Using Special Features; Power Failure Back Up System - Uniden XDECT 8155 Series Owner's Manual

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. However, none of the keys on the base unit are functional during
the power failure mode.
When a power failure occurs, place the charged handset on the base, the
handset LCD backlight is illuminated for about 10 secs and the message
"Supplying power Handset >> Base" is displayed on the LCD.
After that 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 "Out of Range" will be displayed on the LCD.
If the battery level is low, the unit will not work efficently during the power
failure 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 HOME/FLASH
(the speakerphone is turned on automatically). Dial the number.
2. After you finish, press END/CLEAR.
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 26 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.
