Important note — emergency calls

The DECT 1915/1915+1  is not designed for making
emergency calls when the mains power fails. So you
should make alternative arrangements for access to
Emergency Services.
(This means that you should also have a basic
phone that does not need mains power, connected
to your line so that you can make calls during a
power failure.)
