Using Your Phone During a Power Failure
If there is a power failure, you can still make and receive phone calls using the base
corded handset, including Call Waiting calls and changing the earpiece volume. All
other features of the base and all cordless handsets will not function.

While the power is out, the base uses a special ringer; you cannot adjust
the volume of this ringer.
