911 Emergency Service
When a Tel-Lynx user places a 911 emergency call, Tel-Lynx will override the
Do-Not-Disturb feature and switch into
directly through for one (1) hour
through without delay. When the emergency is over, at the dial tone, you can
press # 6 # to cancel the override feature.
When a user makes an emergency call, Tel-Lynx will select an available
line based on the user-defined shared outside line calling table for emergency
calls, unless the user specifies a line before dialing 911 (see
Outside Line).
It is imperative that the emergency calling table is setup correctly;
otherwise you may not be able to place an emergency call at a critical time.
As of this printing, Skype™ does not provide 911 emergency call services
for the US; therefore, you should NOT use Skype™ as an outside line for
emergency calls. By default the emergency calling table is setup to dial out first
on the landline if it is available, then on mobile phone 1 if it is available, then on
mobile phone 2 if it is available.
If you change the default emergency calling table setting and specify Skype, you
should specify it as the last line to try when all others fail. You can program a
phone number that Skype™ will call when you dial 911 on a Skype™ line.
Be sure to program an appropriate phone number for your area.

Power Interruptions

If the power is out or Tel-Lynx is not operating for any reason, no calls, not
even emergency calls, can be placed or received through Tel-Lynx. If this
happens, you can call 911 directly on your
Telco line, you can connect a wired telephone directly to it to call 911.
Remember that most cordless telephones cannot be used when the power
is out.
It is highly recommended that you put your cordless phone base station
and Tel- Lynx on a UPS (uninterruptable power supply) to avoid service
interruptions during power outages.
It is also safe practice to place a wired telephone in parallel with Tel-Lynx
on your landline (if you have one) so that the wired telephone can be used
in an emergency when the power is off. You can silence the ringer on the
8 The call to 911 must last for at least 10 seconds in order for Tel-Lynx to switch into ring through mode.
This avoids accidental 911 calls from switching modes.
