Installation preparation
If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (digital subscriber
line - DSL) through your telephone lines, you must install a DSL
filter between the telephone line cord and the telephone wall jack.
The filter prevents noise and caller ID problems caused by DSL
interference. Please contact your DSL service provider for more
information about DSL filters.
Your product may be shipped with a protective sticker covering the
handset or telephone base display - remove it before use.
Make sure to install four
AA alkaline batteries
(not included) before
using the telephone.
See page 6 for easy
instructions.

Battery installation
Before using the telephone, you should install four good AA
alkaline batteries (not included) to provide memory backup
and enable the use of some features. The four AA batteries are
required for caller ID features and the IN USE light to work. If
good batteries are not installed, the display only works when you
lift the handset.
If you unplug the telephone from the telephone wall jack, or you
lose telephone service for over 10 minutes, and good batteries are
not installed, the following information is lost: call list, numbers
stored in one-touch and two-touch memory, redial list, and all
settings in the feature menu. It is recommended that you install
new batteries soon after the low battery icon appears.
Follow the steps below to install the batteries:
Press on the tab and lift to open the cover of the battery
compartment.
1.
Lift this
tab to
open.
Press this
tab to
release.

Getting started
3. Close the battery
compartment cover. Make
sure it clicks into place.
NOTE:
Do not mix old and new batteries and do not mix alkaline and standard
(carbon-zinc) batteries.
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. If you wish to set the date and time manually, see Time and date on
page 17.
Always disconnect all telephone lines from the telephone wall jack before
replacing batteries.
Install new batteries every six months to maintain the call log and telephone
memory.
