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.

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.
