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
ID RECORDS
To review the Caller ID records, lift the
handset and press CALL ID. The number
of new Caller ID records, if any, and the

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
