To Install Three AAA Batteries
Three AAA batteries (not included) are required to
maintain your personalized greeting and recorded
messages during a power failure. If there is a power
failure and the batteries are not installed, both your
personalized greeting and recorded messages will be
lost.
1. Using a small Philips type screwdriver, remove the
screw located in the battery compartment on the
bottom of the base and lift the battery compartment
door (Fig A).
2. Install three AAA batteries. (Fig B)
3. Replace battery compartment door, and replace
screw.
Note: Install replacement batteries once a year to insure
proper operation of the power failure protection feature.
The batteries status is indicated by the BATT. LOW
indicator. If three fresh batteries are installed, the LED
indicator stays off, when the unit is in the ANSWER ON
mode. If the batteries are low/not installed, the indicator
will flash.
To Connect the AC Adaptor
Connect the AC adaptor into the back of the unit. Plug
the other end into the AC wall power outlet (Fig C). Do
not attach (staple, etc.) the AC Adaptor cord to the
building wall.
