Notes for operation in New Zealand

The grant of a Telepermit for any item of terminal equipment indicates
only that Telecom has accepted that the item complies with the minimum
conditions for connection to its network. It indicates no endorsement of
the product by Telecom, nor does it provide any sort of warranty. Above
all, it provides no assurance that any item will work correctly in all respects
with another item of Telepermitted equipment of a different make or
model, nor does it imply that any product is compatible with all of
Telecom’s network services. This device may be subject to ringing or
bell tinkle when certain other devices are connected to the same line. If
this occurs, the problem should not be referred to the Telecom Faults
service.

REN (RN for New Zealand)

The REN (Ringer Equivalence Number) or (RN) is of significance only if
you wish to connect more than 1 telephone to your telephone line. A
standard telephone line has a maximum REN capacity of 3 (RN of 5). It
is possible to connect 3(5) devices with a REN of 1 (RN of 1) with no
degradation to the product’s performance. Exceeding this limit may cause
the volume of the ringer in any phone to decrease or not ring at all.

Caller ID

Customers using non Telecom toll services should not use the dial back
feature for local calls as this will incur a charge only the 7 digit number
should be dialled. Some of the CID services listed may not be available

8 Important Information

guide and ensure that you are using the product in accordance with the
instructions.

Remove all extra telephone equipment and connect only this telephone
directly to the telephone socket.

If the fault is still present, connect another telephone (if available) to the
telephone socket. The results will show you whether the fault lies with
this unit or with the telephone line. If the product is working correctly
the fault is on the telephone line. Please contact your network operator
for assistance

In the case of technical problems with this product please consult our

8

8.2 Cleaning and care

The surface of the case can be cleaned with a dry, soft, lint-free cloth.
Never use cleaning agents, particularly aggressive solvents. Apart from
occasional cleaning of the case, no other care is necessary. The rubber
feet of the base station are not resistant to all cleaning agents. The
telephone feet do not normally leave any marks on the surface. However,
on account of the multitude of varnishes and surface finishes used,
surface marks caused by the feet of the unit cannot be ruled out. The
manufacturer can therefore not be held responsible for possible damage
to furniture or the like.

This product is covered by a 12 month warranty against defective
workmanship or parts. The warranty does not extend to damage caused
by misuse, negligence, excessive voltage, faults on the telephone line
or lightning. This guarantee in no way affects your statutory rights. Full
details of the warranty are contained in the enclosed warranty card.
