Batteries

The phone base, handset and Voice Extension all contain batteries that
are factory installed.
The battery status of the phone base and Voice Extension is automatically
tested on a regular basis. The Voice Extension battery should last up to
eighteen months, while the phone base battery should last up to thirty
six months, depending on usage. If either battery needs to be replaced,
the yellow Reset button on the phone base will start to blink. When you
press the Reset button, the phone will announce the problem and tell you
what to do.
Please be sure to dispose of batteries properly.
