Your RadioShack ET-1111 900 MHz
Digital Spread Spectrum Cordless Tele-
phone uses advanced cordless tele-
phone technology to give you superior
audio quality and extended range.
The ET-1111’s Caller ID unit records
each caller’s telephone number (and
name, if available in your area) and the
day and time of the call, as provided by
your local phone company to Caller ID
service subscribers. If you subscribe to
Call Waiting with Caller ID, the ET-1111
can show you the incoming caller infor-
mation, even when you are already on
the phone.
Your ET-1111 has these features:
900 MHz Operation — provides longer
range and less interference than many
other cordless phones.
Spread Spectrum Technology —
spreads the signal across several fre-
quencies, providing additional security
for your phone conversations.
Caller ID Memory — stores up to 50
Caller ID records.
3-Line Liquid Crystal Display — lets
you view an entire Caller ID record on
one screen.
10-Number Memory Dialing — lets you
store up to 10 numbers in memory for
easy dialing.
Volume Control — lets you adjust the
volume you hear through the handset.
Adjustable Ringer — lets you choose
high or low volume for the ET-1111’s
ringer.
Page/Find — lets you send a signal
from the base to the handset to page
someone or to help you locate the hand-
set if you have misplaced it.
Facedown or Faceup Handset Charg-
ing — you can place the handset on the
base facedown or faceup (to show the
Caller ID display, for example).
Ample Talk and Standby Time — the
supplied battery (when fully charged)
provides about 4 hours of talk time or 7
days of standby time.
20 Channels — automatically selects a
clear channel when you make or answer
a call.
Security Access-Protection Code —
automatically prevents other cordless
phone users from using your phone line
while the handset is off the base.
Redial — lets you quickly redial the last
number dialed.
Flash — sends an electronic switch-
hook signal for use with special phone
services, such as Call Waiting.

Tone/Pulse Dialing — lets you use ei-
ther type of service, and you can easily
switch from pulse to tone dialing for
long-distance, bank-by-phone, or other
special services.
Auto Talk — you can set the phone so
you can answer a call simply by lifting
the handset from the base.
Any Key Answer — you can set the
phone so you can press any key on the
handset to answer a call when the hand-
set is away from the base.
Hearing-Aid Compatibility — lets you
use your phone with hearing aids that
have a T (telephone) switch.
This telephone has been tested and
found to comply with all applicable FCC
standards and is UL listed.
We recommend you record your
phone’s serial number here. The num-
ber is on the bottom of the base.

Important:
• 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-1111. 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.
• When the battery pack is completely
discharged, the ET-1111 loses the
security access-protection code
connection between the base and
the handset. Recharge or replace
the battery pack and place the
handset on the base to restore the
code.
READ THIS BEFORE
INSTALLATION
We have designed your phone to con-
form to federal regulations and you can
connect it to most phone lines. However,
each device that you connect to the tele-
phone line draws power from the line.
We refer to this power draw as the
phone’s
ringer equivalence number , or
REN. The REN is on the bottom of your
phone.
If you use 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 opera-
tion. If ringer operation is impaired, re-
move one of the devices from the line.
FCC STATEMENT
Your telephone 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.
You must not connect your phone to any
of the following:
• coin-operated systems
• party-line systems
• most electronic key phone systems
This equipment complies with the limits
for a Class B digital device as specified
in Part 15 of
FCC Rules . These limits
provide reasonable protection against
radio 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.

INSTALLATION
MOUNTING THE PHONE
You can place the ET-1111’s base on a
desk or table, mount it on a standard
wall plate, or mount it directly on a wall.
Choose 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 intercoms,
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 sev-
eral locations, try each to see which
provides the best performance.
Caution: You must use a Class
2 power source that supplies 9
volts DC and delivers at least
350 mA. Its center tip must be set to
positive and its plug must fit the ET-
1111's DC IN 9V jack. The supplied
adapter meets these specifications. Us-
ing an adapter that does not meet these
specifications could damage the ET-
1111 or the adapter.
The supplied RadioShack adapter was
designed specifically for your ET-1111.
Use only the supplied adapter.
Notes:
• Your telephone connects directly to
a modular phone line jack. If your
phone line jack is not a modular
jack, you can update the wiring
yourself, using jacks and adapters
available from your local Ra-
dioShack store. Or, you can let the
telephone company update the wir-
ing for you.
• The USOC number of the jack to be
installed is RJ11C, or RJ11W for a
wall plate jack.
On a Desk
Follow these steps when you place the
base on a desk or table.
1. Plug one end of the supplied long
modular cord into the TEL LINE jack
on the back of the base.
2. Plug the modular cord’s other end
into a modular phone line jack.
3. Insert the supplied AC adapter’s
barrel plug into the DC IN 9V jack on
the back of the base.

