FEATURES
Your RadioShack ET-1118 900 MHz
Digital Spread Spectrum Cordless Tele-
phone uses the most advanced cordless
telephone technology to give you superi-
or audio quality and extended range.
The ET-1118’s Caller ID unit records
each caller’s telephone number (and
name, if available in your area) and the
date and time of the call, as provided by
your local phone company to Caller ID
service subscribers. And, if you sub-
scribe to Call Waiting with Caller ID, the
ET-1118 shows you the incoming caller
information, even when you are already
on the phone.
Your ET-1118 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.
Headset Jack — lets you connect an
optional headset (available from your lo-
cal RadioShack store) for hands-free
convenience.
Speakerphone — lets you make or an-
swer calls without using the handset.
Dual Keypads — a full set of keys on
both the handset and base let you use
either keypad to operate the phone.
3-Line Liquid Crystal Display — lets
you view an entire Caller ID record on
one screen.
Two-Way Intercom/Paging System —
lets you send a signal from the base to
the handset, or from the handset to the
base, to page someone or locate the
handset when it is away from the base.
If someone answers, you can use the
ET-1118 as an intercom.
20-Number Memory Dialing — lets you
store up to 20 numbers (10 each in the
handset and base) in memory for easy
dialing.
Volume Control — lets you adjust the
volume you hear through the handset.
Adjustable Ringers — you can set dif-
ferent volumes for the handset and base
ringers.
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 — lets you set the handset so
you can answer a call by simply lifting
the handset from the base or by press-
ing any key when the handset is away
from 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-1118. 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 AC power is lost, the ET-1118
loses the security access-protection
code connection between the base
and the handset. When power is
restored, put the handset on the
base briefly to restore this connec-
tion so you can use the handset.
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 areas, a
total REN of three might impair ringer
operation. If ringer operation is impaired,
remove a device from the line.
FCC STATEMENT
This 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.
Note: You must not connect your phone
to any of the following:
• coin-operated systems
• party-line systems
• most electronic key phone systems
This phone 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
radio or TV.
Consult your local RadioShack store if
the problem still exists.

INSTALLATION
MOUNTING THE PHONE
You can place the ET-1118’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 modular 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 phone’s
range. If you have a choice of several lo-
cations, try each to see which provides
the best performance.
Cautions:
You must use a Class 2
power source that supplies
9 volts AC and delivers at
least 500 mA. Its center tip must be
set to positive and its plug must fit
the ET-1118's DC IN 9V jack. The
supplied adapter meets these speci-
fications. Using an adapter that
does not meet these specifications
could damage the ET-1118 or the
adapter.
• Always connect the AC adapter to
the ET-1118 before you connect it to
AC power. When you finish, discon-
nect the adapter from AC power be-
fore you disconnect it from the ET-
1118.
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 for a wall
plate).
On a Desk Top
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 telephone 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. Insert the two tabs at the top of the
narrow end of the supplied bracket
into the base’s upper tab slots as
shown, then press down on the
bracket’s latches and insert them
into the lower slots.
2. Plug one end of the supplied short
modular cord into the TEL LINE jack
on the back of the base.
3. Insert the supplied AC adapter’s
barrel plug into the DC IN 9V jack.
4. Route the adapter and modular
cords through the grooves on the
bracket.

outlet.
7. Press and lift out the handset
holder, flip it over as shown, then
snap it back into place so it holds
the handset.
8. Lift the base’s antenna to a vertical
position.
Note: To mount the phone directly on a
wall, you need two screws (not supplied)
with heads that fit into the keyhole slots
on the bottom of the base.
Follow Steps 1, 3, 4, and 6–8 under “On
a Wall Plate or Wall,” then follow these
additional instructions 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 3/32 inch
(3 mm) from the wall.
2. Plug one end of the supplied long
modular cord into the TEL LINE jack
at the back of the base.
3. Align the bracket’s keyhole slots
with the mounting screws and slide
the base downward to secure it.

CONNECTING AND
CHARGINGTHE BATTERY
PACK
The ET-1118 comes with a recharge-
able nickel-cadmium battery pack in the
handset but not connected. Before using
your phone, you must connect the bat-
tery pack and 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
into the socket in the compartment
(the connector fits only one way),
then replace the battery pack.
4. Replace the cover.
To charge the battery pack, place the
handset on the base either faceup or
facedown. The CHARGE indicator on
the base lights and Total:00 appears
on the handset display.
Recharge the battery pack when Low
Battery flashes on the display.
Important: Be sure the battery pack is
properly connected before you try to
charge it. The CHARGE indicator lights
when the handset is on the base, even if
the battery pack is not connected.
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,
return the handset to the base for
about 5 seconds. This resets the
security access-protection code.
• If the base loses power for 60 min-
utes while the handset is away from
it or the handset’s battery pack is
completely discharged, the security
access-protection code might be
lost. To reset the code, return the
handset to the base for about 5 sec-
onds.
• Using a pencil eraser, clean the
charging contacts on the handset
and the base about once a month.

11
• If the battery pack becomes weak
during a call, the handset beeps
every 3 seconds and Low Bat-
tery flashes. If this happens, you
cannot make another call on the
phone until you recharge the battery
pack.
• About once a month, fully discharge
the battery pack by keeping the
handset off the base until Low
Battery flashes. Otherwise, the
battery pack loses its ability to fully
recharge.
• 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
“Replacing the Battery Pack” on
Page 28).
SETTING THE DIALING
MODE
Set DIAL MODE on the back of the base
for the type of service you have. If you
are not sure which type you have, once

2. Lift the handset, press TALK, and
listen for a dial tone.
3. Press any number except 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 number ei-
ther.
If the dial tone stops, you have touch-
tone service. Leave DIAL MODE set to T.
If the dial tone continues, you have
pulse service. Set DIAL MODE to P
(pulse).
