INSTALLATION
Battery Installation
This telephone requires four AA batteries (not included) in order for the caller
ID with call waiting, memory, and new call light to work. For best results, use
alkaline or heavy duty batteries.
1. Press on the tab to open the cover of
the battery compartment.
2. Install four new AA batteries (not
included) in the battery compartment
according to the diagrams engraved in
the compartment.
3. Close the battery compartment cover
and 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 memory will be lost if the telephone is
unplugged from the jack for over 10 minutes when there are no charged
batteries installed. Please change the batteries soon after the Low Battery
icon ( ) appears.
