Getting started
Battery installation
If no batteries are installed or the batteries are depleted, you can make or answer calls
using only the handset.
• Use disposable AA alkaline batteries only. Do not use rechargeable
batteries.
• If you do not use the telephone for a long time, remove the batteries from
the telephone to prevent possible leakage.
• After replacing the batteries, you need to reset the date and time. For
instructions, see Set date and time on page 13.
• If no batteries are installed, you can only make or answer calls using the
handset, however, you can switch to the speakerphone mode during the
call by pressing SPEAKER.
