INSTALLATION
MOUNTING THE PHONE
You can place the ET-1119’s base on a
desk or table, mount it on a standard
wall plate, or mount it direc tly on a wall.
Choose a location that is:
• near an AC outlet
• near a telephone line jack
• out of the way of normal activities
• away from electrical machinery,
electrical applia nces, metal walls or
filing cabinets, wireless intercoms,
alarms, and room monitors
• away from other cordless phones
The base’s location affects the handset’s range. If you have a choi ce of several locations, try each to see which
provides the best performance.
Cautions:
You must use a Class 2
power source that su pplies
!
9V DC and delivers at least
500 mA. Its center tip must be set to
positive and its plug m ust fi t the ET1119's

INSTALLING AND
CHARGING THE BATTERY
PACK
The ET-1119 comes with a rechargeable Ni-Cd battery pack. Before using
your phone, you must install the battery
pack, then charge it for about 24 hours.
43-1119.fm Page 9 Thursday, September 16, 1999 1:58 PM
Follow these steps to ins tall and charge
the battery pack.
1. Press down and slide off the batt ery

2. Install the battery pack so th e slots
on the upper ends engage with the
tabs on the compartment.
3. Replace the cover.
To charge the battery pack, place the

Notes:
• When you firs t use the phone after
charging or recharging the battery
pack, the phone might n ot work and
you might hear an error tone when
you press
TALK
. If this happens,
return the handset to the base for
about 5 seconds. This resets the
security access-protecti on code.
• If the handset’s batte ry pac k is completely 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

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 and date, after the second ring of every call you receive. The
ET-1119 displays this in formation when
it receives a call, and it stores up to 50
Caller ID records for later review. It als o
shows if caller information is unavailable
or if the name and number were blocked
by the caller (see “Troubleshooting” on
Page 22).
If you subscribe to Call Waiting with
Caller ID, you will hear a tone through
the handset when a call comes i n, then
the Caller ID record appears. If you want

TROUBLESHOOTING
We do not expect you to have any problems with your phone, but if you do, the following suggestions might help.
Problem Suggestion
The phone does not work or
works poorly.
The display flashes slowly when
the handset is faceup on the
base.
The handset stops working or
works poorly during a call.
Low volume or unusual sounds. Someone has picked up another phone on the

adapter are correctly and securely connected.
Be sure the battery pack in the handset is connected and charged.
Return the handset to the base for a few seconds to reset the security access-protection
code.
Be sure the battery pack in the handset is
properly connected.
Move the handset closer to the base.
Lift the base’s antenna to a fully vertical posi-
tion.
Be sure the handset’s battery pack is charged.

same line. Hang up the other phone.
Low Bat-
Severe noise interference Keep the handset away from computers,
remote control toys, wireless microphones,
alarm systems, intercoms, room monitors, fluorescent lights, microwave ovens, other cordless telephones, and electrical appliances.
Move to another location or turn off the source
of interference.
Hang up and redial the number.
22
43-1119.fm Page 23 Thursday, September 16, 1999 1:58 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 battery pack is properly connected.
Be sure the handset is properly seated on the
base.
Replace the battery pack (see “Replacing the
Battery Pack” on Page 25).
Lift the base’s antenna to a fully vertical position.
Move the handset closer to the base.
Move the base away from other electrical
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-1119 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 disc ontinue 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 you live in an area that has
severe electrical storms, we suggest
that you unplug your phone during
storms to reduce the possibility of damage.

receiver
• connecting your phone to an AC
outlet that is on a different elect rical
circuit from the receiver
• contacting your local RadioShack
