POWER FAIL BACK-UP
The Power Fail back-up system lets you make calls during a
mains power interruption with your cordless phone. During
a mains power interruption, you can supply the power
stored in your handset battery to the base unit, so you can
make calls even when the power is out.
NOTES
• Power Fail Back-Up mode will not work if the handset battery
power is not sufficient (usually not lower than level 2).
• Do not pick up the power supplying handset from base when
Power Fail Back-Up mode is activated.
• Do not touch the charging contacts of the power supplying
handset during Power Fail Back-Up mode.
• In Power Fail Back-Up mode none of the base functions,
including the answering machine will operate.
• It may take up to 90 seconds to transition through the Power
Fail Back-Up activation process as the base and handset(s)
synchronise with each other.
Make a call using Power Fail Back-Up mode
If there is only one handset registered to the base:
• Once the handset is placed onto the main base
unit, enter the telephone number, and then press
. The speakerphone will be turned on
automatically and call is made.
NOTES
• If there is more than one handset registered to the base, the
handset on the main base unit should be left as a power supply
of the base and you can use the other handset(s) to make calls
like normal.
• The handset should always remain on the main base unit for the
entire length of the call.
