1150 just like a regular telephone.
For a text-telephone call, press the key and type. To

Auto-answer answers the telephone when you are busy or away
and takes text-telephone messages.

power failure. The battery will power the Uniphone 1150 for an
hour if the electricity goes off.

phone line.
A built-in greeting message lets you send out a quick “Hello GA.”
