it can perform several of its functions during a power failure. The following
features will operate during a power failure (all other features are disabled):

While the power is out, the base uses a special ringer; you cannot
adjust the volume of this ringer.
Using Do Not Disturb
The
Do Not Disturb or DND feature turns off the audio ringers of the
