Important Information

READ THIS BEFORE INSTALLATION

Your phone is ETL listed to UL standards and meets all applicable FCC standards.

We have designed your telephone to conform to federal regulations, and you can connect it to most telephone lines. However, each device that you connect to the telephone line draws power from the telephone line. We refer to this power draw as the device's ringer equivalence number, or REN. The REN is on the bottom of your telephone’s base.

If you use more than one phone or other device on the line, add up all of the RENs. If the total is more than five (three in rural areas), your telephones might not ring. If ringer operation is impaired, remove a device from the line.

IMPORTANT CALLER ID INFORMATION

To use the phone’s Caller ID and Call Waiting features, you must be in an area where Caller ID and Call Waiting services are available and you must subscribe to the services.

Where Caller ID is offered, one or more of the following options are generally available:

• caller’s number only

• caller’s name only

• caller’s name and number

For the phone’s Caller ID memory dial feature to operate, you must receive the caller’s number.

Your telephone operates on standard radio frequencies as allocated by the FCC. Even though the access protection 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.

Important Information

Introduction

Your RadioShack ET-3507 900 MHz Dual Handset Phone offers the latest advances in cordless phone technology. The corded base and cordless handset operate through one phone jack. It saves up to 35 Caller ID records that you can review and call back using the corded base or cordless handset.

An FCC-compliant telephone cord with a modular plug is provided with this equipment. This equipment is designed to be connected to the telephone network or premises wiring using a compatible modular jack which is FCC Part 68-compliant. See “Installing the Corded Phone” on Page 6 for details.

This equipment is hearing aid compatible.

Introduction

Preparation

CHOOSING A LOCATION

The corded phone and cordless handset (with charging cradle) require only one phone jack for both phones. You can place the cordless handset and the charging cradle anywhere in your house, such as the kitchen, workshop or garage, without using a separate phone jack.

INSTALLING THE CORDED PHONE

You can place the corded phone on a desk or table, or mount it on a standard wall plate or directly on a wall. Use the supplied 12V, 300-mA AC/DC adapter to power the corded phone.

Select a location that is:

• near an easily accessible AC outlet

• near a telephone line jack

• out of the way of normal activities

• away from electrical machinery, electrical appliances, metal walls, filing cabinets, wireless intercoms, security alarms, and room monitors. The corded phone’s location affects the phone’s range. If you have a choice of several locations, try each to see which provides the best performance.

On a Desk

Desktop Stand

1. Insert the tabs on the top of the desktop stand into the slots on the phone’s base, then snap the stand’s bottom tabs into place.

2. Plug one end of the supplied modular cord into the

jack on the back of the corded phone.

Cautions:

You must use a Class 2 power source that supplies 12V DC and delivers at least 300

mA. Its center tip must be set to positive

and its plug must fit the corded phone's

300mA

jack. The supplied adapter meets these specifications. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could damage the phone or the adapter.

• Always connect the AC adapter to the phone before you connect it to AC power. When you finish, disconnect the adapter from AC power before you disconnect it from the phone.

Your telephone connects directly to a modular telephone line jack. If your telephone wiring does not have a modular jack, you can update the wiring yourself using jacks and adapters (available at your local RadioShack store), or have the telephone company update the wiring for you. You must use compatible modular jacks that are compliant with Part 68 of
