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-551. 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.

The battery voltage might be too
low to light the indicator.
• If the battery pack gets w eak during a call, the handset sounds
three beeps every 30 seconds,
and the LOW BATT indicator flashes for 2 minutes. After 2 minutes,
the phone automatically disconnects. If this happens, you cannot
make another call on the phone
until you recharge the battery
pack.
• About every 30 days, fully discharge the battery pack by keeping the handset off the base until
the LOW BATT indicator lights.
Otherwise, the battery pa ck loses
its ability to fully recharge.
• Using a pencil eraser, clean the
charging contacts on the handset
and the base about once a m onth
to make sure they are not dirty or
tarnished.
Notes:
• If the CHARGE indicator does not
light when you pla ce the handset
on the base, be sure the battery
pack and AC adapter are correctly
and securely connected.
• When you first use the phone after
charging or recharging the battery
pack, the phone might not work

TROUBLESHOOTING
We do not expect you to have any problem s with y our phone, but if you d o, the following suggestions might help.
Problem Suggestion
Low volume or unusual
sounds.
Severe noise interference. Press
The phone cannot be operated
at a useful distance from the
base because the signal becomes weak or noisy (handset’s range has decreased).

not charge.
Someone has picked up another phone on the
same line. Hang up the other phone.
Press
Adjust the handset’s volume.
Keep the handset away from computers, remote control toys, wireless microphones, alarm
systems, intercoms, room monitors, fluorescent
lights, and electrical appliances.
Move to another location or turn off the source
of the interference.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your RadioShack ET-551 25-Channel Cordless Phone with 10-Number Memory is
an example of superior design and craftsma nship. The following suggestions will
help you care for your cordless phone so you can enjoy it for years.
Keep the phone dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids
might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.
Handle the phone gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit boards and cases and can cause the phone to work improperly.
Use and store the phone o nly in no rmal tem perature environm ents.
Temperature extremes 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 to keep it looking
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 your phone’s warranty and void your FCC authorization to
operate it. If your phone 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.

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 pack will not hold a charge for
more than 2 hours after an overnight
charge, replace it with a new 3.6 V,
300 mAh battery pack with a connector
that fi ts the soc ket in the bat ter y com partment. You can order a replacement battery pack through your local
RadioShack store.
Install the new battery pack as described here, then charge the battery
pack (see “Connecting and Charging
the Battery Pack” on Page 9).
Note:
To avoid losing phone num bers
stored in memory, try to install and begin charging the new battery pack
within about 2 minutes.
1. Press down and slide off the
handset’s battery compartment
cover as shown.
2. Gently pull out the battery connector to disconnect it, then remove
the battery pack.
3. Insert a fresh battery pack and
insert its connector into the socket
inside the battery compartment.
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 it with conducting materials, such as rings,
bracelets, and keys. The battery
pack or conductor might overheat
and burn.

43-105 1.fm Page 20 Tuesday, August 17, 1999 1:08 PM
Important: This phone contains a rechargeable 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 centers, and mail-back
programs.
THE FCC WA NTS YOU
TO KNOW
In the unlikely event that your phone
causes problems on the phone line,
the phone company can temporarily
discontinue your service. If this happens, the phone com pany attem pts to
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.
Your phone might cause TV or radio
interference even when it is operating
properly. To determine whether your
phone is causing the interference, turn
off your phone. If the interference goes
away, your phone is causing the interference.
Try to eliminate the interference by:
• Moving your phone away fr om the
receiver
• Connecting your phone to an A C
outlet that is on a different electr ical circuit from the receiver
• Contacting your local RadioShack store for help
If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you stop
using your phone.
Some cordless phones operate at frequencies that might cause interference
to nearby TVs and VCRs. To minimize
or prevent such interference, the base
of the cordless phone should not be

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 requirements.
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 you unplug your phone during
storms to reduce the possibility of
damage.
