If you have a DSL phone line or a phone line through your cable company, you

Wireless WaterAlarm is designed to work with and is certified by the FCC to
operate on a standard, analog “POTS” telephone line provided by your local
telephone company. Most DSL, Cable or Digital phone services are compatible

these types of phone services, contact your phone service provider.

IMPORTANT:
During power failures, many alternative phone services such
as VOIP and Cable provided phone service DO NOT WORK. These phone
services require that power be on in the premises for the phones to operate. In
some cases, the phone service provide will provide a battery back-up system to
keep the phone working for a short period of time when power is out. The
Wireless WaterAlarm will NOT be able to call out if the power is out when
utilizing these phone services. If you have a standard, land line telephone
service, power is supplied to this line by the telephone company and is usually
not affected if power is out at the monitored location.
