Getting started
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 telephone wall jack, or you lose telephone
service for few 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.

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.

•
resets. Follow Set date and time on page 17 to 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.
