and FCC standards.
Important Caller ID
Information
To use the System’s Caller ID fea-
tures, you must be in an area where
Caller ID service is available and you
must subscribe to that service.
Where Caller ID is offered, one or
more of the following options are gen-
erally available:
• Caller’s number only
• Caller’s name only
• Caller’s name and number
For the ET-545’s Caller ID memory
dial feature to operate, you must re-
ceive the caller’s number.
This symbol is intended to alert you
to the presence of uninsulated dan-
gerous voltage within the product’s
enclosure that might be of sufficient
magnitude to constitute a risk of
electric shock. Do not open the
product’s case.
This symbol is intended to inform
you that important operating and
maintenance instructions are in-
cluded in the literature accompany-
ing this product.
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 us-
ing your ET-545. For this reason, the
ET-545 cordless phone should not be
your only telephone. To be safe, you
should also have a phone that does
not require AC power to operate (not a
cordless phone) so you can still make
and receive calls if there is an AC
power failure.
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
DO NOT OPEN.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE
COVER OR BACK. NO USER-SERVICE-
ABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVIC-
ING TO QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.
Warning: To prevent fire or shock
hazard, do not expose this product
to rain or moisture.
CAUTION

Your ET-545 operates on standard ra-
dio frequencies, as allocated by the
FCC. Therefore, it is possible for other
radio units operating on similar fre-
quencies, within a certain area, to in-
advertently intercept your conversa-
tions and/or cause interference on
your cordless telephone. This lack of
privacy can occur with any cordless
telephone.
READ THIS BEFORE
INSTALLATION
We have designed your telephone to
conform to federal regulations, and
you can connect it to most telephone
lines. However, each device that you
connect to the phone line draws pow-
er 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 your phone’s
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 phone might not ring. In rural ar-
eas, 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 re-
quest, provide the FCC registration
number and the REN to your phone
company. These numbers are on the
bottom of your phone’s base.
Note: You must not connect your
phone to any of the following:
• Coin-operated systems
• Party-line systems
• Most electronic key phone sys-
tems

PREPARATION
SELECTING A
LOCATION
Select a location for the telephone that
is:
• Near an AC outlet
• Near a telephone line jack
• Out of the way of normal activities
• Away from electrical machinery,
electrical appliances, and metal
walls or filing cabinets
• Away from wireless intercoms,
alarms, and room monitors
The base’s location affects the phone’s
range. If you have a choice of several
locations, try each to see which pro-
vides the best performance.
Note: If the phone line jack is not a
modular jack, you can update the wir-
ing yourself, using jacks and adapters
available at your local RadioShack
store. Or, you can let the phone com-
pany update the wiring for you. The
USOC number of the jack to be in-
stalled is RJ11C.
CONNECTING THE BASE
Follow these steps to set up and con-
nect the base.
1. Plug one end of the supplied mod-
ular 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. Plug the supplied AC adapter’s
barrel plug into the 12V DC jack on
the back of the base.
4. Plug the adapter into a standard
AC outlet.
5. Fully extend the base’s antenna
and place it in a vertical position.
Caution: You must use a 120V AC/
12V DC adapter that delivers at least
200 milliamps. Its center tip must be
positive, and its plug must correctly fit
the phone’s 12V DC jack. The supplied
adapter meets these requirements.
Using an adapter that does not meet
these requirements could damage the
phone or the adapter.

CONNECTING THE
BATTERY PACK
Before you use your phone for the first
time, you must connect the battery
pack in the handset and charge it for
about 15 hours.
Slide off the battery compartment cov-
er on the back of the handset. Con-
nect the battery pack’s plug to the pins
inside the compartment. Then replace
the cover.
CHARGING THE
BATTERY PACK
Charge the battery pack by placing
the handset on the base so the
CHARGE/TALK indicator lights. Let
the battery pack charge for about 15
hours.
You can recharge the battery pack at
any time, but be sure to recharge it
when LOW BATT on the handset
lights.

Notes:
• You can set POWER to ON while
the battery pack charges.
• The first time you use your phone
after charging a new battery pack,
the handset might not work and
might sound an error tone when
you press TALK. This might also
occur when you recharge a bat-
tery pack that has been com-
pletely discharged.
If this happens, return the handset
to the base for 5 seconds with
POWER set to ON. This resets the
automatic security access code.
• If the CHARGE/TALK indicator
does not light when you place the
handset on the base, be sure the
battery pack is connected to the
pins inside the handset’s battery
compartment and the AC adapter
is securely connected to the base.
Also, check the charging contacts
on the handset and base. If the
contacts on the base are dirty or
tarnished, gently clean them with
a small brush. If the contacts on
the handset are dirty or tarnished,
clean them with a pencil eraser.
• About once a month, fully dis-
charge the battery pack by keep-
ing the handset off the base until
LOW BATT lights. Then return the
handset to the base and fully
recharge the battery pack. If you
do not fully discharge and
recharge the battery pack periodi-
cally, it loses its ability to fully
recharge.
• To avoid damage to the battery
pack, always recharge the hand-
set before battery power grows
too weak to light the LOW BATT
indicator.
• If you are not going to use your
phone for an extended period of
time, disconnect its battery. This
helps to increase the battery’s
usable life.

