ET3228 Big Button Phone with Emergency Memory  
OWNER’S MANUAL — Please read before using this equipment.  
Your RadioShack Big Button Phone lets you  
store telephone numbers in memory to make  
dialing frequently called numbers quick and  
easy. Its features include:  
vice's ringer equivalence number, or REN on  
the bottom of your telephone.  
If you use more than one phone or other de-  
vice on the line, add up all of the RENs. If the  
total is more than five (three in rural areas),  
your telephones might not ring. If ringer oper-  
ation is impaired, remove a device from the  
line.  
Big Button Lighted Keypad — the button  
keypad lights when the handset is off hook.  
Ring Indicator — a lighted bar signals an in-  
coming call, even if the ringer is turned off.  
In the unlikely event that your phone causes  
problems on the phone line, the phone com-  
pany can temporarily discontinue your ser-  
vice. If this happens, the phone company  
attempts to notify you in advance. If advance  
notice is not practical, the phone company  
notifies you as soon as possible and advises  
you of your right to file a complaint with the  
FCC.  
3 Emergency Icons — lets you dial emer-  
gency service numbers with the touch of a  
button.  
10 Indirect Memory Locations — gives you  
easy dialing for frequently dialed numbers.  
Adjustable Volume — separate controls let  
you adjust the ringer and handset receiver  
volume to the desired level.  
Also, the phone company can make changes  
to its lines, equipment, operations, or proce-  
dures 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 interrup-  
tion of your telephone service.  
Multi-Pitch Control — lets you choose from  
3 different ringer tones.  
Your telephone is ETL listed to UL standards  
and meets all applicable FCC requirements.  
FCC STATEMENT  
Note: You must not connect your telephone  
to:  
Your telephone complies with Part 68 of FCC  
Rules. You must, upon request, provide the  
FCC registration number and the REN to  
your telephone company. Both numbers are  
shown on the bottom of the telephone.  
• Coin-operated systems  
• Party-line systems  
• Most electronic key telephone systems  
We have designed your telephone to con-  
form to federal regulations, and you can con-  
nect it to most telephone lines. However,  
each device, such as a telephone or answer-  
ing machine, that you connect to the tele-  
phone line draws power from the telephone  
line. We refer to this power draw as the de-

2. Plug one end of the supplied short modu-  
lar cord into the LINE jack at the back of  
the base. Route the modular cord through  
the strain relief channel.  
Setting the Ringer  
If you do not want to hear the phone ring, set  
RINGER to OFF. You can still make calls with  
the ringer off, and you can answer calls if you  
hear another phone on the same phone line  
ring. The bar-shaped ring indicator flashes  
when the phone rings, even when the ringer is  
off. If you want to hear the phone ring, set  
RINGER to HI or LO.  
3. Plug the cord’s other end into the wall  
plate jack, then align the base’s keyhole  
slots with the wall plate studs and slide  
the phone downward to secure it.  
4. Press and lift up the handset holder,  
rotate it 180°, then snap it back so it holds  
the handset.  
Setting the Dialing Mode  
Set the TONE/PULSE switch on the back of the  
phone for the type of service you have. If you  
are not sure which type you have, do this sim-  
ple test.  
To mount the phone directly on a wall, in addi-  
tion to the preceding steps, you need two  
screws (not supplied) with heads that fit into  
the keyhole slots on the bottom of the base.  
1. Set TONE/PULSE to TONE. Lift the hand-

Then thread a screw into each hole, letting the  
heads extend about /16 inches (8mm) from

for example) before you dial an outside

the wall.  
Substitute the long modular cord for the short  
cord mentioned in step 2.  
Connecting the Handset  
If the dial tone stops, you have touch-  
tone service. Leave the setting to TONE.  
Plug one end of the coiled cord into the modu-  
lar jack on the handset. Then connect it to the  
jack on the left side of the telephone base.  
If the dial tone continues, you have pulse  
service. Set TONE/PULSE to PULSE.  
Note: Your local RadioShack store sells a va-  
riety of longer coiled handset cords, which are  
especially useful when you mount the phone  
on a wall.  
Using Special Tone Services  
Some computer services, such as alternate  
long distance and bank-by-phone, require  
tone signals for communications.  
Using Handset Volume Control  
If you have pulse service, you can still use  
special tone service by following these steps.  
Use the handset’s rotary control to adjust the  
handset volume to the desired level.  
1. Connect to the special service using  
pulse dialing.

