INSTALLING BACKUP
BATTERIES
Your phone requires four AA batteries
(not supplied) to protect its memory. We
recommend you use Radio Shack alka-
line batteries.
Cautions:
• Use only fresh batteries of the
required size and type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries,
different types of batteries (stan-
dard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or
rechargeable batteries of different
capacities.
• Never leave dead or weak batteries
in the phone.
• Dispose of old batteries promptly;
do not bury or burn them.
Follow these steps to install batteries.
1. If the desk top stand is connected,
remove it by pressing the two tabs
on the stand then lifting it off.
2. Using a flat-bladed screwdriver,
remove the battery compartment
cover’s screw on the bottom of the
system and remove the cover.
3. Place four AA batteries in the bat-
tery compartment as indicated by
the polarity symbols (+ and –)
marked inside.
4. Replace the cover and secure it with
the screw.
The telephone automatically tests the
batteries each time it receives a call. If
(batt icon) appears on the display or the
display dims, replace the batteries.
