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 required AC power to operate.
When the AC power is off, you cannot dial out or receive
incoming calls using your ET-685. 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-685 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.

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:

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 (three in rural areas), your phones
might not ring. 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
