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 phone. 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 pow-
er failure.
READ THIS BEFORE
INSTALLATION
Each device that 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
bottom of the base.
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 phones might not ring. In rural ar-
eas, a total REN of three might impair
ringer operation. If ringer operation is
impaired, remove a device from the
line.
We recommend you record your
phone’s serial number here. The num-
ber is on the bottom of the base.

INSTALLATION
• The USOC number of the jack to
be installed is RJ11C (RJ11W if
you want to mount it on a wall
plate).
SELECTING A
LOCATION
You can place the phone’s base on a
desk top or table, or mount it on a wall.
Select a location that is:
Placing the Base on a
Desk Top
• near an AC outlet
• near a telephone line jack
• out of the way of normal activities
Follow these steps when you place the
base on a desk, shelf, or table.
1. Plug one end of the supplied long
modular cord into the TEL LINE
jack on the back of the base.
• away from electrical machinery,
electrical appliances, metal walls
or filing cabinets, wireless inter-
coms, alarms, and room monitors
• away from other cordless phones
The base’s location affects the hand-
set’s range. If you have a choice of
several locations, try each to see
which provides the best performance.
Caution: The supplied RadioShack
AC adapter was designed specifically
for your ET-918/920. Use only the sup-
plied adapter.
2. Plug the modular cord’s other end
into a modular phone line jack.
Notes:
• Your telephone connects directly
to a modular telephone line jack. If
your phone line jack is not a mod-
ular jack, you can update the wir-
ing yourself, using jacks and
adapters available at your local
RadioShack store. Or, you can let
the phone company update the
wiring for you.

Notes:
ing the handset off the base until
the TALK/BATT LOW indicator
flashes. Otherwise, the battery
pack loses its ability to fully re-
charge.
• If the 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.
• 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.)
Also, check the charging contacts
on the handset and the base. If
the contacts are dirty or tarnished,
clean them with a pencil eraser.
• If the battery pack becomes weak
during a call, you hear a beep ev-
ery 30 seconds and the TALK/
BATT LOW indicator flashes ev-
ery 3 seconds. Recharge the bat-
tery pack.
• If the battery pack is completely
discharged, the handset loses the
security access-protection code.
To reset the code, place the hand-
set on the base and charge the
battery pack.
• The supplied battery pack should
last for about a year. When the
battery pack loses its ability to
fully recharge, order a replace-
ment battery pack from your local
RadioShack store (see “Replacing
the Battery Pack” on Page 20).
• When you first use the phone after
charging or recharging the battery
pack, the phone might not work
and you might hear an error tone.
If this happens, return the handset
to the base for a few seconds.

Testing Stored Emergency
Numbers
Notes:
• Connecting a headset discon-
nects the handset’s earpiece and
microphone.
If you store an emergency service’s
number (police department, fire de-
partment, ambulance) and you choose
to test the stored number, make the
test call during the late evening or early
morning hours to avoid peak demand
periods. Also, remain on the line to ex-
plain the reason for your call.
• VOLUME on the handset (see
“Setting the Handset Volume” on
Page 12) also controls the con-
nected headset’s volume.
• If you place the handset on the
base to recharge it while the
headset is connected, be sure the
handset seats properly.
USING A HEADSET
With a headset connected, you make
or answer calls as usual using the keys
on the handset.
You can make or answer calls with
hands-free convenience using an op-
tional headset that has a 3/32-inch plug.
We recommend RadioShack Cat. No.
43-194, which is specially designed for
use with the ET-918/920.
When you finish using the headset,
disconnect it from the handset and
close the rubber cover to protect the
jack.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your ET-918/920 900-MHz Cordless Telephone with Headset Jack is an example 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 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 cir-
cuit boards and cases and can cause the phone to work improperly.
Use and store the phone only in normal temperature environments.
Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices 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 deter-
gents to clean the phone.
Modifying or tampering with the phone’s internal components can cause a malfunc-
tion 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 Ra-
dioShack 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 prob-
lem.

3. Insert the new battery pack’s plas-
tic connector into the socket in the
compartment and place the bat-
tery pack into the compartment.
REPLACING THE
BATTERY PACK
If you follow the instructions in “Con-
necting and Charging the Battery
Pack” on Page 9, the battery pack
should last about one year. If the bat-
tery does not hold a charge (when the
phone is not in use) for more than 2
hours after an overnight charge, re-
place the battery with a new 3.6 volt,
600 milliamp battery with a connector
that fits the socket in the battery com-
partment. You can order a replace-
ment battery pack through your local
RadioShack store.
4. Replace the cover and tighten the
screw.
Cautions:
• You must use a replacement bat-
tery 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 bat-
tery.
• Be careful not to short the battery
by touching the connector’s pins
with conducting materials, such as
rings, bracelets, and keys. The
battery or conductor might over-
heat and burn.
Install the new battery pack as de-
scribed below, then charge the battery
for about 14 hours (see “Connecting
and Charging the Battery Pack” on
Page 9).
Note: To avoid losing phone numbers
stored in memory, try to install and be-
gin charging the new battery within 3
minutes.
If you have trouble replacing the bat-
tery, take the phone to your local Ra-
dioShack store for assistance.
1. Loosen the screw on the battery
compartment cover on the bottom
of the handset, and slide off the
cover in the direction of the arrow.
Important: This product contains a re-
chargeable nickel-cadmium battery. At
the end of the battery’s useful life, it
must be recycled or disposed of prop-
erly. Contact your local, county, or
state hazardous waste management

If you cannot eliminate the interfer-
ence, the FCC requires that you stop
using your phone.
THE FCC WANTS 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 hap-
pens, the phone company attempts to
notify you in advance. If advance no-
tice is not practical, the phone compa-
ny notifies you as soon as possible and
advises you of your right to file a com-
plaint with the FCC.
Some cordless telephones operate on
frequencies that might cause interfer-
ence to nearby TVs and VCRs. To
minimize or prevent such interference,
the base of the cordless telephone
should not be placed near or on top of
a TV or VCR.
LIGHTNING
Also, the phone company can make
changes to its lines, equipment, opera-
tions, 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 in-
terruption of your telephone service.
Your telephone has built-in lightning
protection to reduce the risk of damage
from surges in telephone line and pow-
er line current. This lightning protection
meets or exceeds FCC requirements.
However, lightning striking the tele-
phone or power lines can damage your
telephone.
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 it. Try to
eliminate the interference by:
Lightning damage is not common.
Nevertheless, if you live in an area that
has severe electrical storms, we sug-
gest 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 electri-
cal circuit from the receiver
• Contacting
