•If the battery pack becomes weak, the handset sounds a short beep every 16 seconds during a call (or every 64 seconds when the handset is not in use) and the BATT LOW indicator flashes. Within about 10 minutes, the phone will automati- cally disconnect. Recharge the bat- tery pack.

•If the battery pack loses its charge completely or the base loses power while the handset is away from it, the security access-protection code needs to be reset. To reset the secu- rity code, place the handset on the base. If it was the handset that lost power, leave the handset on the base to charge the battery pack.

•About once a month, fully discharge the battery pack by keeping the handset off the base until the BATT LOW indicator turns on. Otherwise, it loses its ability to fully recharge, and you might have to recharge and replace it more often.

SETTING THE DIALING MODE

Set T/P (Tone/Pulse) for the type of ser- vice you have. If you are not sure which type you have, do this test.

1. Set T/P on the back of the base to T.

2.Press SPEAKER (speakerphone) on the base (or TALK on the handset after the battery is charged) and lis- ten for a dial tone.

illus -- (1) SPEAKER on base and (2) TALK on handset (show more of base)

3.Press any number other than 0.

Note: If your phone system requires that you dial an access code (9, for example) before you dial an outside number, do not press the access code either.

If the dial tone stops, you have touch-tone service. Leave T/P set to

T.

If the tone continues, you have pulse (rotary) service. Set T/P to P.

4.To hang up, press SPEAKER on the base (or TALK on the handset) so either LED indicator turns off.

ADJUSTING THE

RINGERS

The ET-928’s handset and base each have four different ringer tones. You can set the base’s and handset’s ringer tone, or turn off the ringer on either or both.

ET-928 specifications

The Radio Shack ET-928, released in the late 1980s, is a notable entry in the realm of handheld electronic devices. Primarily designed as a personal organizer, the ET-928 represented the transition from traditional paper planners to electronic solutions that paved the way for modern smartphones and PDAs.

At its core, the ET-928 is powered by a robust 8-bit microprocessor, which provides the device with sufficient computational capabilities for its range of applications. The device features a compact and user-friendly design, allowing users to easily navigate its functions through a straightforward interface. The LCD display, while modest by today’s standards, provides clear visibility of information and is instrumental in the device's ease of use.

One of the main features of the Radio Shack ET-928 is its comprehensive address book function, allowing users to store contact information for personal and professional use. This function is complemented by its calendar capabilities, enabling users to keep track of appointments, meetings, and important dates. The ET-928 also includes a note-taking feature that allows for quick and convenient memos, enhancing its functionality as a versatile planning tool.

In addition to personal organization, the ET-928 incorporates a variety of productivity tools. Among these are basic calculator functions, a world time feature showing different time zones, and a password-protection option to secure sensitive information. These features, while simple by modern standards, were groundbreaking at the time, reflecting the growing need for efficient time management and organization in a fast-paced world.

The technology behind the Radio Shack ET-928 includes its use of non-volatile memory, ensuring that user data is retained even when the device is powered off. This feature was particularly appealing to users, as it provided peace of mind knowing that important information would not be lost.

Overall, the Radio Shack ET-928 is remembered as a pioneering device that combined essential organizational features with early digital technology. Its lightweight design, user-friendly interface, and suite of productivity tools made it a practical choice for individuals looking to streamline their daily tasks. The ET-928 stands as a significant step in the evolution of personal electronics, foreshadowing the multifunctional devices we rely on today.
