Power Failure Back Up System - Uniden XDECT SSE45 Owner's Manual

Power Failure Back Up System

# If your telephone service provider requires you to connect the phone to a modem/
router/terminal adaptor installed in your home, then you may not be able to make
or receive calls, in the event of a power failure.
# NBN advises end users that devices, including home phones, connected to the
nbn™ network will not work during a power failure unless you:
- have a battery backup (selected FTTP customers), or
- retained your traditional (copper) phone service.
When a power failure occurs, the charged handset temporarily supplies power to the
SSE 45 base. You can then make and receive calls using a handset. However, none of
the keys on the base unit are functional during the power failure mode.
During a power failure, place the charged handset on the base, the handset LCD
backlight is illuminated for about a couple of seconds and the message, "Supplying
power Handset >> Base", is displayed on the LCD. Once the base receives power from
the handset, the message, "Please don't pick up the handset", is displayed on the LCD.
If the handset is lifted from the base during the power back up mode, the message,
"Please put on the base cradle", will be displayed on the LCD. If the battery level is low,
the unit will not work efficiently during the power failure mode.
Making Calls
To make a call during a power failure, taking care not to lift the handset from the base,
press TALK/FLASH (the speakerphone is turned on automatically). Key in the number.
Press END, when you finish.
When more than one handset is registered:
• You should leave one handset on the base unit for supplying the power, and use
another handset for making calls. Please refer to the 'Using your Phone' section on
page 16 for details.
• Do not touch the handset placed on the base unit when making a call. If you touch
the handset the call may be disconnected.
• The range of the base unit is limited during a power failure. When using the
additional handset to make a call, please ensure that you are close to the base.
Redial List/Phonebook
