Important:  
FCC STATEMENT  
• Cordless phones such as this one  
require AC power to operate. When  
the power is off, you cannot make or  
receive calls using your ET-1109. 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 ET-1109 complies with Part 68 of  
FCC Rules. You must, upon request,  
provide the FCC registration number  
and the REN to your phone company.  
These numbers are on the bottom of the  
base.  
Note: You must not connect your phone  
to any of the following:  
• Your phone operates on standard  
radio frequencies as allocated by  
the FCC. It is possible for other ra-  
dio units operating nearby on similar  
frequencies to unintentionally inter-  
cept your conversation or cause in-  
terference. This possible lack of  
privacy can occur with any cordless  
phone.  
• coin-operated systems  
• party-line systems  
• most electronic key phone systems  
The ET-1109 complies with the limits for  
a Class B digital device as specified in  
Part 15 of FCC Rules. These limits pro-  
vide reasonable protection against ra-  
dio and TV interference in a residential  
area. However, your equipment might  
cause TV or radio interference even  
when it is operating properly. To elimi-  
nate interference, you can try one or  
more of the following corrective mea-  
sures:  
READ THIS BEFORE  
INSTALLATION  
Your ET-1109 conforms to federal regu-  
lations, 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 ringer  
equivalence number, or REN. The REN  
is on the bottom of the base.  
• Reorient or relocate the receiving  
antenna.  
• Increase the distance between the  
equipment and the radio or TV.  
• Use outlets on different electrical cir-  
cuits for the equipment and the ra-  
dio or TV.  
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 (three  
in rural areas), your phones might not  
ring. If ringer operation is impaired, re-  
move a device from the line.  
Consult your local RadioShack store if  
the problem still exists.

To charge the battery pack, place the  
handset either faceup or facedown on  
the base. The CHARGE/IN USE indica-  
tor on the base lights and Total:00  
appears on the handset display.  
The handset does not lose its secu-  
rity access-protection code even if  
the battery pack is completely dis-  
charged.  
• Using a pencil eraser, clean the  
charging contacts on the handset  
and base about once a month.  
CHARGE/IN USE  
Indicator  
Recharge the battery pack when Low  
Batteryflashes on the display.  
Important: Be sure the battery pack is  
properly connected before you try to  
charge it. The CHARGE/IN USE indica-  
tor lights when the handset is on the  
base, even if the battery pack is not con-  
nected.  
• If the battery pack becomes weak  
during a call, the handset beeps ev-  
ery 3 seconds and Low Battery  
flashes. When this happens, you  
cannot make a call until you re-  
charge the battery pack.  
Notes:  
• About once a month, fully discharge  
the battery by keeping the handset  
off the base until Low Battery  
flashes on the display. Otherwise,  
the battery pack loses its ability to  
fully recharge.  
• 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 when  
you press TALK. Return the handset  
to the base for about 5 seconds to  
reset the security access-protection  
code.  
• If the display is blank and the phone  
does not work, recharge the battery  
pack. (The battery power might be  
too low to light the display.)  
• If the base loses power for about 30  
minutes while the handset is away  
from it, the security access-protec-  
tion code might be lost. To reset the  
code, return the handset to the base  
for about 5 seconds.  
• If you are not going to use your  
phone for an extended period of  
time, disconnect the battery pack.  
This increases the battery pack’s  
usable life.

CALLER ID OPERATION  
If you subscribe to Caller ID service from  
your phone company, the phone compa-  
ny sends information about the call, as  
well as the time and date, between the  
first and second rings of every call you  
receive.  
The ET-1109 displays this information  
when it receives a call, and it stores up  
to 50 Caller ID records for later review. It  
also shows if caller information is un-  
available or if the name and number  
were blocked by the caller (see “Caller  
ID Messages” on Page 20).  
Note: If the handset is faceup on the  
base, it shows the number of Caller ID  
records, so you can see if you have new  
records to review.  
If you subscribe to Call Waiting with  
Caller ID, you will hear a tone through  
the handset when a call comes in, then  
the Caller ID record appears. If you want  
to answer the incoming call, press  
FLASH. To resume the previous phone  
conversation, press FLASH again.  
Repeatedly press  
the Caller ID records from the newest to  
the oldest, or to scroll back through  
the records. To scroll quickly through the  
records, hold down or  
to scroll through  
.
When you scroll past the last record,  
Endappears. When you scroll past the  
first record, the record totals appear.  
If the ET-1109’s Caller ID memory be-  
comes full, any new call replaces the  
oldest call’s record.  
The top line of each record shows the  
date, time and the number of calls from  
that number. The second line shows the  
caller’s name, and the third line shows  
the caller’s phone number.  
REVIEWING CALLER

CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
Your RadioShack ET-1109 900 MHz Digital Cordless Telephone is an exam-  
ple of superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help  
you care for your ET-1109 so you can enjoy it for years.  
Keep the ET-1109 dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liq-  
uids might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic cir-  
cuits.  
Use and store the ET-1109 only in normal temperature environ-  
ments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic  
devices, damage batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.  
Keep the ET-1109 away from dust and dirt, which can cause pre-  
mature wear of parts.  
Handle the ET-1109 gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage  
circuit boards and cases and can cause the ET-1109 to work im-  
properly.  
Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended  
type. Batteries can leak chemicals that damage your ET-1109’s  
electronic parts.  
Wipe the ET-1109 with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it look-  
ing new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong  
detergents to clean the ET-1109.  
Modifying or tampering with the ET-1109’s internal components can cause a  
malfunction and might invalidate its warranty and void your FCC authoriza-  
tion to operate it. If your ET-1109 is not performing as it should, take it to your  
local RadioShack store for assistance. If the trouble is affecting the telephone  
lines, the phone company can ask you to disconnect your ET-1109 until you  
have resolved the problem.

• Be careful not to short the battery  
pack by touching it with conducting  
materials, such as rings, bracelets,  
and keys. The battery pack or con-  
ductor might overheat and burn.  
REPLACING THE  
BATTERY PACK  
If you follow the instructions in “Connect-  
ing and Charging the Battery Pack” on  
Page 8, the battery pack should last  
about one year. If the battery pack does  
not hold a charge for more than 2 hours  
after an overnight charge, replace it with  
a new 3.6-volt, 600 mAh battery pack  
with a connector that fits the socket in  
the battery compartment. You can order  
a replacement battery pack through your  
local RadioShack store.  
If you have trouble replacing the battery  
pack, take the phone to your local Ra-  
dioShack store for assistance.  
Important: This product contains a re-  
chargeable nickel cadmium battery. At  
the end of the battery pack’s useful life,  
it must be recycled or disposed of prop-  
erly. Contact your local, county, or state  
hazardous waste management authori-  
ties for information on recycling or dis-  
posal programs in your area. Some  
options that might be available are: mu-  
nicipal curb-side collection, drop-off box-  
es at retailers such as your local  
RadioShack store, recycling collection  
centers, and mail-back programs.  
Install the new battery pack, then charge  
it for about 24 hours.  
1. Press down and slide off the battery  
pack compartment cover.  
2. Lift the battery pack out of the com-  
partment, then gently pull on the  
battery connector to disconnect it.  
3. Insert the new battery pack’s con-  
nector into the socket in the com-  
partment, place the battery pack into  
the compartment, and replace the  
cover.  
Warning: Dispose of the old battery  
pack promptly and properly. Do not burn  
or bury it.  
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.

If you cannot eliminate the interference,  
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 discon-  
tinue your service. If this happens, the  
phone company attempts to notify you in  
advance. If advance notice is not practi-  
cal, the phone company notifies you as  
soon as possible and advises you of  
your right to file a complaint with the  
FCC.  
Some cordless phones operate at fre-  
quencies that might cause interference  
to nearby TVs and VCRs. To minimize  
or prevent such interference, the base of  
the cordless phone should not be placed  
near or on top of a TV or VCR.  
LIGHTNING  
Your telephone has built-in lightning pro-  
tection to reduce the risk of damage  
from surges in phone line and power line  
current. This lightning protection meets  
or exceeds FCC requirements. Howev-  
er, lightning striking the telephone or  
power lines can damage your phone.  
Also, the phone company can make  
changes to its lines, equipment, opera-  
tions, or procedures that could affect the  
operation of this telephone. The tele-  
phone company notifies you of these  
changes in advance, so you can take  
the necessary steps to prevent interrup-  
tion of your telephone service.  
Lightning damage is not common. Nev-  
ertheless, 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.  
Your phone might cause TV or radio in-  
terference 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:  
• 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
