Installation

dentally press a button, unplug the adapter from the AC
outlet, then plug it back in.

• The answering system cannot operate without AC power.

However, you can make and answer calls on the telephone
without AC power.

INSTALLING THE BACKUP BATTERY

If AC power fails or you unplug the system, you need one 9V al-
kaline backup battery (not supplied) to save the answering sys-
tem’s messages and settings for the day and time. For the best
performance and longest life, we recommend you use a Ra-
dioShack alkaline battery.

Caution: Use only a fresh battery of the required size and rec-
ommended type.

Follow these steps to install the battery.

1. Use a flat-blade screwdriver to lift up the battery compart-

ment’s cover, then remove the cover.
