Line power mode (no AC power)

Your 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.
To make a call during a power failure:
1. Lift the corded handset and wait for a dial tone. The screen displays Base Check

tone upon inputting a digit before pressing the next dialing key.
