duty batteries.

battery compartment.
2. Install four new AA batteries (not included)

the diagrams engraved in the
compartment.

make sure it is secured.
NOTES:
• When the batteries are installed, the
screen will show 12:00 and the clock will
begin to run. It will reset to the correct
time when the first caller ID data is
received.
• Always disconnect all telephone lines from
the wall outlets before replacing batteries.
• Install new batteries every six months to
maintain the call log and telephone
memory.
• Do not mix old and new batteries and
• Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) batteries.
• Information, including caller ID, Speed dialing memories, redial, and settings will be
maintained for about 10 minutes during battery replacement. Numbers stored in

when there are no charged batteries installed. Please change the batteries soon
