Q: if the electricity goes out will the phone still works?

A: 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.

Q: I 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.

A: 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.

Q: What is "quiet mode", and how does it work? Can it control the volume of the ringer? Can the ringer be turned off entirely?

A: Quiet Mode allows you to silence all sounds from the phone from 1 to 12 hours. The base and handset ringers can be raised, lowered, and turned off completely.

Q: Would this machine allow me to screen incoming calls? Can I hear the caller's message as s/he is leaving it?

A: 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.

Q: does the ringer have a way to mute for an extended period of time?

A: Hi - The The handset and speakerphone ringer volume settings are independent on the VTech CS6949. You can turn off the ringer volume on both the cordless handset and the telephone base. Thank you, -VTech Support
