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-551. 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 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.

This symbol is intended to inform

you that important operating and

maintenance instructions are in-

cluded in the literature accompany-

ing this product.

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.

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.

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 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

SELECTING A

LOCATION

You can place the phone on a desk top

or table, or mount it on a wall. Select a

location that is:

• 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 inter-

coms, 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

several locations, try each to see

which provides the best performance.

Caution: The supplied RadioShack

adapter was designed specifically for

your ET-551. Use only the supplied

adapter.

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

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).

CONNECTING AND

CHARGING THE

BATTERY PACK

The ET-551 comes with a recharge-

able nickel-cadmium battery pack. Be-

fore using your phone, you must

connect the battery pack then charge

it for about 24 hours.

Follow these steps to charge the bat-

tery pack.

1. Press down and slide off the

handset’s battery compartment

cover as shown.

2. Insert the battery pack’s connec-

tor into the phone’s socket. The

plug fits only one way.

3. Replace the cover.

43-1051.fm Page 9 Tuesday, August 17, 1999 1:08 PM

4. To charge the battery pack, simply

place the handset on the base.

The CHARGE indicator on the

base lights.

Recharge the battery pack when the

LOW BATT indicator on the handset

flashes.

Notes:

• If the CHARGE indicator does not

light when you place the handset

on the base, be sure the battery

pack and AC adapter are correctly

and securely connected.

• When you first use the phone after

charging or recharging the battery

pack, the phone might not work

and you might hear an error tone.

If this happens, return the handset

to the base for a few seconds.

• If the LOW BATT indicator does

not light, but the phone does not

work, recharge the battery pack.

The battery voltage might be too

low to light the indicator.

• If the battery pack gets weak dur-

ing a call, the handset sounds

three beeps every 30 seconds,

and the LOW BATT indicator flash-

es for 2 minutes. After 2 minutes,

the phone automatically discon-

nects. If this happens, you cannot

make another call on the phone

until you recharge the battery

pack.

• About every 30 days, fully dis-

charge the battery pack by keep-

ing the handset off the base until

the LOW BATT indicator lights.

Otherwise, the battery pack loses

its ability to fully recharge.

• Using a pencil eraser, clean the

charging contacts on the handset

and the base about once a month

to make sure they are not dirty or

tarnished.
