Installation

If you are installing multiple phones in your telephone system, you must
install and program one set at a time. If more than one extension is
assigned the same extension number, a repeating short ring (error
ring) sounds at the extension you are programming and the screen
display includes EXThXXhishalreadyhusedhAssignhnewhEXTh#hif
the phone is in idle mode. If the phone is in the programming mode, you
will hear the repeating short ring only. Assign a different extension
number from 11 to 26 (see Assign an extension number to your
phone on page 26).
Battery installation
Install a 9V alkaline battery (purchased separately) in order to use some
features of this telephone in the event of a power failure. If power fails and
a working battery is installed, all four lines of this phone will work only to
answer calls with the handset or headset, and to dial calls using the key pad
and the one touch or redial features. No other features will work until
power is restored.
1. Remove the wedge from the underside of the base unit.
Press on the tabs in the direction of the arrows and pull the wedge
away from the phone.
2. Remove the battery compartment screw with a small
Phillips head screwdriver.
