Your RadioShack ET-542 All-Weather 25-Channel Cordless Telephone includes
the latest advances in cordless phone technology.
One of the phone's most valuable features is that the handset is water

pick up the phone.

call to find the one with the least
interference.

easy dialing.
Advanced Super CCT - provides clarity comparable to a corded phone,
Circuitry reduces background noise, and increases the
effective operating distance.
COM-LOK - ensures that other cordless phone users cannot
use your phone line while the handset is on
the base.
Automatic Security Access - changes each time you disconnect and restore
Protection Code power to the base to help prevent other
cordless phone users from using your phone
line while the handset is off the base.

with special phone services such as call
waiting.

Please read this Owner's Manual carefully so you can enjoy all of your
telephone's features.
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 using your ET-542. For this reason, the ET-542
cordless phone should not be your only telephone. 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.
This telephone has been tested and found to comply with all applicable UL
and FCC standards.
Your ET-542 operates on standard radio frequencies, as allocated by the
FCC. Therefore, it is possible for other radio unit operating on similar
frequencies, within a certain area, to inadvertently intercept your
conversations and/or cause interference on your cordless telephone. This
lack of privacy can occur with any cordless telephone.
For your records, we urge you to record the serial number of your phone
in the space below. The serial number is on the bottom panel of the
base.
Serial Number __________________
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 power from the phone line. We refer to
this power drawn as the device's ringer equivalence number, or REN. The
REN is shown on the bottom if 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 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 the REN to your phone company.
These numbers are located 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 systems
