Getting started
Battery installation
Before using the telephone, you should install four new AA alkaline batteries (not
included) to provide memory backup and enable the use of some features. The four AA
batteries are required for the following features to work: speakerphone, mute, flash,
caller ID, display, menu, directory, redial, clock, and the
INCOMING CALL
light.
If you unplug the telephone line cord from the telephone wall jack when there
are no working batteries installed, the following information will be lost: caller ID
history, directory entries, speed dial entries, and all settings in the feature menu. We
recommend you install new batteries before initial use and change the batteries soon
after the low battery icon
appears.
CAUTION
: Always unplug the telephone line cord before installing new batteries.
1. Pull the tabs as the arrows indicated below to open the battery compartment cover.
2. Follow the polarity guide markings in the battery compartment to insert four new
alkaline AA batteries (purchased separately).
3. Replace the battery compartment cover. Make sure the cover snaps into place.
