Did you know that you should always have a basic analog
phone in your house in case of power outages? Features
such as a display, answering machine or speaker require
external power to run them. This external power is also
used to power the chip that converts the key pad pulses
to a “touch tone” signal. (The “basic” phone uses the DC
voltage on the phone line to power the keypad.) Be sure
to purchase an inexpensive phone that does not require
electricity to use in case of power outages. |
