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

INSTALLATION  
• The USOC number of the jack to  
be installed is RJ11C (RJ11W if  
you want to mount it on a wall  
plate).  
SELECTING A  
LOCATION  
You can place the phone’s base on a  
desk top or table, or mount it on a wall.  
Select a location that is:  
Placing the Base on a  
Desk Top  
• near an AC outlet  
• near a telephone line jack  
• out of the way of normal activities  
Follow these steps when you place the  
base on a desk, shelf, or table.  
1. Plug one end of the supplied long  
modular cord into the TEL LINE  
jack on the back of the base.  
• 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  
AC adapter was designed specifically  
for your ET-918/920. Use only the sup-  
plied adapter.  
2. Plug the modular cord’s other end  
into a modular phone line jack.  
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.

Notes:  
ing the handset off the base until  
the TALK/BATT LOW indicator  
flashes. Otherwise, the battery  
pack loses its ability to fully re-  
charge.  
• 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.  
• If the TALK/BATT LOW indicator  
does not light and the phone does  
not work, recharge the battery  
pack. (The battery power might be  
too low to light the indicator.)  
Also, check the charging contacts  
on the handset and the base. If  
the contacts are dirty or tarnished,  
clean them with a pencil eraser.  
• If the battery pack becomes weak  
during a call, you hear a beep ev-  
ery 30 seconds and the TALK/  
BATT LOW indicator flashes ev-  
ery 3 seconds. Recharge the bat-  
tery pack.  
• If the battery pack is completely  
discharged, the handset loses the  
security access-protection code.  
To reset the code, place the hand-  
set on the base and charge the  
battery pack.  
• The supplied battery pack should  
last for about a year. When the  
battery pack loses its ability to  
fully recharge, order a replace-  
ment battery pack from your local  
RadioShack store (see “Replacing  
the Battery Pack” on Page 20).  
• 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.

Testing Stored Emergency  
Numbers  
Notes:  
• Connecting a headset discon-  
nects the handset’s earpiece and  
microphone.  
If you store an emergency service’s  
number (police department, fire de-  
partment, 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.  
VOLUME on the handset (see  
“Setting the Handset Volume” on  
Page 12) also controls the con-  
nected headset’s volume.  
• If you place the handset on the  
base to recharge it while the  
headset is connected, be sure the  
handset seats properly.  
USING A HEADSET  
With a headset connected, you make  
or answer calls as usual using the keys  
on the handset.  
You can make or answer calls with  
hands-free convenience using an op-  
tional headset that has a 3/32-inch plug.  
We recommend RadioShack Cat. No.  
43-194, which is specially designed for  
use with the ET-918/920.  
When you finish using the headset,  
disconnect it from the handset and  
close the rubber cover to protect the  
jack.

TROUBLESHOOTING  
We do not expect you to have any problems with your phone, but if you do, the fol-  
lowing suggestions might help.  
Problem  
Suggestion  
Low volume or unusual sounds.

adapter are correctly and securely con-  
nected, and the battery is charged.  
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 is properly connected.  
Be sure the handset is properly seated on the  
base.

charged. (If the battery pack power is too low,  
it does not have enough power to light the  
TALK/BATT LOW indicator.)  
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 phone to your local RadioShack store for assistance.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
Your ET-918/920 900-MHz Cordless Telephone with Headset Jack is an example of  
superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions 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.  
Handle the phone gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage cir-  
cuit 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 deter-  
gents 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.

REPLACING THE  
BATTERY PACK  
If you follow the instructions in “Con-  
necting and Charging the Battery  
Pack” on Page 9, the battery pack  
should last about one year. If the bat-  
tery does not hold a charge (when the  
phone is not in use) for more than 2  
hours after an overnight charge, re-  
place the battery with a new 3.6 volt,  
600 milliamp battery with a connector  
that fits the socket in the battery com-  
partment. You can order a replace-  
ment battery pack through your local  
RadioShack store.  
4. Replace the cover and tighten the  
screw.  
Cautions:  
• You must use a replacement bat-  
tery of the same size and type.  
• 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 the connector’s pins  
with conducting materials, such as  
rings, bracelets, and keys. The  
battery or conductor might over-  
heat and burn.  
Install the new battery pack as de-  
scribed below, then charge the battery  
for about 14 hours (see “Connecting  
and Charging the Battery Pack” on  
Page 9).  
Note: To avoid losing phone numbers  
stored in memory, try to install and be-  
gin charging the new battery within 3  
minutes.  
If you have trouble replacing the bat-  
tery, take the phone to your local Ra-  
dioShack store for assistance.  
1. Loosen the screw on the battery  
compartment cover on the bottom  
of the handset, and slide off the  
cover in the direction of the arrow.  
Important: This product contains a re-  
chargeable nickel-cadmium battery. At  
the end of the battery’s useful life, it  
must be recycled or disposed of prop-  
erly. Contact your local, county, or  
state hazardous waste management  
authorities for information on recycling  
or disposal programs in your area.  
Some options that might be available  
are: municipal curb-side collection,  
drop-off boxes at retailers such as your  
local RadioShack store, recycling col-  
lection centers, and mail-back pro-  
grams.  
2. Lift the battery out of the compart-  
ment, then gently pull on the bat-  
tery connector to disconnect it.

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.  
Some cordless telephones operate on  
frequencies that might cause interfer-  
ence 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.  
LIGHTNING  
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.  
Your telephone has built-in lightning  
protection to reduce the risk of damage  
from surges in telephone line and pow-  
er line current. This lightning protection  
meets or exceeds FCC requirements.  
However, lightning striking the tele-  
phone or power lines can damage your  
telephone.  
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 it. Try to  
eliminate the interference by:  
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.  
• 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  
Ra-  
dioShack store for help
