For your records, we recommend
you record the phone’s serial number
in the space below. The number is on
the base’s label.

Serial Number:

Warning: To prevent fire or shock
hazard, do not expose this product to
rain or moisture.

This symbol is intended to alert
you to the presence of uninsulat-
ed dangerous voltage within the
product’s enclosure that might be
of sufficient magnitude to consti-
tute a risk of electric shock. Do not
open the product’s case.

This symbol is intended to inform
you that important operating and
maintenance instructions are in-
cluded in the literature accompa-
nying this product.

READ THIS BEFORE 
INSTALLATION

Your telephone conforms to federal
regulations, and you can connect it to
most telephone lines. However, each
device you connect to the phone line
draws power from the phone line. We
refer to this power draw as the de-
vice’s ringer equivalence number, or
REN. The REN is on the label on the
phone base’s back.

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 ru-
ral areas, a total REN of three might
impair ringer operation. If ringer op-
eration is impaired, remove a device
from the line

Important: Cordless phones such as
this one require AC power to operate.
When AC power is off, you cannot
dial out or receive incoming calls us-
ing your ET-905. For this reason, the
ET-905 should not be your only tele-
phone. To be safe, you should also
have a phone that draws its power
from the telephone line (not a cord-
less phone) so you can still make and
receive calls if there is an AC power
failure.

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.

CAUTION
