Important:

•Cordless phones such as this one require AC power to operate. When the power is off, you cannot make or receive calls using your ET-929. 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.

•Your phone operates on standard radio frequencies as allocated by the FCC. It is possible for other ra- dio units operating nearby on similar frequencies to unintentionally inter- cept your conversation or cause in- terference. This possible lack of privacy can occur with any cordless phone.

READ THIS BEFORE INSTALLATION

Your ET-929 conforms to federal regula- tions, and you can connect it to most telephone lines. However, each device that you connect to the telephone line draws power from the 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 areas, a total REN of three might impair ringer operation. If ringer operation is impaired, remove a device from the line.

FCC STATEMENT

Your ET-929 complies with Part 68 of FCC Rules. You must, upon request, provide the FCC registration number and the REN to your phone company. These numbers are 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 systems

The ET-929 complies with the limits for a Class B digital device as specified in Part 15 of FCC Rules. These limits pro- vide reasonable protection against ra- dio and TV interference in a residential area. However, your equipment might cause TV or radio interference even when it is operating properly. To elimi- nate interference, you can try one or more of the following corrective mea- sures:

•Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

•Increase the distance between the equipment and the radio or TV.

•Use outlets on different electrical cir- cuits for the equipment and the ra- dio or TV.

Consult your local RadioShack store if the problem still exists.
