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.

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.
