Line power mode (no AC power)
This telephone provides minimal functionality during a power failure. When AC
power is not available, the screen is blank and many telephone features do not
function. Only touch-tone dialing and corded handset volume adjustment are
supported. The telephone uses power from the telephone line to enable you
to make and answer calls using the corded handset and dialing keys.
Aer you install your telephone or the power returns following a power
outage, the telephone base or cordless handset will prompt you to set the
date and time. For instructions, see Set date/time on page 20 and page

cordless handset or CANCEL on the telephone base.
