This telephone requires four AA batteries (not included) in order for the caller ID with 
call waiting, memory, and new call light to work. For best results, use alkaline or heavy 

duty batteries. 

 

1.  Press on the tab to open the cover of the 

battery compartment. 

2.  Install four new AA batteries (not included) 

in the battery compartment according to 

the diagrams engraved in the 
compartment.  

3.  Close the battery compartment cover and 

make sure it is secured. 

 

•  When the batteries are installed, the 

screen will show 12:00 and the clock will 

begin to run. It will reset to the correct 
time when the first caller ID data is 

received.  

•  Always disconnect all telephone lines from 

the wall outlets before replacing batteries. 

•  Install new batteries every six months to 

maintain the call log and telephone 
memory. 

•  Do not mix old and new batteries and  

•  Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) batteries. 

•  Information,

 

including caller ID, Speed dialing memories, redial, and settings will be 

maintained for about 10 minutes during battery replacement. Numbers stored in 

memory will be lost if the telephone is unplugged from the jack for over 2.5 hours 
when there are no charged batteries installed. Please change the batteries soon 

after the Low Battery icon (       ) appears.
