FEATURES
Your Radio Shack ET-905 900 MHz
Cordless Telephone uses the most
advanced analog cordless telephone
technology to give you superior audio quality. It uses the recently allocated 900 MHz band that virtually

READ THIS BEFORE
INSTALLATION
Your telephone conforms to federal
regulations, and you can connect it to
most telephone lines. However, each
device 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 on the label on the
phone base’s back.
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 not ring. In rural areas, a total REN of three might
impair ringer operation. If ringer operation is impaired, remove a device
from the line
Important: Cordless phones such as
this one require AC power to operate.
When AC power is off, you cannot
dial out or receive incoming calls using your ET-905. For this reason, the
ET-905 should not be y our on ly te lephone. To be safe, you s hould also
have a phone that draws its power
from the telephone line (not a c ordless phone) so you can still make and
receive calls if there is a n AC p ower
failure.
