Caution: This telephone is capable of producing very high volume levels when the 'Boost' is switched on and the volume control is set to maximum. Extreme caution should be taken if the handset is to be shared between users with normal hearing and those with hearing impairment.

Medical equipment

DO NOT use your telephone near emergency/intensive care medical equipment; if you have a pacemaker fitted or during an electrical storm.

Dialling pause

In the case of private branch exchanges, it is necessary to enter an access code to get an outside line with its corresponding dialling tone. When using some older private branch exchanges, it takes a little time before the dialling tone becomes available. Particularly in the case of such private branch exchanges, it is possible to insert a dialling pause after the number for the outside line so that the number can be dialled in a continuous process without having to wait for the dialling tone.
