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. A
BT 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 intended 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.

2

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.

Although this equipment can use either
loop disconnected or DTMF signalling,
only the performance of the DTMF
signalling is subject to regulatory
requirements for correct operation. It is
therefore strongly recommended that the
equipment is set to use DTMF signalling
for access to public or private emergency
services. DTMF signalling also provides
faster call set up.

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

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.

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.

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

Important Notice Concerning the Correct Use

Useful Information

and Charging of Ni-Cd (Ni-MH) Batteries

Batteries, due to their construction, undergo some wear and tear.The lifetime 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 the life of the battery as long as possible.
Ni-Cd (Ni-MH) batteries may experience a memory effect. If fully charged batteries are used
several times only for 15 minutes in the handset and then recharged, the capacity of the batteries
will be reduced to 15 minutes due to the memory effect.Therefore you should discharge the
batteries completely, i.e. use them in the handset until “ ” on the display starts flashing.
Then recharge them as described in the manual. After the memor y effect has occurred, it is
possible to achieve almost complete capacity of the Ni-Cd (Ni-MH) batteries by charging and
discharging several times one after another.
Ni-Cd (Ni-MH) batteries can also self-discharge.This self-discharge depends on the ambient
temperature. At temperatures under 0°C, the self-discharge will be the lowest.High humidity and
high temperatures support the self-discharge. Also long-ter m storage will lead to self-discharge. A
dead Ni-Cd (Ni-MH) battery should not be disposed of normally.They contain toxic heavy
cadmium (metal hydride) and therefore should be recycled.

Dear purchaser,

You have acquired a KX-TCD952EB, which is a product made in regard with
the European Standards for Cordless Telephones (DECT). DECT technology
is characterised by high-security protection against interceptions 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 at one base unit

• allows an intercom between 2 handsets

• allows the operation of a handset at up to 4 base units, expanding the

communication radio area.

This telephone may be used for:

• operating several handsets

• operating at 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, DECT
conversations are well protected against unapproved monitoring.
Multi-Handset operation: To operate several handsets at the base unit, no
cable installation is required.
Interlink: Intercom conversation can be held free of charge between the
registered handsets.
Functions like a PBX: More than one operation can be performed at the
same time, like a PBX. eg., during an external call, an internal call or outside
call can be transferred 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 identification, this unit is prepared with an EM Code, which can be
