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-926. 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.

SELECTING A
LOCATION

You can place the ET-926’s base on a
desk top 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.

Caution:

AC adapter was designed specifically
for your ET-926. Use only the supplied
adapter.

The supplied RadioShack

• The USOC number o f the jack to
be installed is RJ11C (RJ11W if
you want to mount it on a wall

CONNECTING AND
CHARGING THE
BATTERY PACK

The ET-926 comes with a recharge­able nickel-cadmium battery pack in
the handset. Before using your phone,
you must connect the battery pack,
then charge it for about 14 hours.

1. Slide the cover in the direction of
the arrow to remove it.

2. Unfasten the plastic retainer strap
and lift the battery pack out of the
compartment. Plug the battery
pack’s connector into the socket in
the compartment. The connector
fits only one way.

3. Replace the battery pack inside
the compartment and refasten the
retainer strap.

When the handset beeps and the Talk/
Batt Low indicator on the handset
flashes, recharge the battery pack.

Notes:

• If the In Use/Charge indicator
does not light when you place the
handset on the base, be sure the
battery pack and AC adapter are
correctly and securely connected.

Also, check the charging contacts
on the handset and the base. If
the contacts are dirty or tarnished,
clean them with a pencil eraser.

4. Replace the cover.

To charge the battery pack, place the
handset upright on the base if you
placed the ET-926 on a desk top, or
hang the handset on the h older if you
mounted it on a wall. The In Use/
Charge indicator on the base lights.

10

43-109 6.fm Page 11 Tuesday, August 17, 1999 3:47 PM

• When you first use the phone after
charging or recharging the battery
pack, the phone might not work
and you might hear an error to ne.
If this happens, return the handset
to the base for a few seconds.

• About once a month, fully dis­charge the battery pack by keep­ing the handset off the base until
the Talk/Batt Low indicator
flashes. Otherwise, the battery
pack loses its ability to fully re­charge.

Note: The security code is not l o st
even if the battery pack is com­pletely discharged.

• If the Talk/Batt Low indicator does
not light and 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 16 seconds and the Talk/Batt
Low indicator flashes. Recharge
the battery pack.

• The supplied battery p ack should
last for about a year. When the
battery pack loses its ability to
fully recharge, order a replace­ment battery pack from your local
RadioShack store (see “Replacing
the Battery Pack” on Page 21).

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Your ET-926 900-MH z Digital Spread Spectru m Cordless Phone is an exam ple of
superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for
your cordless telephone so you can enjoy it for years.

Keep the ET-926 dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids
might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.

Handle the ET-926 gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage cir­cuit boards and cases and can cause the ET-926 to work improperly.

Use and store the ET-926 only in normal temperature environments.
Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices and
distort or melt plastic parts.

Keep the ET-926 away from dust an d dirt, which can cau se prema­ture wear of parts.

Wipe the ET-926 with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking
new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong deter­gents to clean the ET-926.

Modifying or tampering with the ET-926’s internal components can cause a malfunc­tion and might invalidate your ET-926’s warranty and void your FCC authorization to
operate it. If your ET-926 is not performing as it should, take it to your local Ra­dioShack 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.

stored in memory, try to install and be­gin charging the new battery pack with­in 3 minutes.

3. Insert the new battery pack’s con­nector into the socket in the com­partment, place the battery pack
into the compartment, and refas­ten the retainer strap.

4. Replace the cover.

Cautions:

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

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

• Do not open or mutilate the battery
pack.

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

1. Slide off the cover in the direction
of the arrow.

2. Unfasten the plastic retainer strap
and lift the battery pack out of the
compartment, then gently pull on
the battery connector to discon­nect it.

If you have t rouble replacing the bat­tery pack, take the phone to your local
RadioShack store for assistance.

chargeable nickel-cadmium battery
pack. At the end of the battery pack’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 might be
available are: municipal curb-side col­lection, drop-off boxes at retailers such
as your local RadioShack store, recy­cling collection ce nters, and mail-back

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 causin g it. Try to
eliminate the interference by:

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 might caus e 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
