This telephone has been tested and
found to comply with all applicable UL
and FCC standards.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
fire or shock hazard, do not ex-
pose this product to rain or mois-
ture.
Your telephone operates on standard
radio frequencies as allocated by the
FCC. Even though the security access-
protection code prevents unauthorized
use of your phone line, it is possible for
other radio units operating on similar fre-
quencies within a certain area to unin-
tentionally intercept your conversations
and/or cause interference. This lack of
privacy can occur with any cordless
phone.
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.
This symbol is intended to alert you to
the presence of uninsulated danger-
ous voltage within the product’s enclo-
sure that might be of sufficient
magnitude to constitute a risk of elec-
tric shock. Do not open the product’s
case.
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 power failure.
This symbol is intended to inform you
that important operating and mainte-
nance instructions are included in the
literature accompanying this product.

We recommend you record your
phone’s serial number here. The num-
ber is on the bottom of the base.

INSTALLATION
FCC STATEMENT
This telephone 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 located on the bot-
tom of the base.
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.
Note: You must not connect your phone
to any of the following:
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 areas, a
total REN of three might impair ringer
operation. If ringer operation is impaired,
remove a device from the line.

PREPARATION
SELECTING A LOCATION
ATTACHING THE
HANDSET’S ANTENNA
You can place the phone on a desk top
or table, mount it on a standard wall
plate, or mount it directly on a wall. Se-
lect a location that is:
Insert the antenna into the hole on the
top of the handset, then rotate the an-
tenna clockwise until it is secure.
• near an AC outlet
• near a telephone line jack
• out of the way of normal activities
• away from electrical machinery,
electrical appliances, metal walls or
filing cabinets, wireless intercoms,
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 sev-
eral locations, try each to see which
provides the best performance.
Caution: The supplied RadioShack AC
adapter was designed specifically for
your ET-919. Use only the supplied
adapter.
Notes:
• Your telephone connects directly to
a modular telephone line jack. If
your phone line jack is not a modu-
lar jack, you can update the wiring
yourself, using jacks and adapters
available at your local RadioShack
store. Or, you can let the phone
company update the wiring for you.
• The USOC number of the jack to be
installed is RJ11C (RJ11W if you
want to mount it on a wall plate).

recommend you do not store your
personal access code for services
such as bank-by-phone in a memory
location.
Entering a Pause
In some telephone systems, you must
dial an access code (9, for example) and

pause entries (see “Entering a
Pause”).
When you hear a dial tone, simply press
MEM and enter the memory location
number for the number you want to dial.
Each tone or pulse entry uses
one digit of memory.
Note:
3. Press MEM again, then enter the
memory location number (1–9)
where you want to store the number.
A tone sounds to indicate that the
number is stored.
Chain-Dialing Service Numbers
For quick recall of numbers for special
services (such as alternate long dis-
tance or bank by phone), store each
group of numbers in its own memory lo-
cation.
To replace a stored number, simply
store a new number in its place.
To clear a memory location (leaving it
empty), simply skip Step 2 and select
the memory location you want to clear in
Step 3.
When calling special services (such as
alternate long distance or bank by
phone), dial the service’s main number
first. Then, at the appropriate place in
the call, press MEM and the number for
the location where the additional infor-
mation is stored.

TROUBLESHOOTING
We do not expect you to have any problems with your phone, but if you do, the follow-
ing suggestions might help.
Problem
Suggestion
Low volume or unusual sounds.
Someone has picked up another phone
on the same line. Hang up the other
phone.
Severe noise interference.
Press CHANNEL to change the channel.
Keep the handset away from computers,
remote control toys, wireless micro-
phones, alarm systems, intercoms, room
monitors, fluorescent lights, and electri-
cal appliances.

The phone cannot be operated at a
useful distance from the base
because the signal becomes weak or
noisy (the handset’s range has
decreased).
Lift the base’s antenna to a fully vertical
position.
Be sure neither the handset’s or base’s
antenna is touching a metal surface.
Return the handset to the base to
recharge the battery pack.
The handset battery does not charge. Check the charging contacts on the
handset and base. If they are dirty, clean
them with a pencil eraser.
Be sure the battery pack is connected
correctly.
Handset does not ring or receive a
page.
Return the handset to the base to
recharge the battery pack.
Lift the base’s antenna to a fully vertical
position.
Move the handset closer to the base.

Problem
Suggestion
The phone does not work or works
poorly.
Be sure the base’s phone line cord and
AC adapter are correctly and securely
connected, and the handset’s battery
pack is charged.
The handset stops working or works
poorly during a call.
Move the handset closer to the base.
Be sure the handset’s battery pack is
charged. (If the battery pack power is too
low, it does not have enough power to
light the BATT LOW indicator.)
Lift the base’s antenna to a fully vertical
position.
Make sure the charging contacts on the
handset and base are clean.
If the base lost power while the handset
was off of it, the security access-protec-
tion code might have changed. With the
handset removed from the base, restore
power to the base, then place the hand-
set back on the base. The CHARGE indi-
cator lights, indicating that the code is set
again.
If you still have problems, disconnect the phone. If other phones on the same line
work properly, the fault is in this phone or its installation. If you cannot find the prob-
lem, take your ET-919 to your local RadioShack store for assistance.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your ET-919 9-Memory 900-MHz Cordless Telephone is an example of superior de-
sign and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for your cord-
less 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 circuit
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 detergents 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. Plug the new battery pack’s connec-
tor into the socket and place the bat-
tery pack into the compartment.
REPLACING THE
BATTERY PACK
If you follow the instructions in “Connect-
ing and Charging the Battery Pack” on
Page 11, the battery pack should last
about one year. If the battery does not
hold a charge for more than 2 hours af-
ter an overnight charge, replace the bat-
tery with a new 3.6 volt, 600 milliamp
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.
4. Replace the cover.
Cautions:
• You must use a replacement battery
pack of the same size and type.
Install the new battery pack as de-
scribed below, then charge the battery
pack for about 24 hours (see “Connect-
ing and Charging the Battery Pack” on
Page 11).
• Do not dispose of the battery pack in
a fire because it might explode.

Important: This product contains a re-
chargeable nickel cadmium battery
pack. At the end of the battery pack’s
useful life, it must be recycled or dis-
posed of properly. Contact your local,
county, or state hazardous waste man-
agement authorities for information on

drop-off boxes at retailers such as your

off your phone. If the interference goes
away, your phone is causing the interfer-
ence. 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
If you cannot eliminate the interference,
the FCC requires that you stop using
your phone.
THE FCC WANTS YOU TO
KNOW
Some cordless telephones operate on
frequencies that may cause interference
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.
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.
LIGHTNING
Your telephone has built-in lightning pro-
tection to reduce the risk of damage
from surges in telephone line and power
line current. This lightning protection
meets or exceeds FCC requirements.
However, lightning striking the tele-
phone 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 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
that you unplug your phone during
storms to reduce the possibility of dam-
age.
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
