection so you can use the handset.

INSTALLATION
We have designed your phone to conform to federal re gulations and you can
connect it to most phone lines. However,
each device that you connect to the telephone line draws power from the line.
We refer to this power draw as the
phone’s ringer equivalence number, or
REN. The REN is on the bottom of your
phone.
If you use more than one phone or other
device on the line, add up all the RENs.
If the total is more than fiv e (three in rural areas), your pho nes m ight not r in g. If
ringer operation is impaired, remove one
of the devices from the line.
This symbol is intended to alert
you to the presence of uninsulated dangerous voltage within
the product’s enclosure that might
be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric sh ock. Do
not open the product’s case.
