Battery Backup for Your VoIP Phone
As we enter summer storm season, don't forget the battery backup for your VoIP phone (Voice over Internet Protocol, or phone service over the internet). For many years, your analog phone landline would allow you to stay connected to emergency voice services during a power outage. However, many of today's advanced VoIP home phone services require backup battery power to continue functioning during an outage. To avoid a disruption of home voice service during a power outage — and to maintain the ability to connect to 911 emergency services -- Maquoketa Valley Electric Cooperative (MVEC) offers backup batteries for purchase to members who subscribe to our MVlink VoIP phone service. What Your Battery Can — and Can't — Do for You MVEC/MVlink's backup batteries for telephone modems allow members to continue to use their home voice services during a power outage. Without a backup battery or alternate backup source such as a generator, members with VoIP service will not be able to make any calls, including emergency calls to 911. Click here to read more!

Unplug Your Devices if Lightning is Expected Any device plugged into a wall outlet in your home is at risk of suffering damage from an electrical surge during thunderstorms. So if lightning is expected, unplug your computers, laptops, tablets, and phones. Lightning doesn't have to strike a home directly to cause problems. A strike to or near a power line in the area can send a power surge into a home's electrical system, which can result in serious device damage. |
