ATTERIES

IMPORTANT:

You will have approximately 90 seconds to replace the batteries

before the memories stored in the handset are lost. Please read the instructions

before replacing the batteries and have the batteries ready to be inserted

beforehand. As a precaution, you may want to write down any stored informa-

Your Caller ID phone uses 4 AAA-size alkaline batteries for receiving and

storing Caller ID records and for the numbers you use for memory dialing.

1.

If the telephone cord is already connected, disconnect it from the wall

jack. Place the handset off to the side.

2.

Use a ball point pen to open the battery compartment door.

3. Insert 4 AAA-size alkaline batteries as shown on the diagram inside the

NFORMATION

Should your equipment cause trouble on your line which may harm the

telephone network, the telephone company, where practicable, may notify

you that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. Where

prior notice is not practicable and the circumstances warrant such action,

the telephone company may temporarily discontinue service immediately.

The telephone company may make changes in its communications

facilities, equipment, operations or procedures where such action is

required in the operation of its business. If these changes are expected to

affect the use or performance of your telephone equipment, the telephone

company will likely give you adequate notice to allow you to maintain

uninterrupted service.

Notice must be given to the telephone company upon termination of your

telephone from your line.

REN N

UMBER

On the bottom of this equipment is a label indicating, among other

information, the Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for the equipment.

The REN is useful in determining the number of devices you may connect

to your telephone line and still have all of these devices ring when your

telephone number is called. In most (but not all) areas, the sum of the

RENs of all devices connected to one line should not exceed 5. To be

certain of the number of devices you may connect to your line as

determined by the REN, you should contact your local telephone company.
