This telephone has been tested and  
found to comply with all applicable UL  
and FCC standards.  
We recommend you record your  
phone’s serial number here. The num-  
ber is on the bottom of the base.  
Important:  
Serial Number __________________  
• 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-1104. 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.  
Warning: To prevent fire or shock  
hazard, do not expose this product  
to rain or moisture.  
CAUTION  
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.

DO NOT OPEN.  
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF  
ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE  
COVER OR BACK. NO USER-SERVICE-  
ABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVIC-  
ING TO QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.  
• When AC power is lost, the ET-1104  
loses the security access-protection  
code connection between the base  
and the handset. When power is re-  
stored, put the handset on the base  
briefly to restore this connection so  
you can use the handset.  
This symbol is intended to alert you to  
the presence of uninsulated danger-  
ous voltage within the product’s enclo-  
sure that might be of sufficient  
magnitude to constitute a risk of elec-  
tric shock. Do not open the product’s  
case.

READ THIS BEFORE  
INSTALLATION  
FCC STATEMENT  
Your telephone complies with Part 68 of  
FCC Rules. Upon request, you must  
provide the phone’s FCC registration  
number and REN to your telephone  
company. These numbers are on the  
bottom of the base.  
We have designed your phone to con-  
form to federal regulations and you can  
connect it to most phone lines. However,  
each device that you connect to the tele-  
phone 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.  
Note: You must not connect your tele-  
phone to:  
• coin-operated systems  
• party-line systems  
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 opera-  
tion. If ringer operation is impaired, re-  
move one of the devices from the line.

INSTALLATION  
On a Desk Top  
MOUNTING THE PHONE  
Follow these steps when you place the  
base on a desk or table.  
You can place the ET-1104’s base on a  
desk or table, mount it on a standard  
wall plate, or mount it directly on a wall.  
Choose a location that is:  
1. Insert the bracket’s tabs into the  
base’s upper tab slots, then press  
down on the bracket’s clips and in-  
sert them into the clip slots.  
• near an AC outlet  
• near a modular telephone line jack  
• out of the way of normal activities  
Clip Slots  
Clips  
• away from electrical machinery,  
electrical appliances, metal walls or  
filing cabinets, wireless intercoms,  
alarms, and room monitors  
• away from other cordless phones  
Upper Tab Slots  
The base’s location affects the hand-  
set’s range. If you have a choice of sev-  
eral locations, try each to see which  
provides the best performance.  
2. Plug one end of the supplied long  
modular cord into the TEL LINE jack  
on the back of the base.  
Caution: The supplied RadioShack AC  
adapter was designed specifically for  
your ET-1104. Use only the supplied  
adapter.  
Notes:  
3. Plug the cord’s other end into a  
modular phone line jack.  
• Your telephone connects directly to  
a modular telephone line jack. If  
your phone line jack is not modular,  
you can update the wiring yourself,  
using jacks and adapters available  
at your local RadioShack store. Or,  
you can let the phone company up-  
date the wiring for you.  
• The USOC number of the jack to be  
installed is RJ11C, or RJ11W for a  
wall plate jack.

CONNECTING AND  
CHARGING THE BATTERY  
PACK  
The ET-1104 comes with a rechargeable  
nickel-cadmium battery pack in the  
handset but not connected. Before using  
your phone, you must connect the bat-  
tery pack and then charge it for about 24  
hours.