4. Route the adapter’s cord through
the strain relief slot on the bottom of
the base.
5. Plug the adapter into a standard AC
outlet.
6. Lift the base’s antenna to a vertical
position.
On a Wall Plate or Wall
1. Plug one end of the supplied short
modular cord into the TEL LINE jack
on the back of the base as in “On a
Desk Top,” Step 1, on Page 6.
2. Insert the supplied AC adapter’s
barrel plug into the DC IN 9V jack as
in “On a Desk,” Step 3, on Page 6.
3. Route the adapter and modular
cords through the grooves on the
bottom of the base.
4. Plug the modular cord’s other end
into the wall plate jack, then align
the base’s keyhole slots with the
wall plate studs and slide the base
downward to secure it.
5. Plug the adapter into a standard AC
outlet.
6. Press and lift out the handset hold-
er, rotate it 180°, then snap it back
into place so it holds the handset.
7. Lift the base’s antenna to a vertical
position.
Note: To mount the ET-1111 directly on
a wall, you need two screws (not sup-
plied) with heads that fit into the keyhole
slots on the bottom of the base.
Follow the steps under “On a Wall Plate
or Wall,” then apply these additional in-
structions for placement on a wall.
1. Drill two holes 315/16
inches (100 mm) apart.
Then thread a screw
into each hole, letting
the heads extend
about
5/16 inch (8 mm)
from the wall.

2. Plug one end of the supplied long
modular cord into the TEL LINE jack
on the back of the base.
3. Route the adapter and modular
cords through the grooves on the
bottom of the base.
4. Align the base’s keyhole slots with
the mounting screws and slide the
base downward to secure it.
CONNECTING AND
CHARGINGTHE BATTERY
PACK
The ET-1111 comes with a recharge-
able Ni-Cd battery pack in the handset
but not connected. Before using your
phone, you must connect the battery
pack, then charge it for about 24 hours.
1. Press down and slide off the battery
pack compartment cover as shown.
2. Lift the battery pack out of the com-
partment.
3. Plug the battery pack’s connector in-
to the socket in the compartment
(the connector fits only one way).
4. Replace the cover.
To charge the battery pack, place the
handset either faceup or facedown on
the base. The CHARGE/IN USE indica-
tor on the base lights and Total:00
appears on the handset display.
Recharge the battery pack when the
handset beeps every 3 seconds and
Low Battery flashes on the display
during a call. You cannot make another
call until you recharge the battery pack.
43-1111.fm Page 8 Tuesday, June 29, 1999 3:38 PM

9
Important: Be sure the battery pack is
properly connected before you try to
charge it. The CHARGE/INUSE indica-
tor lights when the handset is on the
base, even if the battery pack is not con-
nected.
Notes:
• 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 when
you press TALK. If this happens, re-
turn the handset to the base for
about 5 seconds. This resets the se-
curity access-protection code.
• If the handset’s battery pack is com-
pletely depleted, the security ac-
cess-protection code might be lost.
To reset the code, return the hand-
set to the base for about 5 seconds.
• Using a pencil eraser, clean the
charging contacts on the handset
and the base about once a month.
• About once a month, fully discharge
the battery pack by keeping the
handset off the base until Low
Battery
flashes with the phone
off-hook. Otherwise, the battery
pack loses its ability to fully re-
charge.
• If the display is blank and the phone
does not work, recharge the battery
pack. (The battery power might be
too low to light the display.)
• If you are not going to use your
phone for an extended period of
time, disconnect the battery pack.
This increases the battery pack’s
usable life.
• The supplied battery pack should
last for about a year. When it loses
its ability to fully recharge, order a
replacement battery pack from your
local RadioShack store (see “Re-
placing the Battery Pack” on
Page 24).
SETTING THE DIALING
MODE
Set PULSE/TONE on the back of the
base for the type of service you have. If
you are not sure which type you have,
once the battery pack is fully charged,

CALLER ID OPERATION
If you subscribe to Caller ID service from
your phone company, the phone compa-
ny sends information about the call, as
well as the time and date, between the
first and second rings of every call you

when it receives a call, and it stores up
to 50 Caller ID records for later review. It
also shows if caller information is un-
available or if the name and number
were blocked by the caller (see “Caller
