Important:
Cordless phones such as
this one require AC power to operate.
When the A C power is off, you c annot
dial out or receive incoming calls using
your cordless phone. For th is reason,
this cordless phone should not be your
only telephone. 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.
For your records, we urge you to
record the serial number of your phone
in the space below. The serial number
is located on the bottom panel of the
base.

INSTALLATION
We have designed your phone t o conform to federal regulations, and you
can connect it to most phone lines.
However, each device that you connect to the phone line draws power
from the line. We refer to this power
draw as the device’s

, or REN. The REN is
ringer equiva-
shown on the bottom of your phone.
If you are using more than one phone
or other device on the line, add up all
the RENs. If the total is more than five,
your phone might no t ring. In rural areas, a total REN of three might impair
ringer operation. If ringer operation is
impaired, remove a device from the
line.

SELECTING A
MOUNTING LOCATION
You can mount the base on a wall
plate or directly on a wall. Or, you can
place it on a desk, shelf, or table. Select a location that is:
• Near an AC outlet
• Near a telephone line jack
• Out of the way of normal activities
• Away from computers, remote
control toys, wireless microphones, wireless intercoms,
alarms and room monitors, fluorescent lights, electrical machinery, electrical appliances, metal
walls, filing cabinets, and other
large metal objects
For the best reception, you should be
able to fully extend the base’s antenna

which you must install, connect, and
charge for 15 hours before you use
your phone for the first time.
To install the battery:
1. Slide off the battery compartment
cover.
2. Insert the battery into the compartment so its connector can reach
the pins inside the compartment,
and secure it with the plastic
strap.
3. Slide the battery’s connector onto
the pins.
Caution:
one way; do not force it. If you
have difficulty sliding the connector onto the pins, turn it over and
try again.
4. Replace the cover, then follow the
instructions under “Charging the
Handset Battery’’ before you use
the phone.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your ET-518 Cordless Telephone with 9-Memory Speed-Dialing is an example of
superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for
your phone so you can enjoy it for years.
Keep the phone dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids
might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.
Handle the phone gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit boards and cases and can cause the phone to work improperly.
Use and store the phone o nly in n ormal tem perature environm ents.
Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices and
distort or melt plastic parts.
Keep the phone away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature
wear of parts.
Wipe the phone with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking

THE FCC WANTS YOU
TO KNOW
In the unlikely event that your phone
causes problems on the phone line,
the phone company can temporarily
discontinue your service. If this happens, the phone company at tempts to
notify you in advance. If advance notice is not practical, the phone company notifies you as soon as possible and
advises you of your right to file a com plaint with the FCC.

the pins inside the compartment.
Caution:
one way; do not force it. If you
have difficulty sliding the connector onto the pins, turn it over and
try again.

Also, the phone company can make
changes to its lines, equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect
the operation of the phone. The phone
company notifies you of these changes
in advance, so that you can take the
necessary steps to prevent interruption of your phone service.

Your phone m ight cause TV or radio
interference even when it is operat ing
properly. To determine whether your
phone is causing the interference, turn
off your phone. If the interference goes
away, your phone is ca using the interference. Try to eliminate interference
by:
• Moving your phone away from the
receiver
• Connecting your phone to an AC
outlet that is on a different electrical circuit from the receiver
• Contacting your local Radio
Shack store for help
If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you stop
using your phone.
LIGHTNING
Your phone has buil t-in protection circuits to reduce the risk of damage from
surges in phone line current. These
protection circuits meet or e xceed the
FCC requirements. However, lightning
striking the phone lines can damage
your phone.
Lightning damage is not common.
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.
