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 Emergency 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.
• During a mains power failure.
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.
