Frequently Asked Questions

Will the phone work during a power outage?

Your Lifeline Cordless Phone has battery backup power, which means that 
it can function during a power outage, provided that your phone service 
is working.  It will provide up to 30 hours of backup power for Help Calls 
and up to one hour for regular phone calls.  For further information, 
please refer to page 49.

How can I be sure my Lifeline Cordless Phone is working? 

Your phone is working properly as long as the green power Indicator on 
the base is lit and the Reset button is not blinking.  If the yellow Reset 
button is blinking, please press the Reset button to hear what is wrong. 

How far away from the phone will the Lifeline Help Button work? 

Your Help Button provides coverage inside your home and may provide 
coverage in the area immediately outside (yard, porch, etc.).  When you 
set up your Lifeline Cordless Phone, you should test your Lifeline Help 
Button’s signal range to determine which areas of your home are covered.  
See the Quick Start Guide for instructions. 

Why do I need to place the phone and the Voice Extension on a  

hard surface? 

It is important to place the phone and optional Voice Extension on a hard 
surface because the microphones that are used to hear your voice are 
located on the bottom.  A hard surface is required in order to provide the 
best possible sound quality. 

Why is the handset beeping?

The Find button on the phone base may have been pressed.  When Find 
is pressed, the handset will beep for up to 5 minutes to help you locate it. 
Press any key on the handset to stop the beeping.

Why don’t I hear the handset beeping after pressing the Find button?

There are a few possible explanations.  The handset may be under a 
pillow, blanket or cushion that is muffling the sound.  Or, the handset 
may be sitting in the optional charger.  Or, the handset battery may be 
completely discharged.
