This telephone has been tested and
found to comply with all applicable UL
and FCC standards.

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-917. 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.

We recommend you record your
phone’s serial number here. The num­ber is on the bottom of the base.

ing the handset off the base until
the TALK/BATT LOW indicator
flashes. Otherwise, the battery
pack loses its ability to fully re­charge.

• If the TALK/BATT LOW indicator
does not light but the phone does
not work, recharge the battery
pack. (The battery power might be
too low to light the indicator.)

• If the battery pack becomes weak
during a call, you hear a beep ev­ery 30 seconds and the TALK/
BATT LOW indicator flashes ev­ery 3 seconds. R echarge the bat­tery pack.

• If the battery pack is completely
discharged, the h andset lo ses the
security access-protection code.

REPLACING THE
BATTERY PACK

If you follow the instructions in “Con­necting and Charging the Battery
Pack” on Page 9, the battery pack
should last about one year. If the bat­tery does not hold a charge for more
than 2 hours after an overnight charge,
replace the battery with a new 3.6 volt,
600 milliamp battery with a co nnector
that fits the connector in the battery
compartment. You can order a re­placement battery pack through your
local RadioShack store.

Install the new battery pack as de­scribed below, then charge the battery
for at least 14 hours (see “Conne cting
and Charging the Battery Pack” on
Page 9).

1. Loosen the screw on the battery
compartment cover on the bo ttom
of the handset, and slide off the
cover in the direction of the arrow.

2. Gently pull on the batte ry connec­tor to disconnect it, then remove
the battery.

3. Insert the new battery pack’s plas­tic connector into its socket and
place the battery pack into the
compartment.

Cautions:

• You m ust 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 lo­cal RadioShack store for assis­tance.

• To avoid losing phone numbers
stored in memory, try to install and
begin charging the new battery
within 3 minutes.

Important:

chargeable nickel cadmium 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,

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

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

Some cordless t eleph ones operat e on
frequencies that may cause interfer­ence 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
a TV or VCR.

LIGHTNING

Your telephone has built-in lightning
protection to reduce the risk of damage
from surges in telephone line and pow­er line current. This lightning protection
meets or exceeds FCC requirem ents.
However, lightning striking the tele­phone 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 Ra­dioShack store for help
