perform any other functions. However,
some functions such as Caller ID and
shared phonebook are available only
when using a handset other than the
handset supplying power to the base
unit. You can program  “Power

unit when a power failure occurs,
“Base no power Press OFF ” is
displayed. After pressing  MOFF N on
the handset, place it on the base unit
to start power back-up mode.