code.  
• If the battery pack gets completely  
discharged or the base loses power  
while the handset is away from it,  
the security access-protection code  
needs to be reset. To reset the secu-  
rity code, place the handset on the  
base. If it was the handset that lost  
power, leave the handset on the  
base to charge the battery pack.  
3. Place the battery pack inside the  
compartment and fasten the retainer  
strap.  
• If the CHARGE indicator flickers  
rapidly when you place the handset  
on the base, be sure the battery  
pack and AC adapter are correctly

enter the two-digit memory location  
number (01–20).  
In some telephone systems, you must  
dial an access code (9, for example) and  
wait for a second dial tone before you  
can dial an outside number. You can  
store the access code with the phone  
number. However, you should also store  
a pause after the access code to allow  
the outside line time to connect. To en-  
ter a 2-second pause, press PAUSE. For  
a longer pause, press PAUSE additional  
times.  
The handset sounds a long beep to  
indicate that the number is stored.  
5. For each stored number, write the  
person’s or company’s name next to  
the appropriate location number on  
the supplied memory directory stick-  
er. (Use a pencil in case you need to  
change the number later.) Peel the  
backing off the sticker and attach it  
to the phone.  
Dialing a Memory Number  
To dial a number assigned to a speed  
dial button, simply press the button (M1–  
M4) for the number you want to dial.  
(You do not need to press TALK first.)  
To replace a stored number, simply store  
a new one in its place.

Chain-Dialing Service Numbers  
For quick recall of numbers for special  
services (such as alternate long dis-  
tance or bank-by-phone), store each  
group of numbers in its own memory lo-  
cation.  
:
Notes  
• Connecting a headset disconnects  
the handset’s earpiece and micro-  
phone.  
Dial the service’s main number first.  
Then, at the appropriate place in the  
call, press the memory location button  
(M1M4), or press MEM and enter the  
memory location number (01–20), for  
the stored information.  
VOL on the handset also controls  
the connected headset’s volume.  
• If you place the handset on the base  
while the headset is connected, be  
sure the handset seats properly.  
Testing Stored Emergency  
Numbers  
With a headset connected, you can  
make or answer calls as usual using the  
keys on the handset.  
If you store an emergency service’s  
number (police department, fire depart-  
ment, ambulance) and you choose to  
test the stored number, make the test  
call during the late evening or early  
morning hours to avoid peak demand  
periods. Also, remain on the line to ex-  
plain the reason for your call.  
You can use a handset holder (available  
from your local RadioShack store) to  
hang the handset on your belt for greater  
convenience.  
When you finish using the headset, dis-  
connect it and close the rubber cover to  
protect the jack.

TROUBLESHOOTING  
We do not expect you to have any problems with your ET-1104, but if you do, the fol-  
lowing suggestions might help.  
Problem  
Suggestion  
The phone does not work or works  
poorly.  
Be sure the base’s phone line cord and AC  
adapter are correctly and securely con-  
nected, and the battery pack in the handset  
is charged.  
Return the handset to the base for a few  
seconds to reset the security access-pro-  
tection code.  
The handset stops working or works  
poorly during a call.  
Move the handset closer to the base.  
Lift the base’s antenna to a fully vertical  
position.  
Be sure the handset’s battery pack is  
charged. (If the battery pack power is too  
low, it does not have enough power to light  
the LOW BATT indicator.)  
Low volume or unusual sounds.  
Severe noise interference.  
Someone has picked up another phone on  
the same line. Hang up the other phone.  
Keep the handset and base away from  
computers, remote control toys, wireless  
microphones, alarm systems, intercoms,  
room monitors, fluorescent lights, and elec-  
trical appliances.  
Move to another location or turn off the  
source of interference.  
Hang up and redial the number.  
The phone cannot be operated at a  
useful distance from the base  
because the signal becomes weak or  
noisy (handset’s range has  
decreased).  
Lift the base’s antenna to a fully vertical  
position.  
Be sure neither the handset or base  
antenna is touching a metal surface.  
Recharge the battery pack.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
Your ET-1104 900 MHz Digital Spread Spectrum Cordless Telephone is an example  
of superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for  
your ET-1104 so you can enjoy it for years.  
Keep the ET-1104 dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids  
might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.  
Use and store the ET-1104 only in normal temperature environments.  
Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, dam-  
age batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.  
Keep the ET-1104 away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature  
wear of parts.  
Handle the ET-1104 gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage cir-  
cuit boards and cases and can cause the ET-1104 to work improperly.  
Use a battery pack of the required size and recommended type. Batter-  
ies can leak chemicals that damage your ET-1104’s electronic parts.  
Wipe the ET-1104 with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking  
new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong deter-  
gents to clean the ET-1104.  
Modifying or tampering with the ET-1104’s internal components can cause a malfunc-  
tion and might invalidate it’s warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it. If  
your ET-1104 is not performing as it should, take it to your local RadioShack store for  
assistance. If the trouble is affecting the telephone lines, the phone company can ask  
you to disconnect your ET-1104 until you have resolved the problem.

