Check and replace D-cell battery units

Important info

Check your batteries periodically to make sure they’re functioning properly. Batteries have a limited lifespan, even if they aren’t in use. Older batteries may not provide a full 24 hours of backup. You should always have a new set of batteries available..
During a power outage, you may have to replace the batteries more than once to maintain working service. When you replace the batteries, replace all batteries at the same time with the same type and brand. You should never mix old and new batteries or use rechargeable batteries. This can damage the device.

FYI: Backup battery won’t power a cordless phone. It will only power a corded phone.
