CAUTION

43-104 7.fm Page 3 Tuesday, August 17, 1999 11:37 AM

Important Note: Cordless phones
such as this one require AC power to
operate. When the AC power is off,
you cannot dial out or receive incoming
calls using your ET-547. To be safe,
you should also have a phone that
does not need AC power to operate
(not a cordless ph one) 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 bo ttom panel of the
base.

Serial Number: __________________

READ THIS BEFORE INSTALLATION

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 bottom of the base.

If you are using more than one phone
or other device on t he line, add up all
the RENs. If the total is more than five,
your phones might not ring. In rural ar­eas, a total REN of three might im pair
ringer operation. If ringer operation is
impaired, remove a device from the
line.

FCC STATEMENT

This telephone complies with Part 68

FCC Rules

of
quest, provide the FCC Registration
Number and the REN to your phone
company. These numbers are located
on the bottom panel of the base.

Note:

phone to any of the following:

• coin-operated syst e ms

• party-line systems

• most electronic key phone sys­tems

Some cordless t eleph ones operat e on
frequencies that may cause interfer­fence to nearby TVs and VCRs. To
minimize or prevent such interference,
the base of the cordless telephone
should not be placed nea r or on top of
TVs or VCRs. If interference is experi­enced, moving the cordless telephone
farther away from the TV or VCR will
often reduce or eliminate the i nterfer­ence.

INSTALLATION

SELECTING A LOCATION

You can place the phone on a desktop
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 electrical machinery,
electrical appliances, 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 choice of
several locations, try each to see
which provides the best performance.

Notes:

• Your telephone connects directly
to a modular telephone line jack. If
your phone line jack is not a mod­ular jack, you can update the wir­ing 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 installation of neces­sary jacks.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Your ET-547 25-Channel Cordless Telephone with 3 Priority and 10 Speed-Dial
Memories is an example of s uperior design and c raftsmanship. The followin g sug­gestions will help you care for your cordless telephone 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.

Use and store the phone o nly in n ormal tem perature environm ents.
Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices(,
damage batteries,) and distort or melt plastic parts.

Keep the phone away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature
wear of parts.

Handle the phone gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage cir­cuit boards and cases and can cause the phone to work improperly.

Wipe the phone with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking
new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong deter­gents to clean the phone.

Modifying or tampering with the ET-547’s internal components can cause a malfunc­tion and might invalidate your ET-547’s warranty and void your FCC authorization to
operate it. If your ET-547 is not performing as it should, take it to your local Radio
Shack store for assistance. If the trouble is affecting the phone lines, the phone com­pany might ask you to disconnect your phone until you have resolved the problem.

REPLACING THE
BATTERY

If you follow the instructions in “Install­ing and Charging the Battery,” the bat­tery should last about one year. If the
battery will not hold a charge for more
than 2 hours after an overnight charge,
replace the battery with a new 3.6 volt,
300 milliamp battery with a co nnector
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
“Installing and Charging the Battery”).

1. Slide off the handset’s battery
compartment cover in the direc­tion of the arrow.

Cautions:

• You must use a replacement bat­tery of the same size and type.

• Do not dispose of the battery in a
fire because it might explode.

• Do not open or mutilate the bat­tery.

• Be careful not to short the battery
by touching it with conducting
materials, such as rings, brace­lets, and keys. The battery or con­ductor might overheat and burn.

Notes:

• If you have trouble replacing the
battery, take the phone to your

THE FCC WA NTS 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 com pany attem pts to
notify you in advance. If adv ance 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.

Also, the phone company can make
changes to its lines, 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 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:

If you cannot eliminate the interfer­ence, the FCC requires that you stop
using your phone.

LIGHTNING

Your telephone has built-in protection
circuits to reduce the risk of damage
from surges in telephone line and pow­er line current. These protection cir­cuits meet or exceed FCC
requirements. However, lightning strik­ing the telephon e or power lines can
damage your telephone.

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.

• 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
