instructions.

If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (digital subscriber line - DSL) through your telephone line, you must install a DSL filter between the telephone line cord and the telephone wall jack (page 8). 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 telephone base display - remove it before use.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire or injury to persons or damage to the telephone, read and follow these instructions carefully:

1.Use only alkaline AA batteries (purchased separately).

2.Dispose of these batteries in a safe manner. Do not burn or puncture. Like other batteries of this type, if burned or punctured, they could release caustic material which could cause injury.

3.Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.

4.Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to create a short circuit. Do not allow conductive materials such as rings, bracelets, or keys to touch the battery. The battery or conductor may overheat and cause harm.

5.Use the battery identified for use with this product only in accordance with the instructions and limitations specified in this manual.

6.Observe proper polarity orientation between the battery and metallic contacts.

7.Do not disassemble your telephone. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Refer to qualified service personnel for servicing.

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.

1.Grasp and squeeze as the arrows indicate to open the hinged bracket.

2.Press the battery compartment tabs as shown below. Lift to open the battery compartment cover.

3.Follow the polarity guide markings in the battery compartment

to insert four new alkaline AA batteries (purchased separately).

4.Replace the battery compartment cover. Make sure the cover snaps into place.

Getting started

Battery installation (purchased separately)

5. Rotate the bracket and lock it back as shown below.

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. 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.

Getting started

Telephone installation

If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (digital subscriber line - DSL) through your telephone line, 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.

Follow the steps below to install the telephone.

1.Plug one end of the coiled handset cord into the handset jack on the left side of the telephone base. Plug the other end into the handset and hang up.

3.Lift the handset or press SPEAKER to check for a dial tone.

4.Rotate the top of the display up or down to adjust the angle of the screen for maximum visibility.

Getting started

Installation options

The telephone base comes with the bracket mounted for tabletop use. If you want to mount your telephone on a wall, use the mounting 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. Professional assistance may be required to install the mounting plate.

Tabletop to wall-mount installation

To install the telephone base in the wall-mount position, make sure you first unplug the telephone line cord from the telephone wall jack.

1.Lift the handset and place it aside. Hold down the switch hook on the telephone base, then slide the handset tab upwards to remove it from the slot. Rotate the handset tab 180 degrees. Push the handset tab down into the grooves so it settles into position.
