Operating instruction manual

Please read this operating instruction manual thoroughly.

Intended use

The telephone is suitable for telephoning within a public telephone network system. Any other use is considered unintended use. Unauthorised modification or reconstruction is not permitted. Under no circumstances open the device or complete any repair work yourself.

Installation location

Prevent excessive exposure to smoke, dust, vibration, chemicals, moisture, heat and direct sunlight.

Hearing aid compatible

Using the premium receiver, the telephone is perfectly adapted for hearing aids and is compatible with most commercially available hearing aids. However, due to the wide range of hearing aids available, there is no guarantee that the telephone will function problem-free with every model.

Attention: This telephone is capable of producing very high volume levels when the amplifier is switched on and the volume control is set to maximum. Extreme caution should be taken if the handset is shared by users with normal hearing and others with impaired hearing.

Disposal

In order to dispose of your device, take it to a collection point provided by your local public waste authorities (e.g. recycling centre). According to laws on the disposal of electronic and electrical devices, owners are obliged to dispose of old electronic and electrical devices in a separate waste container. The adjacent symbol indicates that the device must not be disposed of in normal domestic waste!

Risks to health and the environment from batteries!

Never open, damage or swallow batteries or allow them to pollute the environment. They could contain toxic and ecologically harmful heavy metals. You are legally obliged to dispose of power packs and batteries at the point of sale or in the corresponding containers provided at collection points by local public waste authorities. Disposal is free of charge. The above symbols indicate that the batteries must not be disposed of in domestic waste and that they must be disposed of at an authorised collection point.

5 PABX / Supplementary Services

R button on private branch exchanges

If the telephone is connected to a private branch exchange, functions such as transferring calls and automatic call back can be used via the R button. Please refer to the manual provided with your private branch exchange. The sales outlet where you purchased the exchange can provide information as to whether the telephone will work properly with the exchange.

Dialling pause

When using private branch exchanges, it is necessary to dial an access code to obtain the dialling tone for an outside line. When using some older private branch exchanges, it takes a little time before the dialling tone becomes audible. In the case of such private branch exchanges, a dialling pause can be inserted after the number for an outside line in order to continue dialling directly without having to wait for the dialling tone.

Insert a dialling pause:

Press ①.

After dialling the number for the outside line, the telephone waits approx. 3 seconds before dialling the actual phone number.

R-button and supplementary services

Your telephone supports supplementary services provided by your telephone network provider, such as brokering, call waiting and conference facilities. These supplementary services can be used by implementing the R button. Contact your telephone network provider with regard to enabling supplementary services.

Setting the Flash time

Set the required Flash time using the sliding switch located on the underside of the telephone. You can select between 100 ms and 300 ms.
