Verizon V300AM – more than just a telephone
V300AM / USA EN / A31008-xxxxx-xxxx-x-6019 / starting.fm / 3.1.08
Verizon V300AM –
more than just a telephone
Your phone not only enables you to store
up to 150 telephone numbers (page 15) –
it can do a whole lot more:
uYou can designate important people as
VIPs so you can identify important calls
from the ringtone (page 15).
uYou can store anniversary dates
(page 16) in your phone and it will
remind you of them in advance.
uSelect frequently used phone numbers
at the press of a single key (page 15).
uView missed calls on your phone
(page 18).
uSelect 12 or 24-hour format for dis-
playing the time (page 10).
uECO DECT reduces power consumption
by using a power supply with low
power consumption. Your handset
reduces the transmitting power
depending on the distance to the base
station (close-up range).
Have fun using your new telephone!

view)
2 Power adapter 110 V
3 Phone jack with phone cord
Please note:
uMinimum No. 26 AWG telecommunica-
tion line cord must be used with this
phone.
uThe power adapter must be always
connected, as the phone will not oper-
ate without an electrical connection.
Setting up the handset for use
Inserting the batteries
¤Fit the batteries with the correct polar-
ity (see diagram).
The polarity is indicated in/on the battery
compartment.
Closing the battery cover
¤First align the notches on the side of
the battery cover with the clips on the
inside of the casing.
¤Then close the cover, press on the top
so that it clicks into place.
Attaching the belt clip

Use only rechargeable UL approved AAA bat-
teries. Never use conventional (non-recharge-
able) batteries or other battery types as this
may cause significant damage to health and
property. For example, the outer casing of the
batteries could be destroyed or the batteries
could explode. The phone could also malfunc-
tion or be damaged as a result of using batter-
ies that are not of the recommended type.

flashes, e.g. Base 1. The handset will be
assigned the lowest unassigned internal
intercom number (1–6).
