IMPORTANT: 

You will have approximately 60 seconds to replace the batteries before the 

memories stored in the handset are lost. Please read the instructions before replacing 
the batteries and have the batteries ready to be inserted beforehand. As a precaution, 
you may want to write down any stored information you do not want erased.

Your Caller ID phone uses 3 AA-size alkaline batteries for receiving and storing 
Caller ID records and for the numbers you use for memory dialing.

If both the straight and coiled line cords are already connected, disconnect them 
from the base unit. Place the handset aside.
Use a ballpoint pen or other tool to open the battery compartment door.
Insert 3 AA-size alkaline batteries (not included) as shown on the diagram inside 
the compartment.
Replace the battery compartment door.
Re-attach the line cords to the unit and check your memory locations. If 
installation takes longer than 60 seconds, you should re-set your memory 
locations.

IMPORTANT: 

If you’re not going to use the telephone for more than 30 days, remove 

the batteries because they can leak and damage the unit.
