Battery installationBefore using the telephone, you should install four good AA alkaline batteries (not included) to provide memory backup and enable the use of some features. The four AA batteries are required for caller ID features and the IN USE light to work. If good batteries are not installed, the display only works when you lift the handset.

If you unplug the telephone from the wall jack, or you lose telephone service for over 10 minutes, and good batteries are not installed, the following information is lost: call list, numbers stored in the one-touch and speed dial memory, last number redial and all settings in the feature menu. It is recommended that you initially install new batteries and change the batteries soon after the low battery icon LOW appears.

Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix alkaline and standard (carbon-zinc) batteries.After you replace the batteries, the clock needs to be reset. See Set time/date on page 14 to set the clock again.Always disconnect the telephone line from the wall jack before replacing batteries.Install new batteries every six months to maintain the call log and telephone memory.If there are no batteries installed and the telephone is plugged into a telephone wall jack, the screen display operates using power from the telephone line when you lift the handset. When operating in this mode, the screen display may be dimmer than usual.

Caller ID informationInformation about caller ID with call waitingThis product has a caller ID function with call waiting feature that works with service from your telephone service provider.

Caller ID with call waiting lets you see the name and telephone number of the caller after the first or second ring, even when you are on another call.

This telephone deletes the oldest entry when the log is full to make room for new calls. If you answer a call before the information appears on the screen, it will not be saved in the caller ID history.

It may be necessary to change your telephone service to use this feature. Contact your telephone service provider if:

You have both caller ID and call waiting, but as separate services (you may need to combine these services).You have only caller ID service, or only call waiting service.You do not have any caller ID or call waiting services.

This product can be used with regular caller ID service, or this product’s other features can be used without subscribing to either caller ID or combined caller ID with call waiting service. There are fees for caller ID services, and they may not be available in all areas.

Depending on your service, you may see the caller’s number or the caller’s name and number. This product can provide information only if both you and the caller are in areas offering caller ID service and if both telephone service providers use compatible equipment. The time and date are sent by the telephone service provider along with the call information.
