Emergency calls.

The emergency services can be contacted in the UK by dialling 999. You may also dial 112 which is valid in any country that is a member of the European community.

You may not be able to make an emergency call in certain situations:

• If the telephone is disconnected

• If the main and back-up batteries in the organiser have run down

• If there is a fault on the line from your phone or on the network

• If mains supply is switched off or power adaptor is disconnected

If your Easicom 100 is connected to a PBX (switchboard), you may have to dial an access number before 999 to contact the emergency services. Some switchboards cannot dial out during a power failure.

IMPORTANT

Check that your Easicom 100

is complete.

When you unpack you should have:

Easicom 100 organiser.

Easicom 100 cradle (i.e., the base unit)
