Should such problems occur, the user should NOT contact the Telecom Fault Service. This equipment may not provide for the effective hand-over of a call to another device connected to the same line. Under power failure conditions, this appliance may not operate. Please ensure that a separate telephone, not dependent on local power, is available for emergency use.
