Before using the telephone, you should install the four AA alkaline batteries
supplied to provide memory backup and enable the use of some features. The
four AA batteries are required for the following features to work: speakerphone,
hold, mute, recall, Calling Number Display, screen display, feature options
menu, phonebook, clock, and the CALL INFO light.
If you unplug the telephone from the wall jack, or you lose telephone service
for a few minutes, and working batteries are not installed, the following
information is lost: call list, numbers stored in the phonebook, redial list, and
all settings in the feature menu. We recommend that you change the batteries
soon after the low battery icon
appears.
CAUTION: Always unplug the telephone line cord before installing new
batteries.
Press down on the battery
compartment cover tabs as shown,
and pull to open the battery
compartment cover.

NOTES:
If there are no batteries installed and the telephone is plugged into a
telephone wall jack, the screen display operates using the power from the
telephone line when you lift the handset. When operating in this mode, the
screen display may be dimmer than usual.
If no batteries are installed, calls can only be made or answered using
the handset. However, you can switch the call to speakerphone mode by
pressing
SPEAKER while it is in progress.
