Line power mode (no AC power)
This telephone provides minimal functionality during a power failure. When AC power is not available, the cordless handset screen is blank and many telephone features do not function. Only touch-tone dialing and corded handset volume adjustment are supported. The telephone uses power from the telephone line to enable you to make and answer calls using the corded handset and dialing keys.
To make a call during a power failure
Lift the corded handset and wait for a dial tone.
Slowly dial a telephone number using the dialing keys. Wait to hear each key tone upon inputting a digit before pressing the next dialing key.
To answer a call during a power failure
