Initial basic settings
Line power mode (no AC power)
This telephone provides minimal functionality during a power failure. When AC
power is not available, the screen is blank and many telephone features do not
function. Only touch-tone dialing and corded handset volume adjustment are
supported. The telephone uses power from the telephone line to enable you to
make and answer calls on
Line 1
only using the corded handset and dialing keys.
After you install your telephone or the power returns following a power outage, the
telephone base or cordless handset will prompt you to set the date and time. To
skip setting the date and time, press
CANCEL
or

on the telephone base, or
press
OFF
/
CANCEL
or

on the corded handset.
