CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Your RadioShack ET-1118 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-1118 so you can enjoy it for years.

Keep the ET-1118 dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids
might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.

Use and store the ET-1118 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-1118 away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature
wear of parts.

Handle the ET-1118 gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit
boards and cases and can cause the ET-1118 to work improperly.

Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.
Batteries can leak chemicals that damage your ET-1118’s electronic
parts.

Wipe the ET-1118 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-1118.

Modifying or tampering with the ET-1118’s internal components can cause a mal-
function and might invalidate its warranty and void your FCC authorization to oper-
ate it. If your ET-1118 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 compa-
ny can ask you to disconnect your ET-1118 until you have resolved the problem.
