FEATURES
Your RadioShack ET-929 900 MHz
Cordless Telephone uses advanced
technology to give you superior audio
quality and extended range, while its
cordless operation lets you move freely
around your home or office.
The ET-929’s Caller ID unit records
each caller’s telephone number (and
name, if available in your area) and the
date and time of the call, as provided by
your local phone company to Caller ID
service subscribers. And, if you subscribe to Call Waiting with Caller ID, the
ET-929 can show you the incoming caller information, even when you are already on the phone.

Important:
• Cordless phones such as this one
require AC power to operate. W hen
the power is off, you cannot make or
receive calls using your ET-929. To
be safe, you should also have a
phone that does not need AC power
to operate (not a cordless phone),
so you can still make and receive
calls if there is an AC power failure.
• Your phone operates on standard
radio frequencies as allocated by
the FCC. It is possible for other radio units operating nearby on similar
frequencies to unintentionally intercept your conversation or cause interference. This possible lack of
privacy can occur with any cordless
phone.
READ THIS BEFORE
INSTALLATION
Your ET-929 conforms to federal regulations, and you can connect it to most
telephone lines. However, each device
that you connect to the telephone line
draws power from the line. We refer to
this power draw as the device’s
equivalence number
is on the bottom of the base.
If you are using more than one phone or
other device on th e 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 impair ringer
operation. If ringer operation is impaired,
remove a device from the line.
