INSTALLATION

INSTALLING THE

HANDSET’S

ANTENNA

Insert the antenna into the hole on the top of the hand- set, then twist the antenna clockwise until it is secure.

SELECTING A LOCATION

You can place the phone on a desk top, or mount it on a wall plate or directly on a wall. Select a location that is:

•near an AC outlet

•near a telephone line jack

•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 phone’s range. If you have a choice of several lo- cations, try each to see which provides the best performance.

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).

Caution: You must use an AC adapter that supplies 9 volts with the center tip set to positive. It must deliver 500 milli- amps, and its plug must properly fit the telephone’s DC 9V jack. The supplied AC adapter meets these specifications. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could damage the telephone or the adapter.

Placing on a Desk Top

1.Push in the two tabs on the top of the mounting bracket, then lift off just the upper part of the bracket.

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.
