INSTALLING THE
BATTERIES
Your phone requires three AAA
batteries (not supplied) for power.
For the best performance and
longest life, we recommend Ra-
dioShack alkaline batteries.
Cautions:
• Use only fresh batteries of the
required size and recom-
mended type.
• Do not mix old and new bat-
teries or different types of bat-
teries (standard or alkaline).
Follow these steps to install bat-
teries.
1. Use a Phillips screwdriver to
loosen the screw on the bat-
tery compartment cover, then
use a flat screwdriver to pry
off the cover.
2. Place the batteries in the
compartment, as indicated by
the polarity symbols (+ and –)
marked inside.
3. Replace the cover.
When you press any of the
phone’s buttons or the phone re-
ceives a call, appears. If
appears or the display is
blank when you press a key or re-
ceive a call, or if the phone stops
operating properly, replace the
batteries.
Warning:
Dispose of old batteries
promptly and properly. Do not
burn or bury them.
Caution:
If you do not plan to use
the phone for a month or more,
remove the batteries. Batteries
can leak chemicals that can de-
stroy electronic parts.
Note:
The phone still rings when
you receive a call, even if the bat-
tery power is low or you have not
installed batteries. However, you
cannot answer the call without
sufficient battery power.
CONNECTING TO THE
PHONE LINE
Your telephone connects directly
to a modular phone line jack. If
your phone line jack is not a mod-
ular jack, you can update the wir-
ing yourself, using jacks and
adapters available from your local
