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.
CAUTION: Unit will not work if electrical power fails
and batteries are depleted or not installed. Therefore
it is important that you replace them when “REPLACE
BATTERY” shows in display in order to maintain unit
operation. As a precaution, you may want to write
down any stored information you do not want erased.
• Open the battery compartment door located on
the bottom of the phone by inserting a flathead
screw driver into the battery door latch area and
gently tilting the screw driver away from the
battery door to release the latch.
• Insert the batteries as shown on the diagram
inside the battery compartment.
• Snap the battery compartment door back into
place.
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: To reduce risk of personal injury, fire, or
damage use only the 5-2719 power adaptor listed in
the user’s guide. This power adaptor is intended to
be correctly orientated in a vertical or floor mount
position.
