Installing the Phone
The phone may be connected by a single two-line cable or two single line cables.
1. Choose an area near an electrical outlet and a telephone wall jack (RJ11C), and place your cordless telephone
on a level surface, such as a desktop or tabletop, or you may mount it on the wall.
2. Install 5 AAA-size alkaline batteries (not included) for back up power in the event of a power failure.
• Insert a flat-head screwdriver or similar object into the battery door latch and gently pry upward to
release the battery door from the base.
• Insert the batteries inside the battery compartment as shown on the diagram.
• •Snap the battery compartment door back into place.
NOTE: If the low battery icon appears in the display, you need to replace the batteries. It is impor-
tant that you replace them as soon as possible to maintain unit operation when electrical power is
o. As a precaution, you may want to write down any stored information you do not want erased.
IMPORTANT: If you are not going to use the telephone for more than 30 days, remove the batteries
because they can leak and damage the unit.

orientated in a vertical or floor mount position.
