During a Power Failure

Because the phone is a corded/cordless combination phone, it can still perform several of its functions during a power failure. The following features will function with base corded handset even during a power failure:

•Making and receiving calls with the base corded handset

•Corded handset volume control

•Call Waiting on a base corded handset call

•Entering pauses when dialing from the base corded handset

•A special ring tone will sound during a power failure and you will not be able to control the volume setting of this ring.

All other features are disabled during a power failure.
