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 caller ID features and the IN USE light to
work. If good batteries are not installed, the display only works when you lift the
handset.
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 one-touch and speed dial memory, last
number redial and all settings in the feature menu. It is recommended that you
initially install new batteries and change the batteries soon after the low battery
icon
appears.
Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix alkaline and standard (carbon-
zinc) batteries.
After you replace the batteries, the clock needs to be reset. See Set time/date
on page 14 to set the clock again.
Always disconnect the telephone line from the wall jack before replacing batteries.
Install new batteries every six months to maintain the call log and telephone
memory.
If there are no batteries installed and the telephone is plugged into a telephone
wall jack, the screen display operates using power from the telephone line when
you lift the handset. When operating in this mode, the screen display may be
dimmer than usual.
