Battery Installation
1. Insert a ball point pen into the hole
located in the battery compartment door
(on the bottom of the base). This will
loosen the door, and you should lift the
battery compartment door.
2. Install one 9V Alkaline battery. One 9
volt battery (not included) is required to
maintain your personalized greeting and
recorded messages during a power failure.
If there is a power failure and the battery
is not installed, both your personalized
greeting and recorded messages will be lost.
NOTE: You must install 9 volt battery
in order for the Caller ID and Telephone
operation to function properly.
3. Replace battery compartment door and
snap into place.
Note: After installing a 9V battery,
system displays "SET
LANGUAGE ". Your FM2575
enters setting mode. (See Setting Up
Your FM2575 section for details.)
Replace a new 9V alkaline battery
when the Battery Low Indicator
(BATTERY LOW ICON) appears on the
LCD display. The battery level is indicated
by the presence of the battery indicator
during normal operation. If the 9 Volt
battery is low or has been installed
incorrectly, the battery low indicator will
appear on the LCD display. (Fig. B)
