Installing the Phone
1. Choose an area near an electrical outlet and
telephone wall jack. Your phone should be placed
on a level surface, such as a table top or desk.
2. Install 4 AAA-size alkaline batteries (not
included) for back up power in the event of a
power failure.
• Use a tool to press the lock and then open
the battery compartment door located on the
bottom of the phone.
• Insert the batteries as shown on the diagram
inside the battery compartment.
• Snap the battery compartment door back into
place.
NOTE: If REPLACE BATTERY appears in the display, you need
to replace the batteries. It is important that you replace
them as soon as possible to maintain unit operation when
electrical power is off. As a precaution, you may want to
write down any stored information you do not want erased.
IMPORTANT: If you are not going to use the telephone for
more than 30 days, remove the batteries because they can
leak and damage the unit.
3. Connect the AC power adaptor to an electrical
outlet and the DC connector to the back of the
base.
CAUTION: Use only the Thomson Inc. 5-2719 power
adaptor that came with this unit. Using other power
adaptors may damage the unit. This power adaptor
is intended to be correctly orientated in a vertical or
floor mount position.
4. Connect the telephone line cords:
