ImportantImportant

1 Important

Take time to read this user manual before
you use your telephone. It contains important
information and notes regarding operating
your telephone.

1.1 Power requirements

• This product requires an electrical supply
of 220–240 volts, alternating monophased
power, excluding IT installations defined in
standard EN 60-950. In case of power
failure, the communication can be lost.

• The electrical network is classified as
hazardous according to criteria in the
standard EN 60-950. The only way to power
down this product is to unplug the power
supply unit from the electrical outlet.
Ensure the electrical outlet is located close to
the apparatus and is always easily accessible.

• The voltage on the network is classified
as TNV-3 (Telecommunication Network
Voltages), as defined in the standard
EN 60-950.

w Warning

• This equipment is not designed to make
emergency calls in the event of a power
failure. An alternative has to be made available
to allow emergency calls.

• High voltage. Never open the product or
attempt any repair.

• Keep the product away from liquid.

• Never use any battery type other than the
one supplied. There is a risk of explosion if the
batteries are replaced by an incorrect type.

• When the phone is ringing avoid holding
the earpiece too close to your ear as it may
damage your hearing.

• Do not use the product in places where there
are explosive hazards.
