Getting started
Battery backup mode
Battery backup mode allows your telephone system to function in the event of
a power outage. The telephone system uses stored power from the handset’s
battery to operate.
To activate the mode
After the power goes out, if there is already a handset with
enough charge placed in the telephone base, the telephone
system enters battery backup mode automatically. That
handset screen shows
Powering base... Don’t pick up
. All
other handset screens show

power goes out, all handsets show

NOTE:

base, its screen shows
Out of range OR no power at base

Operation
During battery backup mode, the telephone base, answering system and all
Bluetooth related features will be disabled. The operating time is subject to the
battery level of the handset placed in the telephone base and the actual usage.
For optimal performance, we recommend that you do not use the handset
placed in the telephone base when this mode is on.
Using other system handsets (Recommended):
Operate the handsets the same way as usual, except the answering system and
all Bluetooth related features which will be disabled.
Using the handset placed in the telephone base:
To maximize the operating time, you are not advised to use this handset. If
you do have to use it, make sure you do not lift it from the telephone base. All
operations should be done with the handset placed in the telephone base. In
this case, calls can only be made and received using the speakerphone.
