Emergency calls
The emergency services can be contacted by dialling 999 or 112.
If your Converse 320 is connected to a switchboard or PBX, you might have to dial another number before 999 or 112 in order to get an outside line.
On some switchboards, you may not be able to get an outside line if the power fails. Check with your switchboard operator or communications manager.
