Operation during a power failure.

This phone will operate during a power failure if a working battery has been installed. You will be able to answer calls with the handset, and dial calls using the dial pad keys and the one-touch or redial features. No other features will work until power is restored. All programming is retained during a power failure.

The screen displays AC FAIL.

The phone has been disconnected from AC power. When AC power is restored, the screen will return to the usual display. One touch and redial numbers are retained until power is re stored.

My calls fade out or cut in and out when I am using the telephone.

If you have a headset plugged into the telephone, try unplugging it and firmly plugging it in again.

Disconnect the telephone base from the modular jack and plug in another corded telephone. If calls are still not clear, the problem is probably in the wiring or local service. Contact your local service company (charges may apply).

If you are using the speakerphone when this problem occurs, eliminate any background noise. Noise from the television, radio, or other appliances may cause the speakerphone to cut in and out.

Try engaging the [mute] button when you are not speaking or eliminating the background noise.
