Using Your Phone During a Power Failure
If there is a power failure, you can still make and receive phone calls using
the base corded handset, including Call Waiting calls and changing the
earpiece volume. All other features of the base and all cordless handsets
will not function.

While the power is out, the base uses a special ringer; you cannot
adjust the volume of this ringer.
