Memory Full
When answering system memory is full, the system answers after 10 rings, beeps and waits for you to enter the 3-digit
security code. If you don't enter the security code within 8 seconds, the phone hangs up.
You should erase some messages so the answering system can record new messages.
NOTE: The unit also answers after the 10th ring if it is turned off. To access the answering system, enter
your 3-digit security code.

Changing the Battery
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire or personal injury, use only the Thomson Inc. approved model

1. Make sure the telephone is OFF (not in TALK mode) before you replace the battery.
2. Remove the battery compartment door.
3. Disconnect the cord attached to the battery pack and remove the battery pack from the handset.
4. Insert the new battery pack and connect the cord to the jack inside the battery compartment.
