Connection and conditions for use:
You can connect this phone to a direct exchange line (DEL) or to an approved compatible private exchange (PBX). Do not connect the Big Button Combo as an extension to a payphone.

The Big Button Combo REN=1, and most other telephones have a REN=1 unless otherwise marked.

If you connect your telephone to a line with a broadband connection, you will need to insert a microfilter between the telephone and the telephone line, otherwise you may get interference between the telephone and the broadband, which could cause problems.
In a home with broadband, every telephone must have a microfilter connected, not just the one at the telephone point that your modem is connected to. If you need more broadband microfilters, contact your broadband supplier.

if the base comes into contact with liquids, disconnect from the mains power and the telephone line and use a soft cloth to dry it;
