This telephone has a caller ID feature that supports caller ID with call waiting service. (Caller ID services are subscriber services available from your telephone service providers for a fee.)

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 features, 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 over 10 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.

1. Press down on the battery compartment cover tabs as shown and pull to open the battery compartment cover.

2. Insert four AA alkaline batteries (not included) following the polarity markings in the battery compartment.

3. Close the battery compartment 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.

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 (digital subscriber line - DSL) 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.

Tabletop installation

Follow instructions below to install your telephone to tabletop position.

1. Check the mounting bracket.

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

2. Connect one end of the long telephone line cord to the jack labeled TEL on the back of the telephone.

5. Check for dial tone.

Lift the handset and listen for a dial tone. If you cannot hear a dial tone, press VOLUME . If you still do not hear a dial tone, see the Troubleshooting section on pages 30-31 of this manual.

Your telephone will work immediately after installation using the default feature settings (see default settings in Feature summary on page 14).

NOTE: If you subscribe to caller ID services from your telephone service provider, you must follow the instructions in Set home area code (see page 11), for your telephone to properly recognize and dial calls from the call history list. You may also need to check Set local area code (see page 12) if you want the telephone to recognize multiple area codes.
