Getting started

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 the following features to work: speakerphone, hold, mute, flash, caller ID, screen display, feature options menu, directory, clock, and the CALL INFO light.

If you unplug the telephone from the wall jack, or you lose telephone service for a few minutes, and good batteries are not installed, the following information is lost: call list, numbers stored in the directory, redial list, and all settings in the feature menu. We recommend that you initially install new batteries and change the batteries soon after the low battery icon appears.

CAUTION: Always unplug the telephone line cord before installing new batteries.

Press down on the battery

3. cover as shown, making sure the cover snaps into place.

NOTE: If there are no batteries installed and the telephone is plugged into a telephone wall jack, the screen display operates using the power from the telephone line when you lift the handset. When operating in this mode, the screen display may be dimmer than usual.

Getting started

Installation options

The telephone base comes with the mounting bracket already installed for tabletop use. If you want to mount your telephone on a wall, use the provided wall bracket to connect with a standard dual stud telephone wall mounting plate. If you do not have this mounting plate, you can purchase one from many hardware or consumer electronic retailers. You might need a professional to install the mounting plate.

If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (DSL - digital subscriber line) through your telephone line, you must install a DSL filter (not included) 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.

Check the mounting bracket.

The telephone’s mounting bracket is positioned for tabletop use. Make sure it is secure by pressing the two feet.
