RadioShack is a trademark used by Tandy Corporation.

Your RadioShack ET-542 All-Weather

25-Channel Cordless Telephone in-

cludes the latest advances in cordless

phone technology.

One of the phone’s most valuable fea-

tures is that the handset is water

resistant, which makes it perfect for

outdoor use, especially around the

pool.

Caution: The phone’s handset is not

waterproof. Do not submerge it in wa-

ter.

The ET-542 also includes these fea-

tures:

Auto-Scan — automatically selects a

clear channel when you pick up the

phone.

25-Channel Selector — lets you

manually change channels during a

call to find the one with the least inter-

ference.

10-Number Memor

— lets you store

10 phone numbers in memory for

easy dialing.

Advanced Super CCT Circuitr

—

provides clarity comparable to a cord-

ed phone, reduces background noise,

and increases the effective operating

distance.

COM-LOK‚— ensures that other

cordless phone users cannot use your

phone line while the handset is on the

base.

Automatic Securit

Access Protec-

tion Code — changes each time you

disconnect and restore power to the

base to help prevent other cordless

phone users from using your phone

line while the handset is off the base.

Flash — sends an electronic switch-

hook signal for use with special phone

services such as call waiting.

Redial — with the touch of a button,

quickly redials the last number dialed.

Touch Tone or Pulse (Rotar

) Dial-

— lets you connect your phone to

either type of service.

Hearin

-Aid Compatibilit

— lets

you use your phone with hearing aids

that have a T (telephone) switch.

Please read this Owner’s Manual

carefully so you can enjoy all of your

telephone’s features.

Important: 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 us-

ing your ET-542. For this reason, the

ET-542 cordless phone should not be

your only telephone. 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 telephone has been tested and

found to comply with all applicable UL

and FCC standards.

Your ET-542 operates on standard ra-

dio frequencies, as allocated by the

FCC. Therefore, it is possible for other

radio units operating on similar fre-

quencies, within a certain area, to in-

advertently intercept your conversa-

tions and/or cause interference on

your cordless telephone. This lack of

privacy can occur with any cordless

telephone.

For your records, we urge you to

record the serial number of your

phone in the space below. The serial

number is on the bottom panel of the

base.

READ THIS BEFORE

INSTALLATION

We have designed your telephone to

conform to federal regulations, and

you can connect it to most telephone

lines. However, each device that you

connect to the phone line draws pow-

er 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 your

phone’s base.

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 phone 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.

FCC STATEMENT

This telephone complies with Part 68

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 of your phone’s 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

INSTALLATION

SELECTING A

LOCATION

Select a dry location for the tele-

phone’s base that is:

• Near an AC outlet

• Near a telephone line jack

• Out of the way of normal activities

• Away from electrical machinery,

electrical appliances, and metal

walls or filing cabinets

• Away from wireless intercoms,

alarms, and room monitors

The base’s location affects the phone’s

range. If you have a choice of several

locations, try each to see which pro-

vides the best performance.

Note: If the phone line jack is not a

modular jack, you must update the

wiring yourself, using jacks and adapt-

ers available at your local RadioShack

store. Or, you can let the phone com-

pany update the wiring for you.

• The phone company will charge

you for the installation of the nec-

essary jacks.

• The USOC number of the jack to

be installed is RJ11C for a base-

board jack or RJ11W for a wall

jack.

Caution: You must use a Class 2

120V AC/12V DC adapter that deliv-

ers at least 200 milliamps with its cen-

ter tip set to positive. Its plug must

correctly fit the phone’s 12V DC jack.

The supplied adapter meets these re-

quirements. Using an adapter that

does not meet these requirements

could damage the phone or the adapt-

er.

INSTALLING THE BASE

1. Plug one end of the supplied mod-

ular cord into the TEL.LINE jack on

the back of the base.

2. Plug the modular cord’s other end

into a modular phone line jack.

3. Insert the supplied AC adapter’s

barrel plug into the 12V DC jack on

the back of the base.

4. Plug the adapter into a standard

AC outlet.

5. Place the base’s antenna in a ver-

tical position.

CONNECTING THE

BATTERY

Important: You must connect the bat-

tery inside the handset before charg-

ing the phone and using it. Follow

these steps to connect the battery.

1. Use a screwdriver to remove the

screw on the battery compartment

cover on the back of the handset,

then press down on the cover and

slide it off.

2. Plug the battery wire connector

into the socket inside the compart-

ment.

Note: The connector fits only one

way. Do not force it.

3. Align the screw hole on the bat-

tery compartment cover with the

screw hole inside the battery com-

partment.

4. Tighten the screw about halfway.

Then press down and slide the

cover up to lock it in place.

5. Fully tighten the screw to ensure

the best water seal.

Before you use your phone for the first

time, charge it for 15 hours.

PREPARATION

43-1042.fm Page 7 Tuesday, August 17, 1999 10:28 AM

CHARGING THE

BATTERY

After you install a new battery, place

the handset on the base and let the

battery charge for about 15 hours be-

fore you use it the first time. The IN

USE/CHARGE indicator lights.

The phone recharges whenever the

handset is on the base. You can re-

charge the battery at any time, but you

must be sure to recharge the battery

when the LOW BATT indicator flashes

on the handset.

Notes:

• The first time you use your phone

after installing a new battery, the

handset might not work or might

sound an error tone when you

press

TALK. This might also occur

when you recharge a battery that

has been completely discharged.

If this happens, return the handset

to the base for 5 seconds. This

resets the security access protec-

tion code.

• If the IN USE/CHARGE indicator

does not light when you place the

handset on the base, be sure the

battery is connected to the socket

inside the battery compartment

and the AC adapter is securely

connected to the base.

Also, be sure the handset is

placed properly on the base, so

the charging contacts on the

handset and base meet.

If the contacts are dirty or tar-

nished, gently clean them with a

pencil eraser.

• About once a month, fully dis-

charge the battery by keeping the

handset off the base until the

LOW BATT indicator flashes.

Then return the handset to the

base and recharge the battery for

15 hours.

SETTING THE DIALING

MODE

Set TONE/PULSE on the back of the

base for the type of service you have.

If you are not sure which type you

have, do this test.

1. Set TONE/PULSE to TONE.

2. Lift the handset, press TALK, and

listen for a dial tone.

3. Press any number other than 0.

If the dial tone stops, you have

touch-tone service. Leave TONE/

PULSE set to TONE.

If the dial tone continues, you

have pulse service. Set TONE/

PULSE to PULSE.

TURNING ON/OFF THE

RINGER

To turn off the ringer, press and hold

RINGER ON/OFF for about 2 seconds

(until a long beep sounds). When the

ringer is off, the RINGER ON/OFF but-

ton flashes red.

To turn on the ringer, press and hold

RINGER ON/OFF for about 2 seconds

(until a short beep sounds).

Note: With the handset’s ringer off,

you can still make or receive calls us-

ing the cordless phone. Telephones

on the same line still ring when there

is an incoming call, and the TALK light

on the handset and the IN USE/

CHARGE indicator on the base flash

until you answer the call.
