How soon after power failure does the unit make a call
901093
The call can be set for 5 minutes or 30 minutes after the power failure or the low temperature level is reached.

I am not sure why you would want to disable it, but you can disable it, sort of... There is a software parameter, length of time after the power fails before an alert goes out, that can be set to the maximum. That is to say, you can set it to call you after the power has only been out for one minute -- or you can set it to several hours before it calls you. By setting it to several hours (cannot recall what the maximum is), you can make calls due to power loss much less likely. But I do not think you can totally disable it.

Yes. The unit plugs into a household outlet. Most phone services do work when the power is out. If your phone service depends on househole electrcity, then it won't be able to phone out. (We just switched to a "voice over IP" ? service that is part of our internet and when power is out so is the phone.

The only time my unit rebooted since I've had it was when the electric power went out in our area.

You need to be able to plug the base unit into a power outlet and a phone jack (land line). Once you've done that the unit can call cell phones or land lines in case of emergency. We have ours set to call 1 land line and 3 cell phones with no problems so far.

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.

the phone will work when the power goes out provided that your phone company service is still on. the phone gets it power from the phone company unlike a portable unit that has a base that plugs into a wall outlet.

Yes, the unit beeps when is has taken over for a power problem or outage. There is a silence button that stops the beep until the power comes back/ If it goes out again the beep continues until you silence it for a second time. It shouldn't be a problem for you.

Their are many direct access numbers that take you to the sub menu choices. They all start with #. Look in the manual for details.Can you explain how the phone will work in a power outage? Does it draw power from the phone line? Also, what will happen to the stored greeting & messages if power goes out? I don't want to test it as setup took a while & don't want to rerecord message.Thanks

Don't hesitate to call MagicJack if you have a problem. You will communicate with the company by online texting. I had an earlier power unit go bad and it was quickly replaced. Have patience because you will be dealing with an out-of-country calling bank

If there has been a power failure the LED will flash slowly to let you know. Pressing and holding AUTO/SETUP at the time you like a wash to run (or CatActivation awake period to begin) will reset the timer. If you get a new CatGenie make sure it is the 120+ unit as that will give you the option of 24hr CatActivation so in that case it won't matter if there has been a power failure. As mentioned the unit just starts from where it stopped if it was performing a wash when the power failed.

It alerts me when opened or closed no matter what. Not sure if power is lost.

This unit has to be wired in and charges until needed should the power go out.

the only thing I can suggest is to charge it for twenty or so minutes, then power it back on. By that time, it should be ok to receive a call or place one. when it is completely dead, then charging time may differ from one hour to several hours.

I don't believe so - the plus part of the phone is that when the power goes out this phone still has caller ID ans it is corded.

I have had many power failures but I never had to re-program this unit. I am not sure how it does but does remember settings. Please note the Power failures we have seen here only lasted a few hours maximum. I have to reset all radio-clocks that is how I notice power failures...

Hello. Once power is turned off, this unit will have to manually turned on by the "ON" button located on the front panel.
