1.This equipment has been approved to [Council Decision 98/482/EC — “CTR 21"] for pan-European single terminal connection to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). However, due to dif- ferences between the individual PSTNs provided in different countries, the approval does not, of itself, give an unconditional assurance of successful operation on every PSTN termination point.

Network Compatibility Declaration.

Both the physical Line Interface model and the internal soft switch settings determine the PSTN compatibility of this product. The internal settings have been set for compatibility with the UK PSTN.

In the event of problems, you should contact your equipment supplier in the first instance.”

2.This equipment has been approved for use of the following facilities:

Storage of telephone numbers for retrieval by a predetermined code. (If problems occur, verify stored number.)

Automatic Call initiation.

Operation in the presence or absence of Initial or Secondary Proceed Indication. Automatic Dialing Facilities.

Automatic Storage of Last Number Dialed. Automatic Repeat Attempt Facilities. Auto Clear from the call originating end. Series Connection Facility.

Call Progress Monitor. Auto Answer. Modem.

Any other usage will invalidate the approval of the equipment if as a result, it then ceases to conform to the standards against which approval was granted.

3.The connection to the telecommunication systems must be unplugged before the earth is discon- nected. The connection to the telecommunication systems must not be hardwired.

4.The equipment may be used on telecommunication systems employing loop disconnect or MF sig- nalling.

5.This equipment is not suitable as an extension to a payphone or for use on shared service lines.

6.This equipment is suitable for connection only to direct exchange lines in the PSTN directly or via a compatible PABX. Any cases of difficulty should be referred in the first instance to the supplier of the equipment.

It cannot be guaranteed that the equipment will operate under all possible conditions of connection to compatible PABX. Any cases of difficulty should be referred in the first instance to the supplier of the equipment.

7.Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) = 1. The REN is a customer guide indicating approximately the maximum number of items of equipment that should be connected simultaneously to the line.

The sum of RENs of the individual items should not exceed four (4). The REN value of a BT tele- phone is assumed to be 1 unless otherwise marked.

8.While operation may be possible initially, changes to or modernization of the network taking place in the normal course of events may result in the equipment being connected to a network service with which it was not designed to be compatible. Failure of the equipment to work under these cir- cumstances may not be the responsibility of the network operator.

In the unlikely event of such problems occurring, the user should contact the supplier or maintainer of the equipment.

9.Interconnection directly, or by way of other equipment, of ports marked “SAFETY WARNING, see instructions for use” with ports marked or not so marked may produce hazardous conditions on the network and that advice should be obtained from a competent engineer before such a connection is made.