AL/PAUSE again.  
Storing a Number in Memory  
OPERATION  
The telephone can store up to 13 phone num-  
bers in memory (3 emergency numbers, and  
10 standard memory numbers).  
Using Redial  
You can quickly dial the last number dialed by  
pressing REDIAL/PAUSE when you hear a dial  
tone. The redial memory holds up to 32 digits,  
to store long distance as well as local number.  
The number in redial memory is replaced  
each time you dial a new number.  
1. With the handset off hook, press STORE.  
2. Enter the number to be stored.  
3. Press STORE again.  
Note: If you press FLASH while dialing a num-  
ber, only the digits entered after pressing  
FLASH are stored in redial memory.  
4. Enter the desired memory location for the  
number. To store the number in an emer-  
gency memory location, press an emer-  
gency memory icon (ambulance, fire  
department, police). To store the number  
in a standard memory location, press a  
number key (0-9).  
Using Flash  
Many special telephone services, such as Call  
Waiting, require a switchhook signal. The  
FLASH button provides the electronic equiva-  
lent of a switchhook operation.  
Notes:  
• Since pressing STORE does not break the  
dial tone, the phone company “line alert”  
signal may occur when entering longer  
numbers. This does not affect number  
storage.  
For example, if you have Call Waiting, you  
can put a call on hold and take a second in-  
coming call on the same line by pressing  
FLASH.  
To replace a number in one of the mem-  
ory locations repeat steps 1 through 4.  
During step 2, enter the new number in  
any memory location you wish to change.  
Only the digits you dial after you press FLASH  
are stored in redial memory.  
Note: If you do not have any special phone  
services requiring a switchhook signal, press-  
ing FLASH might disconnect the current call.  
Dialing a Stored Number  
To dial a number stored in an emergency  
memory location, press that emergency icon.  
Using Pause  
In some telephone systems, you must dial an  
access code (9, for example) and wait for a  
second dial tone before dialing an outside  
number. When you manually dial a number, or  
when you store a number in memory, you can  
have your telephone pause anywhere during  
the dialing sequence. Press REDIAL/PAUSE at  
the desired location.  
To dial a number stored in a standard memory  
location, press MEMORY, then press the de-  
sired memory key (0-9).  
If you stored an emergency service’s number  
(police, fire department, ambulance) and you  
want to test the stored number, make the test  
call during late evening or early morning hours  
to avoid peak demand periods. Remain on the  
line to explain the reason for your call.  
When you redial or memory dial a number, the  
telephone pauses for about 2 seconds at the

Chain-Dialing Memory Numbers  
Care  
If you frequently use special telephone servic-  
es, you can save time by storing the phone  
number of the service in one memory location  
and the rest of the information, such as a long  
distance number, in another memory location.  
Keep the telephone dry; if it gets wet, wipe it  
dry immediately. Use and store the telephone  
only in normal temperature environments.  
Handle the telephone carefully; do not drop it.  
Keep the telephone away from dust and dirt,  
and wipe it with a damp cloth occasionally to  
keep it looking new.  
To chain-dial, enter the memory location of  
the service number first. Then when the ser-  
vice answers, enter the memory location for  
the other information.  
Modifying or tampering with the

TROUBLESHOOTING  
If your telephone is not operating properly, go  
through this checklist.  
Is the phone properly connected?  
Is the TONE/PULSE switch set correctly?  
If the telephone’s volume level drops or it be-  
gins to make strange sounds, determine if  
other phones have been picked up on the  
same line. This phone might not operate when  
other phones are active on the same line (es-  
pecially in areas with low telephone voltage).  
Hang up the other phones to correct the prob-  
lem.  
If other telephone devices have been added  
at or about the time the phone’s performance  
diminished, recalculate the REN (see “FCC  
Statement” on Page 1).  
If you still have problems, disconnect the  
phone. If other phones on the same line work  
properly, the fault is in this phone or its instal-  
lation. If you cannot find the problem, take  
your phone to your local RadioShack store for  
assistance.
