circumstances where the only person contacted is not available.

• Inform the person(s) whose number(s) will be stored in the emergency
message that they need to acknowledge the call by pressing 0 at the
appropriate time.

• Ensure the numbers are stored with the area code and in the order in
which you want the phone to call them.

• Edit the stored phone numbers for persons to be contacted in emergency
situations when they change their phone numbers.

• Test the emergency call feature regularly.

• Test the batteries on both the phone and the pendant regularly to ensure
they are charged sufficiently to activate the emergency call feature.

in areas where there is the risk of an explosion, excessive exposure to
smoke, dust, vibrations, chemicals, moisture and heat.

• Do not use your telephone during an electrical thunderstorm as it is
possible to get an electric shock. Refer to information contained in Telstra
White pages directory.

• The earpiece of the handset may attract small metal objects such as
staples and pins. Care should be taken when placing the handset near
these items.

• Setting the receiver volume to maximum may, under some situations
cause ear damage. We suggest returning the handset volume control to
the “0” position after each call.

expose the unit to direct sunlight.
