INSTALLATION
FOLLOW THESE PRECAUTIONS BEFORE INSTALLA-
TION:
1. Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
2. Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is
specifically designed for wet locations.
3. Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the
incoming telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface.
4. Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
TO INSTALL BATTERIES
a Open the battery door with a ball-point pen.
NOTE: You must install the batteries BEFORE connecting the
telephone to the wall jack. If no batteries are installed, the telephone
and Caller ID functions of the phone will not work.
b Insert 3 AA alkaline batteries (not included).
Make sure to install the batteries using the correct polarity (i.e. the
“+” symbol on the battery aligns with the “+” symbol on the unit).
“SET LANGUAGE” will appear on the display screen.
c Replace the battery door.
Once battery power has been sufficiently drained, the BATTERY LOW
icon (
) will appear on the LCD display. Replace the AA batteries
with three (3) fresh ones, and keep the line cord plugged in between the
phone and wall outlet in order to maintain the Caller ID and Speed Dialing
memories. If you do not install fresh batteries within 2 minutes, your
Caller ID and telephone memory information may be lost.

BASE, thread it through the groove toward the back of the unit, then
plug it into the modular wall jack.
