IMPORTANT INFORMATION

911
911 services are supported just as they are on any
wireless device. You should expect to provide your home
address to the emergency response center responsible for
sending first responders (e.g., police, medical assistance,
or fire) to your location.
Power Outages
The Wireless Home Phone Base has a back-up battery
with talk time of up to three and a half (3.5) hours
depending on environmental factors. Please note you'll
need a standard corded phone that doesn't require
external power to function with the back-up battery for
all calling, including 911.
Device Compatibility
The Wireless Home Phone Base does not support your
home security systems, fax machines, dial-up or DSL
internet service, DVR services, media alert services (e.g.,
Life Alert), or credit card machines. The service cannot be
used to make 500, 700, 900, 976, 0+collect, operator
assisted, or dial-around calls (e.g., 1010-XXXX).
The device does not support data services (e.g., texting,
multimedia message services (MMS), and data tethering).
In-Home Wiring
Interconnecting to home telephone wiring is not
necessary, but is possible; however, it is not recommended
unless you possess sufficient knowledge of electrical
systems. Use with home wiring requires the physical
disconnection from other services, including the landline
coming into your home. Use of a qualified licensed
electrician is highly recommended. Improper installation
may result in phone equipment damage or even a fire.
