Installing your Easicom 200

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 200 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 200

is complete.

When you unpack you should have:

Easicom 200 organiser.

Easicom 200 cradle (i.e., the base unit)
