INSTALLING THE BATTERY PACK
To install the supplied rechargeable battery pack, place it on the battery
compartment tracks, then slide it up (toward the antenna) until it locks
in place.
NOTE: You must charge a new battery pack at least 24 hours before you use
it the first time.
When the handset's battery pack no longer recharges, replace the battery
pack. You can order a replacement battery pack from your local Radio Shack
store.
To remove the battery pack. press the tab on the back of the handset, slide
the battery down (away from the antenna) until it stops, then lift it up to
remove it.
NOTE: The phone uses one rechargeable nickel-cadmium battery pack. At the
end of the battery's useful life, it must be recycled or disposed of
properly. Contact your local, county, or state hazardous waste
management authorities for information on recycling or disposal
programs in your area. Some options that might be available are:
municipal curbside collection, drop-off boxes at retailers,
recycling collection centers, and mailback programs.
CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
You must charge the battery pack at least 24 hours before you use the
ET-910 the first time or when you replace the battery. To charge or
recharge the battery pack, simply place the handset on the cradle. The
CHARGE indicator lights.
NOTES: If the CHARGE indicator does not light or blinks continuously when
you place the handset on the cradle, be sure the battery and AC
adapter are correctly and security connected. Also, check the
contacts on both the handset and base. If the contacts are dirty
or tarnished, clean them with a pencil eraser.
If the handset is charged, and the AC adapter is unplugged from
the AC outlet or the AC outlet loses power, the handset beeps
intermittently until power is restored to the base and the security
access-protection code is reset. To turn off the handset sooner,
so it stops beeping, press TONE *, #, or any number key (0-9).
If the base loses AC power and the handset is away from the base,
place the handset on the base for a few seconds after AC power is
restored. This resets the security access-protection code.
Complete loss of power will result in memory loss after a small
period of time. The ET-910 is designed to hold memory for a minimum
of 2 minutes after power loss. For this reason, it is advisable to
have a charged battery in the unit if the phone line becomes dis-
connected or there is an electrical failure.
You can recharge the battery pack at any time, but you must be sure to
recharge the battery pack when the handset's PRIVACY/LOW BATT indicator
lights.
If the battery pack will not hold a charge, replace it. We recommend you
replace the battery pack about once a year.
NOTES: The first time you use your phone after charging a new or
completely discharged battery, the handset might not work or it
might sound an error tone when you press TALK. If this happens,
replace the handset on the cradle for about 5 seconds, then try
again.
About once a month, fully discharge the battery. Otherwise, it
will lose its ability to fully recharge, and you might have to
recharge and replace it more often.
To fully discharge the battery, keep the handset off the cradle
until PRIVACY/LOW BATT turns on. Then return the handset to the
base and fully recharge the battery.
Some deeply discharged batteries take longer to charge. If over
night charging is not sufficient try charging for up to 48 hours.

Set PULSE/TONE for the type of service you have. If you are not sure which
type you have, do this test.
1. Set PULSE/TONE to TONE.
2. Press TALK on the handset or SPKR (speakerphone) on the base and listen
for a dial tone.

PULSE.

handset or SPKR on the base.
ADJUSTING THE RINGERS
The ET-910 lets you control its base and handset ringers separately. You
can choose from four different ringer types for the base and handset, or
turn off the ringer on one or both.
NOTE: If you turn off the ringer on the base or handset, you can still
make calls normally using that keypad and you can still answer calls
if you hear another phone on that same line ring (see "Operation" on
Faxback Doc. # 32938).
