Your Radio Shack ET-501 Cordless Telephone offers the latest advances in
cordless phone technology.

It includes the following features:

Automatic Security Access - changes each time you return the handset to the
Code                        base to help prevent other cordless phone users
                            from using your phone line while the handset is
                            off the base.

                  COM-LOK - ensures that other cordless phone users cannot
                            use your phone line while the handset is on the
                            cradle.

                    Flash - sends an electronic switchhook signal for use
                            with special phone services such as call
                            waiting.

      Touch Tone or Pulse - lets you connect your phone to either type of
      (Rotary) Dialing      service.

                   Redial - dials the last number dialed with the touch of
                            a button.

            Paging System - lets you signal the handset from the base, so
                            you can page someone at the handset or locate
                            the handset if you misplace it.

Hearing-Aid Compatibility - lets you use your phone with hearing aids that
                            have a T (telephone) switch.

This telephone has been tested and found to comply with all applicable UL
standards.

Your ET-501 Cordless Telephone operates on standard radio frequencies, as
allocated by the FCC.  Therefore, it is possible for other radio units
operating on similar frequencies, within a certain area, to inadvertently
intercept your conversations and/or cause interference on your cordless
telephone.  This lack of privacy can occur with any cordless telephone.

However, your  ET-501 is available in three different factory-set
frequencies.  If you have problems with interference, you can exchange your 
phone during the phone's warranty period for one that uses a different
frequency.

READ THIS BEFORE INSTALLATION

We have designed your telephone to conform to federal regulations, and you
can connect it to most telephone lines.  However, 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 your phone.

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 phone might not ring.
In rural areas, a total REN of three might impair ringer operation.

If ringer operation is impaired, disconnect one of the devices from the
line or contact your phone company for information about boosting the
ringer power on the line.
