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.
