FEATURES

Your Radio Shack ET-546 25-Channel
Cordless Telephone with 10-Number
Memory includes t he latest advances
in cordless phone technology. It in­cludes the following features:

25-Channel Auto-Scan

— automati­callly selects the channel w ith the best
performance and least interference.
You can also change the channel man­ually.

Advanced Super CCT Circuitr

—
provides clarity comparable to a cord­ed phone, reduces background noise,
and increases effective operating dis­tance.

Please read this owner’s manual care-

fully so you ca n enjoy all of your tele­phone’s features.

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,
the cordless phone should not be your
only telephone. To be safe, you should
also have a phone that does not re­quire AC power to operate (not a cord­less phone) so you can still make a nd
receive calls if there is an AC power
failure.

Note: Your 25-Channel Cordless Tele­phone with 10-Number Memory op er­ates 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. Thi s
lack of privacy can occur with any
cordless telephone.

READ THIS BEFORE
INSTALLATION

We have designed your t elephone to
conform to federal regulations, and
you can connect it to most telephone
lines. However, each device that you
connect to the phone line draws power
from the phone line. We refer to this
power draw as the device’s ringer
equivalence number, or REN. The
REN is shown on the b ottom 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.

PREPARATION

CONNECTING THE
BATTERY

Before you use your phone for the first
time, you must connect the battery,
then charge it for about 12-15 hours.

Slide off the battery compartment cov­er on the back of the handset. Connect
the battery to the pins inside the bat­tery compartment.

Then replace the cover, install the
handset’s antenna, mount the phone
(see “Selecting a Location”), and follow
the instructions under “Charging the
Battery.”

SELECTING A LOCA T ION

You can place your phone on a desk,
shelf, or table, or mount it on a wall.
Select a location that is:

• Near an AC outlet

• Near a telephone line jack

• Out of the way of normal activities

• Away from fluorescent lights, elec­trical machinery, electrical appli­ances, and metal walls or filing
cabinets

• Away from computers, remote
control toys, wireless intercoms,
alarms, and room monitors

The base’s location affects the phone’s
range. If you have a choice of several
locations, try each to see which pro­vides the best performance.

Notes:

INSTALLING THE
HANDSET’S ANTENNA

Insert the antenna into the hole at the
top of the handset, then rotate the an­tenna clockwise until it is secure.

• If the phone line jack is not a mod­ular jack, you must update the wir­ing. You can do this yourself,
using jacks and adapters avail­able at your local Radio Shack
store, or you can let the phone
company update the wiring for
you.

• The phone company will charge
you for the install ation of the nec­essary jacks.

5

43-104 6.fm Page 6 Tuesday, August 17, 1999 11:05 AM

• The USOC number of the jack to
be installed is RJ11W for a wall
jack or RJ11C for a baseboard
jack.

Caution: You must use a 120 VAC/12
VDC adapter that delivers at least 200
milliamps. Its plug must correctly fit the
phone’s

Using an adapter that does not meet
these requirements could dam age the

Placing the Base on a
Desk Top

Follow these steps when you place the
base on a desk, shelf, or table.

5. Place the handset upright over the
charging contacts on the top of
the base (see “Charging the Bat­tery”).

Note: The phone will not charge if
you try to use the charging con­tacts on the side of the bas e while
it is flat on a desk top.

6. Move the base’s antenna to a ver­tical position.

Mounting the Base on a
Wall Plate

You need a short modular cord (such
as Radio Shack C at. No. 27 9-390, not
supplied) and a standard wall plate for
this mounting method.

1. Plug one end of the supplied mod­ular cord into the
on the back of the base.

2. Plug the modular cord’s other end
into a modular phone line jack.

3. Insert the supplied AC adapter’s
barrel plug into the
the back of the base.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Your Radio Shack ET-546 25-Channel Cordless Telephone with 10-Num ber M em ­ory is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions
will help you care for your phones so you can enjoy it for years.

Keep the phone dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids can
contain minerals that corrode the electronic circuits.

Handle the phone gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage cir­cuit boards and cases and 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

CLEANER

new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong deter­gents to clean your phone.

Modifying or tampering with the phone’s internal components can cause a malfunc­tion and might invalidate its warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it.
If your phone is not performing as it should, take it to your local Radio Shack store
for assistance. If the trouble is affecting the p hone lines , the ph one c om pany m ight
ask you to disconnect your phone until you have resolved the problem.

REPLACING THE
BATTERY

If you follow the instructions in “Charg­ing the Battery,” the supplied battery
should last about one year. When the
battery loses its ability to fully charge,
order a 3. 6 volt, 300 milliam p battery
with a connector that fits the connector
in the battery compartment. You can
order a replacement battery through
your local Radio Shack store.

Install the new battery as described
below, then charge the battery (see
“Charging the Battery”).

1. Slide off the battery compartment
cover on the back of the handset
as shown.

2. Gently pull on the battery wires to
disconnect the plug, then remove
the battery.

Caution:

rechargeable nickel cadm ium battery.
At the end of the battery’s useful life, it
must be recycled or disposed of prop­erly. Contact your local, county, or
state hazardous waste management
authorities for information on recycling
or disposal programs in your area.
Some options that m ight be available
are: municipal curb-side collection,
drop off boxes at retailers, recycling

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.

3. Insert a fresh battery and connect
its plug to the pins inside the bat­tery compartment.

4. Replace the cover.

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 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 the 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 exceed FCC
requirements. However, lightning strik­ing the phone l ines can damage your
phone.

Lighting damage i s not com m on. Nev­ertheless, if you li ve an area that has
severe electrical storms, we suggest
that you unplug your phone during
storms to reduce the possibility of
damage.
