Battery backup mode
Battery backup mode allows your telephone to function in the event of
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 Pwr outage mode.
-OR-
If there is no handset placed in the telephone base after
the power goes out, all handsets show Out of range OR
No power at base and Put HS on base to power base,
alternatively. Place any handset with enough charge in the
telephone base. Its screen shows Powering base... Don’t pick
up. All other handset screens show Pwr outage mode.
NOTE: A handset which does not have enough charge to power up
the base, its screen shows Out of range OR No power at base and
Not enough batt to power base, alternatively, after the power goes out.
Find another system handset that has enough charge to activate the mode.
Operation
During battery backup mode, the telephone base and answering system 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,
you are not recommended to 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
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.
