FEATURES
Your Radio Shack ET-910 900 MHz
Digital Cordless Speakerphone With
Dual Keypads uses advanced digital
cordless telephone technology to
give you superior sound quality. It
uses the recently allocat ed 9 00 M Hz
band which means less interference,
clearer sound, and greater range
than 46/49 MHz cordless telephones. Its cordless operation and
dual keypads let you make or answer
calls just about anywhere in your
home or office. Its features include:
900 MHz Operation —
provides better sound and less interference than
many other cordless phones.
Digitally Encoded Signal
— prevents other people from picking up
your phone’s signal and listening to
your conversations.
Dual Keypads
— a full set of keys on
both the ET-910’s ha nds et and base
let you use either keypad to make
and answer calls or program its feature s.
Speakerphone —
lets you ma ke or
answer calls without using the handset.
10-Number Memory Dial ing
— lets
you store up to 10 phone numbers in
memory for easy dialing.
Security Access Protection Code
— changes each time you place the
handset on the base, to minimize the
chances of other cordless phones
using your phone line.
10 Channels —
scans 10 channels
(frequency pairs used between the
base and the hands et) and automatically selects the one with the least
interference each time you make or
receive a call, and lets you change
the channel during a call.
Out of Range Signal
— the handset
beeps to let you know when you
move out of the base’s operating
range.
Two-Way Intercom/Paging System
—
lets you send a signal from the
base to the handset, or from the
handset to the base, so you can page
someone or easily locate the handset when it is away from the base. If
someone answers, y ou can use the
ET-910 like a two-way intercom.
Any-Key Answer —
any key on the handset (except
lets you press
OFF
to answer an incoming call.
Digital Volume Controls —
let you
adjust the volume of the sound you
hear through the handset and the
speakerphone.

the ringer on or off from both the
handset and the speakerphone.
Handset/Base Disable — lets you
disable the ET-910’s handset or
base during a call to prevent anyone
from interrupting your call at the other
keypad.
Privacy — prevents the person on
the other end of the phone line from
hearing your conversation with
someone in the room.
Flash — sends an electronic switchhook signal for use with special
phone services such as call waiting.
Redial — lets you quickly dial the last
number dialed.
Touch Tone (DTMF) or Pulse Dialing — lets you use yo ur phone with
either type of dialing.
Important: Cordl ess 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-910. For this reason, the
ET-910 should not be y our on ly te lephone. To be safe, you s hould also
have a phone that does not require
AC power to operate (not a cordless
phone) so you can s t ill m ake an d r eceive calls if there is an AC power
failure.
Warning: To prevent fire or shock
hazard, do not expose this product
to rain or moisture.
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
DO NOT OPEN.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF

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
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.
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 on the
label on the base’s back.
You must not connect your phone to
any of the following:
• Coin-operated systems
• Party-line systems
• Most electronic key phone systems
Note:
Your telephone operates on
standard radio frequencies, as allocated by the FCC. Even though the
access protection code pre vents unauthorized use of your pho ne line, it
is possible for other radio units operating on similar frequencies within a
certain area to unintentionally intercept your conversations and/or
cause interference. This lack o f privacy can occur with any cordless
phone.

INSTALLATION
SELECTING A
LOCATION
You can set t he ET-910’s base o n a
flat surface (such as a desktop or
counter-top), mount it o n a modular
jack wall plate, or mount it directly on
the wall. The base’s location affects
the phone’s range. If you have a
choice of several locations, try each
to see which one prov ides the best
performance.
Select a location that is:
• Near an AC outlet
• Near a telephone line jack
• Away from electrical machinery,
electrical applianc es, and met al
walls or filing cabinets
• Away from wireless intercoms,
alarms, and room monitors
If the phone line jack is not a modular
jack, you must update the wiring. You
can convert 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.
Notes:
• The phone company charges for
the installation of the necessary
jacks.
• After you mount the phone, you
must install the battery pack and
charge it for 24 hours before you
use it the first time. See “Preparation” on Page 12.

Notes:
• If the CHARGE indicator does
not light or blinks continuously
when you place the handset on
the cradle, be sure the battery
and AC adapter are correctly
and securely connected. Also,
check the charging contacts on
both the handset and base. If
the contacts are dirty or tarnished, clean them with a pencil
eraser.
If the battery pack will not hold a
charge, replace it. We recommend
you replace the battery pack about
once a year.
• If the handset is charged, and
the AC adapter is unplugged
from the AC outlet or the AC outlet loses power, the handset
beeps intermittently until power
is restored to the base and the
security access-protection code
is reset. To turn off the handset
sooner so it stops beeping,

the security access-protection
code.
You can recharge the battery pack at
any time, but you must be sure to recharge the battery pack when the
handset’s PRIVACY/LOW BATT indicator lig hts.
Notes:
• The first time you use your
phone after charging a new or
completely discharged battery,
the handset might not work or it
might sound an error tone when
you press
TALK
. If this happens ,
replace the handset on the cradle for about 5 s econds , t hen try
again.
• About once a month, fully discharge the battery. Otherwise, it
will lose its ability to fully
recharge, and you might hav e t o
recharge and replace it more
often.
To fully discharge the battery,
keep the handset off the c radle
until PRIVACY/LOW BATT turns
on. Then return the handset to
the base and fully recha rg e the
battery.
• Some deeply discharged batteries take longer to charge. If
overnight charging is not sufficient, try charging for up to 48
hours.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your Radio Shack ET-910 900 MHz Digital Cordless S peakerphone With Dual
Keypads 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
contain minerals that can corrode electronic circuits.
Handle the phone gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage its
circuit boards and cases and cause it to work improperly.
Use and store the phone only in normal temperature environments. Temperature extreme s 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.
Wipe the phone with a damp cloth occasionally t o keep it looking
CLEANER
new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the 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 troubl e is af fecting the phone lines, the phone
company might ask you to disconnect your phone until you have resolved t he
problem.
30
43-108 5.fm Page 31 Tue sday, August 17, 1999 2:31 PM
THE FCC WANTS YOU
TO KNOW
In the unlikely event that your phone
causes problems on t he phone line,
the phone company can temporarily
discontinue your service. The phone
company normally attempts to notify
you in advance. If a dvance notice is
not practical, the phone company notifies you as soon as possible and advises you of your right to file a
complaint with the FCC.
Also, the phone com pany can make
changes to its lines, equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect the operation of this telephone.
The phone company normally notifies you of these changes in advance, so you can take the
necessary steps to prevent in terruption of your phone service.
This equipment complies with the
limits for a Class B digital device as
specified in Part 15 of
These limits provide reason able protection against radio and TV interference in a resid ential area. Ho wever,
your equipment might cause TV or
radio interference even when it is operating properly.
FCC Rules
To eliminate interference, you can try
one or more of the following corrective measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
• Increase the distance between
the equipment and the radio or
TV
• Use outlets on different electrical
circuits for the equipment and
the radio or TV
Consult your local Radio Shack store
if the problem still exists.
LIGHTNING
Your phone has built-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 lines can
damage your phone.
.
Lightning damage is not common.
Nevertheless, if you live in an area
which has severe electrical storms,
we suggest that you unplug your
phone during storms to reduce the
possibility of damage.
