E911 Service

911 services are supported just as they are on any wireless device.
You should expect to provide your home address to the emergency
response center responsible for sending first responders (e.g.,
police, medical assistance, or fire) to your location.

Power Outages

Wireless Home Phone Base has a back-up battery with talk time
of up to three and a half (3.5) hours depending on environmental
factors. Please note you’ll need a standard corded phone that
doesn’t require external power to function with the back-up battery
for all calling, including 911.

Device Compatibility

Wireless Home Phone Base does not support your home security
systems, fax machines, dial-up or DSL internet service, DVR
services, medical alert services (e.g., Life Alert), or credit card
machines. The service cannot be used to make 500, 700, 900, 976,
0+ collect, operator assisted, or dial-around calls (e.g., 1010-XXXX).
The device does not support data services (e.g., texting, multimedia
message services (MMS), and data tethering).

In-Home Wiring

Interconnecting to home telephone wiring is not necessary, but
is possible; however, it is not recommended unless you possess
sufficient knowledge of electrical systems. Use with home wiring
requires the physical disconnection from other services, including
the landline coming into your home. Use of a qualified licensed
electrician is highly recommended. Improper installation may
result in phone equipment damage or even a fire.
