Power Outages
The Wireless Home Phone device has a back-up battery in the 
event of a power outage with talk time of approximately 4 hours 
depending on environmental factors.  However, a landline phone 
requiring separate electric power to operate (e.g., cordless 
phones) connected to a Wireless Home Phone device will not 
place or receive calls (including 911 calls) during a power outage. 
Device Compatibility
The Wireless Home Phone device is not compatible with data or 
messaging services, home security systems, fax service, medical 
alert systems, medical monitoring systems, credit card machines, 
IP/PBX Phone systems, or dial-up Internet service.  May not be

In-Home Wiring
Interconnecting to home telephone wiring is not necessary, but 
is possible; however, it is not recommended unless you possess 
sufficient knowledge of electrical systems. Use with home wiring 
requires the physical disconnection from other services, including 
the landline coming into your home. Use of a qualified licensed 
electrician is highly recommended. Improper installation may 
result in phone equipment damage or even a fire.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of phone do I need to work with the Wireless Home 
Phone device?
Most standard touch-tone phones may be used. Rotary phones 
are not supported. Cordless phone systems provide the most 
flexibility and allow you to easily place additional handsets 
throughout your home. Cordless phone systems still need to be 
plugged into a power outlet.  
During a power outage, a standard corded phone which doesn’t 
require electrical power is needed.
How do I install my Wireless Home Phone device?
Refer to pages 4-9 of this guide for the most common installation 
methods. Other helpful information:
•	Installation near a window or outside wall is strongly 
recommended to ensure the strongest possible wireless signal 
in order to maximize voice quality.
•	If your voice quality is unacceptable, your device may not have 
sufficient signal strength (green bars).  You may need to relocate 
the device to another area of your home with a stronger wireless 
signal.
Will my Wireless Home Phone device work in areas with no or 
low wireless signal strength?
A strong wireless signal (three to five green bars) is recommended 
for optimal performance.  A moderate signal (one to two green 
bars) may be sufficient. If you do not see three to five bars, you 
may want to choose an alternate location.
