operate. When the AC power is off,
you cannot dial out or receive incoming
calls using your ET-925. To be safe,
you should also have a phone that
does not need AC power to operate
(not a cordless ph one) so you can still
make and receive calls if there is an
AC power failure.

phone’s serial number here. The number is on the bottom of the base.
