Installing the Backup Batteries
If there is a power outage, the
XL-40 will operate for up to 48
hours with four AA alkaline
backup batteries (not included). If
the phone is not in use, the
batteries may last for several months.
To install new batteries:
1. Slide open the battery
compartment cover on the
bottom of the telephone
(Figure 3).
2. Install four fresh batteries. Be
sure to observe battery polarity
as imprinted on the base of
the compartment. The battery
indicator on the top panel
will light up if the batteries
are running low.
The phone operates as a regular
phone if there is no power or battery.
XL-40 Low Battery Indicator Light
If the batteries are weak or not
installed, the Low Battery indicator
will light up. Install fresh batteries
according to the directions above.
