Installing and Replacing the Batteries
Your Caller ID phone uses 4 AA-size alkaline batteries for receiving and storing Caller ID
records and for storing the numbers you use for memory dialing, pulse dialing, and redial.
IMPORTANT: You will have approximately 90 seconds to replace
the batteries before the memories stored are lost. Please read the
instructions before replacing the batteries and have the batteries
ready to be inserted beforehand.
IMPORTANT: If you are not going to use the telephone for more than
30 days, remove the batteries because they may leak and damage the
unit.
1. If the telephone line cord is connected, disconnect it
from the base unit.
2. Release latch on battery compartments and remove
cover.
3. Insert 4 AA-size alkaline batteries as shown on the
diagram in the battery compartments.
4. Snap the battery compartment doors back into place
and replace the mounting bracket.
5. If the line cord was previously connected, re-attach it
to the unit and check your memory locations.
NOTE: If the low battery icon appears in the display, you need to
replace the batteries. It is important that you replace the batteries as
soon as possible in order to maintain Caller ID operation.
