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.

READ THIS BEFORE  
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).

To keep your accounts secure, we  
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  
wait for a second dial tone before you  
can dial an outside number. You can  
store the access code with the phone  
number. However, you should also store  
a pause after the access code to allow  
the outside line time to connect. To do  
so, press REDIAL. Each press enters a  
2-second pause. For a longer pause,  
press REDIAL additional times.  
1. Press MEM. The TALK indicator  
blinks.  
Dialing a Memory Number  
To dial a number stored in memory,  
press TALK. The TALK indicator lights.  
2. Enter the number and any tone 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 (19)  
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.

Numbers  
the handset’s earpiece and micro-  
phone.  
If you store an emergency service’s  
number (police department, fire depart-  
ment, ambulance) and you choose to  
test the stored number, make the test  
call during the late evening or early  
morning hours to avoid peak demand  
periods. Also, remain on the line to ex-  
plain the reason for your call.  
• If you place the handset on the base  
to recharge it while the headset is  
connected, be sure the handset  
seats properly.  
With a headset connected, you make or  
answer calls as usual using the keys on  
the handset.  
USING A HEADSET  
RadioShack also sells a leather carrying  
case (Cat. No. 43-197) which lets you  
hang the handset on your belt for hands-  
free conversation when you are working  
in the yard or garage.  
You can make or answer calls with  
hands-free convenience using an op-  
3
tional headset that has a /32-inch (2.5  
mm) plug. We recommend RadioShack  
Cat. No. 43-194.

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.  
• Do not open or mutilate the battery  
pack.  
Note: To avoid losing numbers stored in  
memory, try to install and begin charging  
the new battery pack within 3 minutes.  
• 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.  
1. Press down and slide off the cover.  
If you have trouble replacing the battery  
pack, take the phone to your local Ra-  
dioShack store for assistance.  
2. Gently pull on the battery pack con-  
nector to disconnect it, then remove  
the battery pack.

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  
recycling or disposal programs in your  
area. Some options that might be avail-  
able are: municipal curb-side collection,  
drop-off boxes at retailers such as your  
local RadioShack store, recycling collec-  
tion centers, and mail-back programs.  
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
