This symbol is intended to aler t you
to the p r es en c e o f un in su lated d an gerous voltage within the product’s
enclosure that might be of suf ficient
magnitude to constitute a risk of

To use the System’s Caller ID features, you must be in an area whe re
Caller ID service is available and you
must subs cr i be to th at se r vice.
Where Caller ID is offered, one or
more of the following options are ge nerally available:
• Caller’s number only
• Caller’s name only
• Caller’s name and number
Important: Cordless phones such as
this one require AC power to operate.
When the A C power is off, you cannot
dial out or receive i ncoming calls using your ET-545. For this reason, the
ET-545 cordless phone s hould not be
your only telephone. To be safe, y ou
should also have a phone that does
not require AC power to operate (not a
cordless phone) so you can still make
and receive calls if there is an AC
power failure.

Your ET-545 operates on standard radio frequencies, as allocated by the
FCC. Therefore, it is possible for other
radio units operating on similar frequencies, within a certain area, to inadvertently intercept your conversations and/or cause interference on
your cordless telephone. This lack of
privacy can occur with any cordless
telephone.

time, you must connect the battery
pack in the handset and cha rge it for
about 15 hours.
Slide off the battery compartment cover on the back of the handset. Connect the battery pack’s plug to the pins
inside the compartment. Then replace
the cover.

CHARGING THE
BATTERY PACK
Charge the battery pack by placing
the handset on the base so the

You can recharge the battery pack at
any time, but be sure to recharge it
when LOW BATT on the handset

occur when you recharge a battery pack that has been completely discharged.
If this happens, return the handset
to the base for 5 seconds with

• If the CHARGE/TALK indicator
does not light wh en you place the
handset on the base, be s ure the
battery pack is connected to the
pins inside the handset’s battery
compartment and the A C adapter
is securely connected to the base.
Also, check the charging contacts
on the handset and base. If the
contacts on the base are dirty or
tarnished, gently clean them with
a small brush. If the contacts on
the handset are dirty or tarnished,
clean them with a pencil eraser.

• About once a month, fully discharge the battery pack by keeping the handset off the base until
LOW BATT lights. Then return the
handset to the base and fully
recharge the battery pack. If you
do not fully discharge and
recharge the battery pack periodically, it loses its ability to fully
recharge.
• To avoid damage to the battery
pack, always recharge the handset before battery power grows
too weak to light the LOW BATT
indicator.
• If you are not going to use your
phone for an extended period of
time, disconnect its battery. This
helps to increase the battery’s
usable life.
