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 shown 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 REN to your phone company.  These
numbers are located on the bottom panel 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

INSTALLATION

SELECTING A LOCATION

You can place the phone on a desk top or table, or mount it on a wall.
Select 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 handset's range.  If you have a choice of
several locations, try each to see which provides the best performance.

CAUTION:  The supplied Radio Shack adapter was designed specifically for
          your ET-536.  Use only the supplied adapter.

NOTES:  Your telephone connects directly to a modular telephone line jack.
        If your phone line jack is not a modular jack, you can update the
        wiring yourself, using jacks and adapters available at your local
        Radio Shack store.  Or, you can let the phone company update the
        wiring for you.

        The phone company will charge you for the installation of necessary
        jacks.

        The USOC number of the jack to be installed is RJ11C (RJ11W if you
        want to mount it on a wall plate).
