was granted.

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:

2

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.

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.

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.

Important Notice Concerning the Correct Use
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 impor tant 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 memory 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-term 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.
