Getting started

Battery installation

Before using the telephone, install four good AA alkaline batteries (not included) to provide memory backup, and to enable features such as caller ID and the IN USE light. If good batteries are not installed, the display only works when you lift the handset. When operating in this mode, the display may be dimmer than usual.

If you unplug the telephone from the telephone 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 one-touch and speed dial memory, last number redial, and all settings in the feature menu. It is recommended that you install new batteries soon after the low battery icon appears.
