If You Have Problems

If your ET-282 is not operating properly, we suggest that you go through 
this checklist before bringing your unit to Radio Shack.  You might be able
to solve the problem on your own and save yourself both time and 
inconvenience. 

1.  Is the unit properly connected?

2.  Is the TONE/PULSE switch set correctly?

3. Is the NORM/PROG switch set to NORM?

4.  Have other phones on the same line been picked up?

In areas of low telephone voltage, the unit might get interference or might
not operate if other phones are active on the same line.  Hanging up the 
other phones should correct the problem.

If You Still Have Problems

Disconnect the unit immediately!  If other phones on the same line function
properly, the problem is in the unit or its installation.  If you are
unable to locate the problem, bring the unit to your local Radio Shack
store for assistance.

Lightning

Your ET-282 has built-in protection circuits to reduce the risk of damage
from surges in telephone line current.  These circuits meet or exceed FCC
requirements.  However, lightning striking near or on the line can cause an
excessive surge of voltage that can damage the phone.

Lightning damage is uncommon.  But, if you are concerned about it or live 
in an area with frequent and/or severe electrical storms, we suggest that
you unplug your electronic products during the storms.
