POWER FAIL BACK-UP
The Power Fail back-up system lets you make calls
during a mains power interruption with your cordless
phone. During a mains power interruption, you can supply
the power stored in your handset battery to the base unit,
so you can make calls even when the power is out.
NOTES
• Power Fail Back-Up mode will not work if the handset battery
power is not sufficient (usually not lower than level 2).
• Do not pick up the power supplying handset from base when
Power Fail Back-Up mode is activated.
• Do not touch the charging contacts of the power supplying
handset during Power Fail Back-Up mode.
• In Power Fail Back-Up mode none of the base functions,
including the answering machine will operate.
• It may take up to 90 seconds to transition through the Power
Fail Back-Up activation process as the base and handset(s)
synchronise with each other.
