Power-Fail Backup Mode - VTech VS150 TWIN User Manual

Power-faIl backuP mode

Power-fail mode allows your telephone system to function in the
event of a power outage. The telephone system uses stored power
from the handset's battery to operate.
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
Battery backup 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 Battery
backup 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 battery
to power base alternatively after the power goes out. Find another
system handset that has enough charge to activate the mode.
