INSTALLING THE BACKUP BATTERIES

The System 212 requires AC power to operate. However, if AC power fails or you unplug the speakerphone, the three

AAAbackup batteries (not supplied) save stored information. We recom- mend you use alkaline batteries, such as RadioShack Cat. No. 23-555.

Cautions:

Always use fresh batteries of the re- quired size and type.

Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries (stan- dard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of different capacities.

Disconnect the System 212 from the phone line(s) before replacing the backup batteries.

Notes:

To avoid losing stored information when replacing the batteries, leave the AC adapter plugged in, and have fresh batteries ready to install before removing the old ones.

Replace the batteries when BATT appears.

1.Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the screw from the battery compart- ment cover, then remove the cover.

2.Install three AAA batteries (two in the lower slot and one in the upper) as indicated by the polarity symbols

(+ and –) marked inside the battery compartment.

3. Replace the cover and the screw.

Cautions:

Always remove old or weak batter- ies. Batteries can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.

Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly.

SELECTING A LOCATION

You can place the Speakerphone on a on a desk top, shelf, or table, or mount it on a wall. Select a location that is:

near an AC outlet

near the desired telephone line jack(s)

out of the way of normal activities
