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-547. 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.  
Warning: To prevent fire or shock haz-  
ard, do not expose this product to rain  
or moisture.  
CAUTION  
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.

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 shown  
on the bottom of the base.  
Note: You must not connect your  
phone to any of the following:  
• coin-operated systems  
• party-line systems  
• most electronic key phone sys-  
tems  
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.  
Some cordless telephones operate on  
frequencies that may cause interfer-  
fence 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  
TVs or VCRs. If interference is experi-  
enced, moving the cordless telephone  
farther away from the TV or VCR will  
often reduce or eliminate the interfer-  
ence.  
FCC STATEMENT  
This telephone complies with Part 68  
of FCC Rules. You must, upon re-  
quest, provide the FCC Registration  
Number and the REN to your phone  
company. These numbers are located  
on the bottom panel of the base.

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.  
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  
Radio Shack store. Or, you can let  
the phone company update the  
wiring for you.  
3. Insert the supplied AC adapter’s  
barrel plug into the DC IN 9V jack  
on the back of the base.  
• The phone company will charge  
you for the installation of neces-  
sary jacks.  
• The USOC number of the jack to  
be installed is RJ11C (RJ11W if  
you want to mount it on a wall  
plate).

TROUBLESHOOTING  
We do not expect you to have any problems with your phone, but if you do, the fol-  
lowing guidelines might help. If you still have problems, take the phone to your local  
Radio Shack store for assistance.

cent lights, and electrical appli-  
ances.  
• Move to another location or turn off  
the source of interference.  
The phone cannot be operated at a  
useful distance from the base  
because the signal becomes weak or  
noisy (handset’s range has  
decreased).  
• Fully extend the base’s antenna in  
a fully vertical position.  
• Return the handset to the cradle,  
and recharge the battery.  
• Be sure neither antenna is touching  
a metal surface.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
Your ET-547 25-Channel Cordless Telephone with 3 Priority and 10 Speed-Dial  
Memories is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The following sug-  
gestions 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.  
Use and store the phone only in normal temperature environments.  
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.  
Handle the phone gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage cir-  
cuit boards and cases and can cause the phone to work improperly.  
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 ET-547’s internal components can cause a malfunc-  
tion and might invalidate your ET-547’s warranty and void your FCC authorization to  
operate it. If your ET-547 is not performing as it should, take it to your local Radio  
Shack store for assistance. If the trouble is affecting the phone lines, the phone com-  
pany might ask you to disconnect your phone until you have resolved the problem.

Cautions:  
REPLACING THE  
BATTERY  
• You must use a replacement bat-  
tery of the same size and type.  
If you follow the instructions in “Install-  
ing and Charging the Battery,” the bat-  
tery should last about one year. If the  
battery will not hold a charge for more  
than 2 hours after an overnight charge,  
replace the battery with a new 3.6 volt,  
300 milliamp battery with a connector  
that fits the connector in the battery  
compartment. You can order a re-  
placement battery through your local  
Radio Shack store.  
• 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 it with conducting  
materials, such as rings, brace-  
lets, and keys. The battery or con-  
ductor might overheat and burn.  
Notes:  
Install the new battery as described  
below, then charge the battery (see  
“Installing and Charging the Battery”).  
• If you have trouble replacing the  
battery, take the phone to your  
local Radio Shack store for assis-  
tance.  
1. Slide off the handset’s battery  
compartment cover in the direc-  
tion of the arrow.  
To avoid losing phone numbers  
stored in memory, try to install and  
begin charging the new battery  
within 3 minutes.  
• This product contains a recharge-  
able nickel cadmium battery. At  
the end of the battery’s useful life,  
it must be recycled or disposed of  
properly. Contact your local,  
county, or state hazardous waste  
management authorities for infor-  
mation on recycling or disposal  
programs in your area. Some  
options that might be available  
are: municipal curb-side collec-  
tion, drop-off boxes at retailers,  
recycling collection centers, and  
mail-back programs.  
2. Gently pull on the battery connec-  
tor to disconnect the plug, then  
remove the battery.  
3. Insert a fresh battery pack and  
connect its plug to the pins inside  
the battery compartment.  
4. Replace the cover.

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.  
LIGHTNING  
Your telephone has built-in protection  
circuits to reduce the risk of damage  
from surges in telephone line and pow-  
er line current. These protection cir-  
cuits  
meet  
or  
exceed  
FCC  
requirements. However, lightning strik-  
ing the telephone or power lines can  
damage your telephone.  
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.  
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.  
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 inter-  
ference. Try to eliminate the interfer-  
ence by:  
• 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 your local Radio  
Shack store for help
