To qualify, the base station of the cordless phone or its power supply must be designed to plug into a wall outlet and there must not be a physical connection between the portable handset and the phone jack.
2A commercially available electronic product—also known as a telephone answering device (TAD)—whose purpose is to provide analog or digital storage of outgoing and incoming telephone messages by connecting to the telephone line between the phone and the phone jack.

To qualify, the answering machine or its power supply must be designed to plug into a wall outlet.

Most of these devices require a wall pack for power, are plugged into an AC power outlet for 24 hours a day, and do not have a power switch to turn them off.
