Choose an area near an electrical outlet and telephone wall jack. Your phone should be placed on a level surface, such as a table top or desk. 2. Install 4 AAA-size alkaline batteries (not included) for back up power in the event of a power failure. CAUTION: Unit will not work if electrical power fails and batteries are depleted or not installed.
