Your RadioShack ET-683 900 MHz 2 Line Cordless Speakerphone uses advanced 
cordless telephone technology to give you superior audio quality and 
extended range.  The ET-683 lets you place and receive calls on two 
separate telephone lines. It is designed to exacting standards that ensure
reliability, long life, and outstanding performance.

The ET-683's Caller ID unit records each caller's telephone number (and 
name, if available in your area) and the date and time of the call, as 
provided by your local phone company to Caller ID service subscribers.  If 
you subscribe to Call Waiting with Caller ID, the ET-683 can show you the 
incoming caller information, even when you are already on the phone.

Its features include:

Important Caller ID Information

To use the phone's Caller ID and Caller ID with Call Waiting features, you 
must be in an area where those services are available and you must 
subscribe to those services through your local phone company.

Where Caller ID is offered, one or more options are generally available:

  Caller's number only.

  Caller's name only.

  Caller's name and number.

WARNING:  To reduce the risk of fire or shock hazard, do not expose this
          product to rain or moisture.

CAUTION:  To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove cover or 
          back.  No user-serviceable parts inside.  Refer servicing to
          qualified personnel.

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-683.  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.

            When AC power is lost, the ET-683 loses the security access
            protection code connection between the base and the handset.  
            When power is restored, put the handset on the base briefly to 
            restore this connection so you can use the handset.

Read This Before Installation

We have designed your phone to conform to federal regulations and you can 
connect it to most phone lines.  However each device that you connect to 
the telephone line draws power from the line.  We refer to this power draw 
as the phone's ringer equivalence number, or REN. The REN is on the bottom
of your phone.

If you use 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 one of the devices from the line.

FCC Statement

Your 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 on the bottom of the base.

You must not connect your phone to any of the following:

  Coin-operated systems.

  Party-line systems.

  Most electronic key phone systems.

This equipment complies with the limits for a Class B digital device as 
specified in Part 15 of FCC Rules.  These limits provide reasonable 
protection against radio and TV interference in a residential area.  
However, your equipment might cause TV or radio interference even when it 
is operating properly.  To eliminate interference, you can try one or more 
of the following corrective measures. 

  Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

  Increase the distance between the equipment and the radio or TV.

  Use outlets on different electrical circuits for the equipment and the 
  radio or TV.
 
Consult your local RadioShack store if the problem still exists.
