General Information
General Information
It is very important that you read the User Guide
carefully as it contains detailed information on
installation, programming and operational issues which
you will need to be aware of to ensure the Care Phone
operates properly. Following is a list of some of the
important issues and important warnings which you
need to be aware of.
WARNING
This is a summary of the important issues you must
still read the User Guide in full.
• The telephone is designed for indoor use only. Do not
install the telephone in areas where there is the risk
of an explosion, excessive exposure to smoke, dust,
vibrations, chemicals, moisture and heat.
• Do not use your telephone during an electrical
thunderstorm as it is possible to get an electric
shock. Refer to information contained in Telstra White
pages directory.
• The earpiece of the handset may attract small metal
objects such as staples and pins. Care should be
taken when placing the handset near these items.
• Setting the receiver volume to maximum may, under
some situations cause ear damage. We suggest
returning the handset volume control to the “0”
position after each call.
• Do not install in damp locations such as a bathroom
or laundry, do not expose the unit to direct sunlight.

General Information
Notes for operation in New Zealand
The grant of a Telepermit for any item of terminal equipment indicates
only that Telecom has accepted that the item complies with the minimum
conditions for connection to its network. It indicates no endorsement
of the product by Telecom, nor does it provide any sort of warranty.
Above all, it provides no assurance that any item will work correctly in
all respects with another item of Telepermitted equipment of a different
make or model, nor does it imply that any product is compatible with all
of Telecom’s network services.
This equipment shall not be set to make automatic calls to the Telecom
“111” Emergency Service.
This equipment may not provide for the effective hand-over of a call to
another device connected to the same line.
This equipment should not be used under any circumstances that may
constitute a nuisance to other Telecom Customers. If the "send" switch is
used to boost or cut the send volume of a call, it must be returned to the
"0" position after that call.
REN (RN for New Zealand)
The REN (Ringer Equivalence Number) or (RN) is of significance only if you
wish to connect more than 1 telephone to your telephone line. A standard
telephone line has a maximum REN capacity of 3 (RN of 5). It is possible
to connect 3 devices with a REN of 1 (RN of 1) with no degradation to the
product’s performance. Exceeding this limit may cause the volume of the
ringer in any phone to decrease or not ring at all.
