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-557. 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.

DO NOT OPEN.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE
COVER OR BACK. NO USER-SERVICE-
ABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVIC-
ING TO QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.
For your records, we urge you to
record the serial number of your phone
in the space below. The serial number
is located on the bottom panel of the

This symbol is intended to alert you
to the presence of uninsulated dan-
gerous voltage within the product’s
enclosure that might be of sufficient
magnitude to constitute a risk of
electric shock. Do not open the
product’s case.

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.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your ET-557 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-557’s internal components can cause a malfunc-
tion and might invalidate your ET-557’s warranty and void your FCC authorization to
operate it. If your ET-557 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
