Battery installation (purchased separately)
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, mute, flash, caller ID features, display, menu, directory, clock,
audio assist and the IN USE light.
If you unplug the telephone from the wall jack, or you lose telephone service
for over eight minutes, and good batteries are not installed, the following
information is lost: call history, numbers stored the directory, redial, 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.

You can use this telephone without batteries installed. If you do so, the
telephone works only to make and answer calls with the handset, adjust
volume (ringer or handset volume) or use the last number redial feature.
NOTES:
Use disposable alkaline AA batteries only. Do not use rechargeable batteries.
•
If you do not use the telephone for a long time, disconnect and remove the
•
batteries from the telephone to prevent possible leakage.
Always unplug the telephone line cord before installing new batteries.
•
After you replace the batteries with new ones, the clock in the telephone
•
resets. Manually set the clock again.
If there are no batteries installed and the telephone is plugged into a
•
telephone wall jack, when you lift the handset the screen display works
using the power from the telephone line. For more details about the line
power, contact your telephone service provider.

Telephone installation
If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (digital subscriber line - DSL)

provider for more information about DSL filters.
Follow the steps below to install the telephone.
