Ringer Equivalence Number (REN):

This relates to the performance of the
apparatus when used in combination
with other items of apparatus. It
enables the calculation of the
maximum number of items of
apparatus that may be connected
simultaneously to the line by summing
the REN values of each item. ABT
supplied instrument has a REN value
of 1 unless otherwise marked.

A maximum REN value of 4 should
not be exceeded. The REN value of
this apparatus is 1.

Method of connection

This is connected to the exchange line
or PABX/PMBX (Private Automatic/
Manual Branch Exchange) extension
by the new standard British Telecom
plug and socket. Arrangements for
provision of this type of termination
can be made through the nearest
British Telecom Sales Office. The
apparatus may be connected to the
following types of installation. The
apparatus has been approved for use
under the following conditions:
a) This apparatus may be used on

telecommunication systems
employing LD and MF signalling. It
is suitable for connection to a direct
exchange line on the PSTN (Public
Switched Telephone Network) or via
a compatible PBX (Private Branch
Exchange). (Contact the supplier
for an up to date list of compatible
PBX’s.)

b) This apparatus is not suitable as an

extension to a payphone or for use
on a party line with shared service.

This cordless telephone has been
designed to operate on radio
frequencies which have been
assigned to the exclusive use of
cordless telephones. As the use of
cordless telephones becomes more
widespread users may experience a
reduction in the quality of service
obtainable from this apparatus.

WARNING:

The apparatus may be unable to
make emergency 999 or 112
telephone calls, under certain
conditions, e.g.

• Radio interference caused by
another cordless telephone
operating on the same radio
frequency.

• The portable handset battery needs
recharging, or has failed.

• The portable handset cannot be
used while charging.

There is a possibility of occurrence of
overhearing between cordless
telephones operating on the same
radio channel. And such interference
may increase with greater usage of
cordless telephones.

999 or 112 can be dialled on the
apparatus for the purposes of making
outgoing calls to the BT Emergency
(999 or 112) Service.

Any cases of difficulty should be
referred in the first instance to the
supplier of the apparatus.

NOTE:

If you experience any problems with
the normal use of your apparatus, you
should unplug it from the telephone
outlet and connect a known working
telephone in its place. If the known
working telephone still gives
problems, then please contact the
customer service department of your
PSTN operator. If it operates properly,
then the problem is likely to be a fault
in your apparatus. In this case,
contact your supplier for advice. Your
PSTN operator may charge you if they
attend a service call that is not due to
apparatus supplied by them.

Operating More than One Base Unit

You can register and operate your handset (KX-A332CE-B) at up to
4 KX-TCD950E-B base units. Since each base unit forms a radio cell, you can
extend the range or area in which you can make/answer calls with the same
handset by placing the base units in suitable locations.

Operation example:

The example below shows two base units connected to 2 lines.

You can receive incoming calls at any handset located within either base unit's
radio cell. You can make outgoing calls from any handset within the entire radio
area using the same telephone line. For example, you can use a handset in
different radio areas, such as at home or the office.
Each handset must be registered at both base units (p. 66). You can register up
to 6 handsets at each KX-TCD950E-B base unit.

Notes on using the handset(s) at more than one base unit

• The base unit number which the handset is currently in contact with can be
displayed in the stand-by mode (p. 52).
Calls (both incoming and outgoing) can be conducted only via the displayed
base unit (even if the radio areas overlap with neighbouring base units).

• Intercom calls can be conducted within the radio area of the current base unit,
but not with units in neighbouring radio areas.

• If the handset moves to another radio area, it loses contact with the previous
base unit and a radio link with the new base unit is set up automatically.
("Automatic base unit access"–see p. 69).
Calls in progress are cancelled when the unit moves to another radio area.

• You can deactivate "Automatic base unit access" at a base unit. By selecting
"Specified base unit access" (p. 69), you can choose the base unit where you

Important Notice Concerning the Correct
Use and Charging of a Ni-MH Battery

Batteries, due to their construction, undergo some wear and tear. The life of a
battery also depends on correct maintenance. Charging and discharging are the
most important factors. You should take notice of the following to maintain
battery life for as long as possible.
A Ni-MH battery has the "memory effect". If a fully charged battery is used
several times only for 15 minutes in the handset and then recharged, the
capacity of the battery will be reduced to 15 minutes due to this effect.
Therefore, you should discharge the battery completely, i.e. use it in the handset
until " " on the display starts flashing. Then recharge it as described in the
manual. After the memory effect has occurred, it is possible to achieve almost
full capacity from the Ni-MH battery by charging and discharging several times
one after another.
A Ni-MH battery can also self-discharge which depends on the ambient
temperature. At temperatures under 0°C, it will be at its lowest. At high humidity
and high temperatures, it will be at its highest. Also long-term storage will lead to
self-discharge. An exhausted Ni-MH battery should not be disposed of normally.
It contains toxic heavy metal Hydride and therefore should be recycled.

Dear purchaser,

You have acquired a KX-TCD950E-B, which is a product made in regard with
the European Standards for Cordless Telephones (DECT). DECT technology
is characterised by high-security protection against interception as well as
high-quality digital transmission.
This telephone was designed for a wide range of applications.
For example, this telephone can be used within a network of base units and
handsets, constituting a telephone system which:

• operates up to 6 handsets from one base unit

• allows intercom between 2 handsets

• allows a handset to operate from 4 base units, expanding the

communication radio area.

This telephone may be used for:

• operating several handsets

• operating from several base units

• connecting the base unit to a PBX.

Term Definitions

DECT

The abbreviation DECT means "Digital Enhanced Cordless
Telecommunications".

Advantages of DECT

Excellent voice quality: Through sampling of digital signals DECT-units
obtain nearly noiseless transmission.
High grade taping security: Based on digital transmission DECT­conversations are well protected against unauthorised monitoring.
Multi-Handset operation: There is no cable installation necessary when
several handsets are operating at the base units.
Interlink: Intercom conversations can be held free of charge between the
registered handsets.
Functions like a PBX: (Like a PBX-system, functions can be performed
during an external call), e.g. handle one internal call or transferring an
outside call to another handset.
Multi-Base station operation: More than one handset can be registered to
several base units, e.g. for private and office applications.

Equipment Manufacturer’s Code (EMC)

For definite identification, this unit is prepared with an EM Code which can be
applied to future operators in mobile networks.
