ET-536/10-Channel Cordless Telephone with 10-Number Memory
(430-1036)                 Care and Maintenance       Faxback Doc. #  37015

Your Radio Shack ET-536 10 Channel Cordless Telephone with 10-Number Memory
is an example of superior design and craftsmanship.  The following sugges-
tions will help you care for your cordless telephone so you can enjoy it for
years.

  Keep the phone dry.  If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.  Liquids
  might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.

  Handle the phone gently and carefully.  Dropping it can damage circuit
  boards and cases and can cause the phone to work improperly.

  Use and store the phone only in normal temperature environments. Tempera-
  ture extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices and distort or
  melt plastic parts.

  Keep the phone away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear of
  parts.

  Wipe the phone with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new.  Do
  not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean
  the phone.

Modifying or tampering with the telephone's internal components can cause
a malfunction and might invalidate your telephone's warranty and void your
FCC authorization to operate it.  If your phone is not performing as it
should, take it to your local Radio Shack store for assistance.  If the
trouble is affecting the phone lines, the phone company might ask you to
disconnect your phone until you have resolved the problem.

REPLACING THE BATTERY

If you follow the instructions in "Connecting and Charging the Battery",
the battery should last about one year.  If the battery will not hold a
charge for more than 2 hours after an overnight charge, replace the battery
with a new 3.6V, 300 mAh battery with a connector that fits the socket in
the battery compartment.  You can order a replacement battery through your
local Radio Shack store.

Install the new battery as described on Faxback Doc. # 37011, then charge
the battery (see "Connecting and Charging the Battery" on Faxback Doc.
# 37011).

NOTE:  To avoid losing phone numbers stored in memory, try to install and
       begin charging the new battery within 1 minute.

1.  Loosen the screw on the battery compartment cover on the bottom of the
    handset.  Press down and slide off the handset's battery compartment
    cover in the direction of the arrow.

2.  Gently pull on the battery connector to disconnect it, then remove the
    battery.

3.  Insert a fresh battery and insert its connector into the socket inside
    the battery compartment.

4.  Replace the cover and tighten the screw.

CAUTIONS:  You must use a replacement battery of the same size and type.

           Do not dispose of the battery in a fire because it might explode.

           Do not open or mutilate the battery.

           Be careful not to short the battery by touching it with conduc-
           ting materials, such as rings, bracelets, and keys.  The battery
           or conductor might overheat and burn.

IMPORTANT: This product contains a rechargeable nickel cadmium battery.  At
           the end of the battery's useful life, it must be recycled or dis-
           posed of properly. Contact your local, county, or state hazardous
           waste management authorities for information on recycling or dis-
           posal programs in your area. Some options that might be available
           are: municipal curb-side collection, drop-off boxes at retailers
           such as your local Radio Shack store, recycling collection cen-
           ters, and mail-back programs.

THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW

In the unlikely event that your phone causes problems on the phone line,
the phone company can temporarily discontinue your service. If this happens,
the phone company attempts to notify you in advance.  If advance notice is
not practical, the phone company notifies you as soon as possible and ad-
vises you of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.

Also the phone company can make changes to its lines, equipment, operations,
or procedures that could affect the operation of this telephone.  The tele-
phone company notifies you of these changes in advance, so you can take the
necessary steps to prevent interruption of your telephone service.

Your phone might cause TV or radio interference even when it is operating
properly. To determine whether your phone is causing the interference, turn
off your phone.  If the interference goes away, your phone is causing the
interference.

Try to eliminate the interference by:

  Moving your phone away from the receiver.

  Connecting your phone to an AC outlet that is on a different electrical
  circuit from the receiver.

  Contacting your local Radio Shack store for help.

If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you stop
using your phone.

LIGHTNING

Your telephone has built-in protection circuits to reduce the risk of
damage from surges in telephone line and power line current.  These protec-
tion circuits meet or exceed FCC requirements.  However, lightning striking
the telephone or power lines can damage your telephone.

Lightning damage is not common.  Nevertheless, if you live in an area that
has severe electrical storms, we suggest that you unplug your phone during
storms to reduce the possibility of damage.