SETTING THE DIALING
MODE
Set TONE/PULSE 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 is charged, do
this test.
1. Set POWER to ON.
2. Set TONE/PULSE to TONE.
3. Lift the handset, press TALK and
listen for a dial tone.
4. Press any number other than 0.
If the dial tone stops, you have
touch-tone service. Leave TONE/
PULSE set to TONE.
illus
illus
If the dial tone continues, you
have pulse service. Set TONE/
PULSE to PULSE.
STORING AN AREA
CODE
To quickly dial local calls using the
Caller ID and stored number features,
you need to store your local area code
in the system. Then, when you dial a
call using DIAL or DIAL 1+, the ET-545
skips the area code if it matches the
one you stored.
Note: You must store your local area
code or the phone will not dial more
than 7 digits when you dial numbers
from a Caller ID record.
Hold down FLASH/DEL for 3 seconds
when the TALK key is not lit. The dis-
play shows ENTER AREA CODE. En-
ter your 3-digit area code. The phone
sounds two long beeps.

PHONE OPERATION
Your ET-545’s handset display shows
telephone numbers as you dial them
or when you recall them from memory.
The handset shows the current chan-
nel number and the duration of your
call in minutes and seconds.
If you subscribe to Caller ID, the ET-
545 also automatically displays infor-
mation about an incoming call before
you answer the call.
MAKING/ANSWERING A
CALL
You can use your cordless telephone
at the base or away from the base.
At the Base
You can use the handset at the base
like a regular corded telephone. Set
POWER to ON and place the handset
on the base.
Note: When POWER is set to OFF,
other telephones on the same line still
ring when there is an incoming call.
The CHARGE/TALK indicator on the
base flashes until you answer the call.
To answer a call, just lift the handset
from the base.
To make a call, lift the handset from
the base and press TALK. The hand-
set keypad and the CHARGE/TALK
indicator on the base light.
The keypad on the handset turns off if
no button is pressed for more than 10
seconds (but the TALK key remains
lit).
To disconnect a call, replace the
handset on the base or press TALK so
the TALK key turns off.
Away from the Base
You can use the handset without be-
ing near the base. Set POWER to ON.

To make or answer a call, press TALK
so the TALK key on the handset lights.
Notes:
• If the phone is out of range of the
base, the handset beeps three
times and the TALK key turns off.
• You can make or answer a call on
a phone on the same line as the
cordless phone, even if the ET-
545’s handset is away from the
base.
• The keypad on the handset turns
off if no button is pressed for more
than 10 seconds (but the TALK
key remains lit).
To disconnect a call, press TALK so
the TALK key turns off.
REDUCING
INTERFERENCE
The ET-545 automatically selects a
clear channel at the start of each call.
CH and the current channel number
appear on the display whenever TALK
is lit. Sometimes, however, the select-
ed channel picks up interference dur-
ing a call. To reduce interference
during a call, press CH to switch to an-
other channel (25 in all) until you re-
ceive better reception.
USING REDIAL
To quickly redial the last number di-
aled, simply lift the handset and press
TALK, then press REDIAL/PAUSE. The
redialed number appears on the dis-
play and the phone dials it.
Notes:
• The redial memory holds up to 80
digits.
• We recommend you not use
REDIAL/PAUSE to dial numbers
that include a tone entry (see
“Using Tone Services on a Pulse
Line” on Page 12).
• The redial memory does not store
a FLASH/DEL entry or any digits
entered after you press FLASH/
DEL.

perform the switchhook operation for
special services, such as Call Waiting.
For example, if you have Call Waiting,
press FLASH/DEL to take an incoming
call without disconnecting the current
call. FLASH briefly appears on the
display. Press FLASH/DEL again to re-
turn to the first call.
Notes:
• If you do not have special phone
services, pressing FLASH/DEL
might disconnect the current call.
• The redial memory does not store
a FLASH/DEL entry or any digits
entered after you press FLASH/
DEL.
USING TONE SERVICES

tional numbers. The phone sends
these numbers as tone signals.
4. When you complete the call, place
the handset on the base or press
TALK to disconnect the call. The
phone automatically resets to
pulse dialing.
USING PAGE
The PAGE feature allows you to send
a page from the base to the handset,
so you can page someone at the
handset or locate it if you misplaced it.
When you press PAGE on the base
with POWER set to ON, the handset
beeps four sets of two beeps, TALK

Note: The handset will not beep dur-
ing a call.
MEMORY DIALING
You can store up to 30 phone num-
bers and associated names for quick
and easy dialing. Each stored number
can be up to 16 digits long, and each
name can be up to 15 characters.
Notes:
•IfTONE/PULSE is set to PULSE
and you want to use tone dialing
for a memory number, you must
store the tone entry (TONE) as the
first entry of the number you want
to tone dial.
• Do not store a number with both
pulse and tone entries in the same
memory location. This could result
in a wrong number being dialed.

If you store an emergency service’s
number (police department, fire de-
partment, ambulance) and you want to
test the stored number, make the test
call during the late evening or early
morning hours to avoid peak demand
periods. Remain on the line to explain
the reason for your call.
