Telephone operation

Line power mode (no AC power)

This telephone provides minimal functionality during a power failure. When AC power is not available, the screen is blank and many telephone features do not function. Only touch-tone dialing and handset volume adjustment are supported. The telephone uses power from the telephone line to enable you to make and answer calls using only the handset and dialing keys.

To make a call during a power failure

1.Lift the handset and wait for the dial tone. The screen shows NO AC POWER.

2.Dial a telephone number using the dialing keys. Wait to hear each key tone and make sure the digit appears on the screen before pressing the next dialing key.

To answer a call during a power failure

• Lift the handset.

NOTE: The screen does not show incoming caller ID information during a power failure.
