Questionif the electricity goes out will the phone still works?
Asked 8 years ago by sarea.
- Answer If you lose power, only the base will work... the wireless phone will not. The base is the wired part of this system and the land line supplies enough power to make a phone call like in the old days. Hope this answers your question.

QuestionI purchased an extension phone (CS6909) for father-in-law's base (CS6949, corded) but cannot figure out how to register it together. The instructions do not mention the CS6949 base. I have seen the extension display "Registering" but it fails.
Asked 8 years ago by MikeK.
- Answer Someone told me to look in to FAQ section, and I found "Press and Hold FIND HANDSET on the base for about four seconds until the IN USE light turns on and it shows REGISTERING, then on the handset, press the QUIET #, and then it will show REGISTERING. The CS6909 extension does work with the CS6949 base.

QuestionWould this machine allow me to screen incoming calls? Can I hear the caller's message as s/he is leaving it?
Asked 9 years ago by NeedNewPhone.
- Answer Yes, you can listen on the base unit speaker as someone records a message, BUT you probably have to be standing right next to the base unit to screen calls, because the volume on the speaker isn't very loud even when turned all the way up.

Here's the complete instructions on how to delete: Step 1: Press MENU when the phone is not in use. Step 2: Press ▲ or ▼ to choose Settings, and then press SELECT. Step 3: Press ▲ or ▼ to choose Home area code, and then press SELECT. Press DELETE on the handset or X/DELETE on the telephone to delete a digit or press and hold DELETE on the handset to delete all digits. Step 4: Press SELECT to save your selection. Then the screen returns to the previous menu. Hope that helped! Thank you! ~VTech Support
