Are the programmable numbers lost when the power goes out? Can I program the phone then ship it to my relative?

I checked with the company, and they told me once programmed, it would last in memory for a half hour, that worked as I brought it to a relative. Had to remember to program with different area codes!

I suggest this phone instead. Uniden D2997 Loud and Clear Cordless - Uniden D2997 Loud and Clear Cordless Answering System with Big Buttons and Caller Announce - the phone is cordless, had will hold the numbers if the power goes out. Also, my mother found that it's louder than the Clarity Amplified phone. - We never programed the Clarity, because she found she usees the Uniden in far more cases.

This phone is battery operated but I can't tell you if the numbers will continue to be stored.

I do not know because I have not used that feature on our phone yet. I know there are no batteries for back up.

I don't think so. I recently had a power outage and it wouldn't work. But perhaps there is something to set up or to do which I didn't do, but, again, I doubt it. I have a very old analogue phone for just such outages.

I don't believe any cell phones have the capability of transmitting operational codes even if you created a program for them that would allow them to do it because they don't have transmitters at those frequencies, but several companies make internet based equipment that can be used to activate almost anything, via a smart phone signal. Contact alarm companies that allow you to use your smart phone to see your premises and operate lights, and I'm sure they can work out adding your garage door to the list of what they can do for a price. However just because you can doesn't mean you might want to go to all that trouble and ongoing expense. The existing remotes are small and easy to use. You phone would be much more cumbersome to use and not worth the extra trouble unless perhaps you only thought you might need it as an occasional back up.

No. The base requires electricity. If power is out, these phones will not work.

Yes, but not easily, another option is an auto lock which keeps you from makeing accidental calls from your pocket. To lock your phone enter the "setting and tools" goto "phone settings" then "security" the code will be defaulted to the last four digets of your phone number. From there you change the pin and lock the device. If you happen to lose power or shut your phone off it will restart locked. All in all not the most secure but for most cases it will suffice

The phone that we purchased has a handset that can be replaced. It has a plug and is not hard wired. Hope that helps.

No. It is just an electronic thermostat. And BTW it has been installed and is working very well. I may order some more to replace the old mechanical thermostats that are getting some age on them. I do have a thermostat which I use to control another rom that is programmable which will stay programmed during short power outages but it does not have a replaceable battery Hope this helps.

No. Messages already recorded are not lost, but the unit won't work if the power fails.

No it does not forget during a power outage .The memory only holds a couple of hundred phone numbers . After a year or two the call blockers phone number memory fills up and the phone starts ringing again..You can not add new phone pests any more.Like during the weeks before election time. Dag Nab it !Had to answer the phone 5 times today people wanting me to vote for them.I want a automatic dialer zapping machine that can smoke a automatic dialer with the push of a button.

No. This is a device that you plug lamps/electrical devices into and press a manual button for on/off. It's not programmable. Choose another device if you want something smart phone programmable.

This product cannot be programmed with alternate numbers. It's preset to call and communicate with 911. I looked on Amazon for a product similar to this one that can be programmed and found the "Freedom Alert 911 Newest DECT Model Emergency Alert System" (copy, paste and search on Amazon, you'll find it), although it's at a considerably higher price.

no place to install batteries. mine is plugged in. according to manual, if there's a power outage the screen will be blank but you can still dial/receive calls. when you dial (in power outage), the number will still appear on screen.

Yes, you can. There are instructions with the device that will make it very easy to call it and check on the settings. You will need a landline phone to set up the freeze alarm. I set mine so that I call home, let the phone ring three times, then hang up. I then call again and the freeze alarm will answer after two rings to give me the status of my home temperature and the strength of the battery backup. The device is very reliable in my experience. It has saved me from freeze damage at least once a year. It calls me and alerts me to cold temperature in the house(the pilot light on the boiler had gone out) and then it called a neighbor, who was able to restart the boiler and keep things safe.

This is not mentioned in manual.By experiment, the phone book survives power failure. I have no idea whether it is stored in the base station or one or morte handsets. The manual says base station ahndset works during power failure.Larry

Without power, the master/wall unit will function as a phone but won't support the wireless part of it.So yes, you have to plug the base in but also yes, you can still make phone calls during a power outage but only with the base unit.

Yes, the corded base station will still work, but some of the features will not. Having the security of the phone during a power outage gives great peace of mind.
