Power Failure back Up System

When a power failure occurs, the charged handset temporarily supplies
power to the base unit. You can then make and receive calls using a
handset.
When a power failure occurs, place the charged handset on the base,
the handset LCD backlight is illuminated for 10 secs and the message
"Supplying power Handset >> Base" is displayed on the LCD.
After 3 seconds, 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 efficently during the power
back-up mode. In addition, in case the handset battery power runs
out, we recommend connecting a corded-type telephone to the same
telephone line.
Making Calls
To make a call during the power failure mode, follow the steps given
below:
1. Taking care not to lift the handset from the base, press TALK/FLASH
(the speakerphone is turned on automatically). Dial the number.
2. After you finish, press END.
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 12 for details.
•
During a call with the handset placed on the base unit (power back-
up mode), the call may be disconnected if you touch the handset. In
such a case, try to call back.
•
The range of the base unit is limited during a power failure. Please
use the handset close to the base.
