CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire or injury to persons or
damage to the telephone, read and follow these instructions

Installation preparation
If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (digital subscriber
line - DSL) through your telephone lines, you must install a DSL
filter between the telephone line cord and the telephone wall jack.
The filter prevents noise and caller ID problems caused by DSL
interference. Please contact your DSL service provider for more
information about DSL filters.
Your product may be shipped with a protective sticker covering the
handset or telephone base display - remove it before use.
Make sure to install four
AA alkaline batteries
(not included) before
using the telephone.
See page 6 for easy
instructions.

Battery installation
Before 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 telephone 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 one-touch and two-touch memory, redial list, and all
settings in the feature menu. It is recommended that you install
new batteries soon after the low battery icon appears.
Follow the steps below to install the batteries:
Press on the tab and lift to open the cover of the battery
compartment.
