Frequently asked questions

· I don’t have the time displayed on my Minifone – why?

The time will be displayed on your Minifone if you subscribe to a Caller
Display Service from your telephone service provider. This will be
automatically updated each time you receive a call.

· The time displayed on my Minifone is not correct – why?

Your Minifone may lose time over a period if it is not updated by the
Caller Display Service (see 1 above). It is recommended that the Minifone
is used to answer calls daily (if possible) which will update the time.

· Does the Minifone recognise an answering machine?

When the Minifone makes a call to one of the three emergency numbers,
a voice message is heard by the call receiver ‘Hello, this is Minifone,
please press 5 to accept the call’. If the call receiver does not press 5 on
their phone the Minifone will automatically move to the next number.
An answerphone will not press 5 so the Minifone will move to the next
number after approx 30 seconds.