REPLACING THE  
BATTERY PACK  
If you follow the instructions in “Connect-  
ing and Charging the Battery Pack” on  
Page 10, the battery pack should last  
about one year. If the battery pack does  
not hold a charge for more than 2 hours  
after an overnight charge, replace it with  
a new 3.6-volt, 600 mAh battery pack  
with a connector that fits the socket in  
the battery compartment. You can order  
a replacement battery pack through your  
local RadioShack store.  
4. Replace the cover.  
Cautions:  
You must use a replacement battery  
pack of the same size and type.  
• Do not dispose of the battery pack in  
a fire because it might explode.  
Install the new battery pack as de-  
scribed below, then charge it for about  
24 hours.  
• Do not open or mutilate the battery  
pack.  
Note: To avoid losing phone numbers  
stored in memory, try to install and begin  
charging the new battery pack within 3  
minutes.  
• Be careful not to short the battery  
pack by touching the connector’s  
pins with conducting materials, such  
as rings, bracelets, and keys. The  
battery pack or conductor might  
overheat and burn.  
1. Press down and slide off the cover  
as shown.  
If you have trouble replacing the battery  
pack, take the phone to your local Ra-  
dioShack store for assistance.  
Important: This product contains a re-  
chargeable nickel-cadmium  
battery  
2. Unfasten the plastic retainer strap  
and lift the battery pack out of the  
compartment, then gently pull on the  
battery connector to disconnect it.  
pack. At the end of the battery pack’s  
useful life, it must be recycled or dis-  
posed of properly. Contact your local,  
county, or state hazardous waste man-  
agement authorities for information on  
recycling or disposal programs in your  
area. Some options that might be avail-  
able are: municipal curb-side collection,  
drop-off boxes at retailers such as your  
local RadioShack store, recycling collec-  
tion centers, and mail-back programs.  
3. Insert the new battery pack’s con-  
nector into the socket in the com-  
partment, place the battery pack into  
the compartment, and refasten the  
retainer strap.

If you cannot eliminate the interference,  
the FCC requires that you stop using  
your phone.  
THE FCC WANTS YOU TO  
KNOW  
In the unlikely event that your phone  
causes problems on the phone line, the  
phone company can temporarily discon-  
tinue your service. If this happens, the  
phone company attempts to notify you in  
advance. If advance notice is not practi-  
cal, the phone company notifies you as  
soon as possible and advises you of  
your right to file a complaint with the  
FCC.  
Some cordless telephones operate on  
frequencies that might cause interfer-  
ence to nearby TVs and VCRs. To mini-  
mize or prevent such interference, the  
base of the cordless telephone should  
not be placed near or on top of a TV or  
VCR.  
LIGHTNING  
Also, the phone company can make  
changes to its lines, equipment, opera-  
tions, 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 interrup-  
tion of your telephone service.  
Your telephone has built-in lightning pro-  
tection to reduce the risk of damage  
from surges in telephone line and power  
line current. This lightning protection  
meets or exceeds FCC requirements.  
However, lightning striking the tele-  
phone or power lines can damage your  
telephone.  
Your phone might cause TV or radio in-  
terference 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 it. Try to  
eliminate the interference by:  
Lightning damage is not common. Nev-  
ertheless, 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 dam-  
age.  
• 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 RadioShack  
store for help
