ACKUP

Installation of an optional 9V battery
enables the phone to work normally in the
event of a power loss. Without the battery
backup:

• The phone will not operate for incoming

calls.

• You must use the handset; the phone

automatically defaults to Line 1.

With or without the battery backup, phone
numbers stored in memory are not lost
during a power outage.

NOTE:

In order to maximize battery

operation, we recommend that you use the
handset rather than the speakerphone
during a loss of power.
