• If the telephone is disconnected

• If the main and back-up batteries in the organiser have run down

• If there is a fault on the line from your phone or on the network

• If mains supply is switched off or power adaptor is disconnected

If your Easicom 100 is connected to a PBX (switchboard), you may have to dial an access number before 999 to contact the emergency services. Some switchboards cannot dial out during a power failure.
