New Zealand Telecom Warning Notice
“Use of pulse dialing, when this equipment is connected to the same line as other equipment, may give rise to “bell tinkle” or noise and may also cause a false answer condition. Should such problems occur, the user should NOT contact the Telecom Faults Service.”

“WARNING NOTICE: No ‘111’ or other calls can be made from this device during a mains power failure”.
