1.3.8 Install Batteries (Optional) While it is not necessary for you to install batteries in your 2740 telephone for it to function normally, we do recommend that they be installed. The batteries are not needed to preserve your memory dial numbers, because all memory dial numbers are stored in static memory.

Your 2740 telephone will light up its line status indicators when a non-2740 telephone such as a fax ma- chine, modem, or standard telephone is using a line.
