Important Note: 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-551. 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.  
READ THIS BEFORE  
INSTALLATION  
Each device that you connect to the  
phone line draws power from the  
phone line. We refer to this power draw  
as the device’s ringer equivalence  
number, or REN. The REN is shown  
on the bottom of the 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 phones might not ring. In rural ar-  
eas, a total REN of three might impair  
ringer operation. If ringer operation is  
impaired, remove a device from the  
line.  
WARNING: To reduce the risk of  
fire or shock hazard, do not ex-  
pose this product to rain or mois-  
ture.  
CAUTION  
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.

FCC STATEMENT  
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.  
This telephone complies with Part 68  
of FCC Rules. You must, upon re-  
quest, provide the FCC Registration  
Number and the REN to your phone  
company. These numbers are shown  
on the bottom of the base.  
This symbol is intended to alert you  
to the presence of uninsulated dan-  
gerous voltage within the product’s  
enclosure that might be of sufficient  
magnitude to constitute a risk of  
electric shock. Do not open the  
product’s case.  
Note: You must not connect your  
phone to any of the following:  
• coin-operated systems  
• party-line systems

Insert the antenna into the hole at the  
top of the handset, then rotate the an-  
tenna clockwise until it is secure.  
• Near an AC outlet  
• Near a telephone line jack  
• Out of the way of normal activities  
• Away from electrical machinery,  
electrical appliances, metal walls  
or filing cabinets, wireless inter-  
coms, alarms, and room monitors  
• Away from other cordless phones

Notes:  
• Your telephone connects directly  
to a modular telephone line jack. If  
your phone line jack is not a mod-  
ular jack, you can update the wir-  
ing yourself, using jacks and  
adapters available at your local  
RadioShack store. Or, you can let  
the phone company update the  
wiring for you.  
• The USOC number of the jack to  
be installed is RJ11C (RJ11W if  
you want to mount it on a wall  
plate).

CONNECTING AND  
CHARGING THE  
BATTERY PACK  
The ET-551 comes with a recharge-

fore using your phone, you must  
connect the battery pack then charge  
it for about 24 hours.  
Follow these steps to charge the bat-  
tery pack.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
Your RadioShack ET-551 25-Channel Cordless Phone with 10-Number Memory is  
an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will  
help you care for your cordless phone 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 cir-  
cuit boards and cases and can cause the phone to work improperly.  
Use and store the phone only in normal temperature environments.  
Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices,  
damage batteries, 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 deter-  
gents to clean the phone.  
Modifying or tampering with the phone’s internal components can cause a malfunc-  
tion and might invalidate your phone’s warranty and void your FCC authorization to  
operate it. If your phone is not performing as it should, take it to your local Ra-  
dioShack 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 prob-  
lem.

43-1051.fm Page 19 Tuesday, August 17, 1999 1:08 PM  
2. Gently pull out the battery connec-  
tor to disconnect it, then remove  
the battery pack.  
REPLACING THE  
BATTERY PACK  
If you follow the instructions in “Con-  
necting and Charging the Battery  
Pack” on Page 9, the battery pack  
should last about one year. If the bat-  
tery pack will not hold a charge for  
more than 2 hours after an overnight  
charge, replace it with a new 3.6 V,  
300 mAh battery pack with a connector  
that fits the socket in the battery com-  
partment. You can order a replace-  
ment battery pack through your local  
RadioShack store.  
3. Insert a fresh battery pack and  
insert its connector into the socket  
inside the battery compartment.  
Install the new battery pack as de-  
scribed here, then charge the battery  
pack (see “Connecting and Charging  
the Battery Pack” on Page 9).  
4. Replace the cover.  
Cautions:  
• You must use a replacement bat-  
tery pack of the same size and  
type.  
Note: To avoid losing phone numbers  
stored in memory, try to install and be-  
gin charging the new battery pack  
within about 2 minutes.  
• Do not dispose of the battery pack  
in a fire because it might explode.  
1. Press down and slide off the  
handset’s battery compartment  
cover as shown.  
• Do not open or mutilate the bat-

Important: This phone contains a re-  
chargeable nickel-cadmium battery  
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  
available are: municipal curb-side col-  
lection, drop-off boxes at retailers such  
as your local RadioShack store, recy-  
cling collection centers, and mail-back  
programs.  
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 inter-  
ference.  
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 electri-  
cal circuit from the receiver  
• Contacting  
dioShack store for help  
your  
local  
Ra-  
THE FCC WANTS YOU  
TO KNOW  
If you cannot eliminate the interfer-  
ence, the FCC requires that you stop  
using your phone.  
In the unlikely event that your phone  
causes problems on the phone line,  
the phone company can temporarily  
discontinue your service. If this hap-  
pens, the phone company attempts to  
notify you in advance. If advance no-  
tice is not practical, the phone compa-  
ny notifies you as soon as possible and  
advises you of your right to file a com-  
plaint with the FCC.  
Some cordless phones operate at fre-  
quencies that might cause interference  
to nearby TVs and VCRs. To minimize  
or prevent such interference, the base  
of the cordless phone should not be  
placed near or on top of a TV or VCR.  
Also, the phone company can make  
changes to its lines, equipment, opera-  
tions, or procedures that could affect  
the operation of this telephone. The  
telephone company notifies you of  
these changes in advance, so you can  
take the necessary steps to prevent in-  
terruption of your telephone service.

LIGHTNING  
Your telephone has built-in lightning  
protection to reduce the risk of damage  
from surges in telephone line and pow-  
er line current. This lightning protection  
meets or exceeds FCC requirements.  
However, lightning striking the tele-  
phone 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 sug-  
gest you unplug your phone during  
storms to reduce the possibility of  
damage.
