Instructions to customer  
Installation  
Attached to this telephone is an approval label. This label is evidence that it is a  
“Permitted Attachment” which has been authorised to be connected to your  
telephone service.  
Conditions relating to connection and operation of this Permitted Attachment are  
contained in Telecommunications General By-Law 220 (5).  
You are authorised to install this Permitted Attachment yourself by plugging it into the  
line socket of any regular telephone. You may connect it in place of your existing  
telephone or to any spare telephone socket installed in your premises.  
To disconnect your existing telephone you must first remove its plug from the line  
socket. You can then insert the plug of your Permitted Attachment into the socket and  
use your equipment.  
If the plug of your existing telephone cannot be readily removed, you will have to  
remove the screw securing it. To do this proceed as follows:  
1
2
3
Loosen screw “A” sufficiently to remove the socket cover. (See Fig. 1.)  
Remove screw “B” and withdraw the plug. (See Fig. 2.)  
Replace screw “B”. (See Fig. 3.) Ensure that it screws completely into the socket  
recess. (If the screw is too long, increase the hole depth or replace the screw with  
one 5 mm shorter.)  
4
Replace socket cover and tighten screw “A”. (See Fig. 4.)

Preparation  
If you are satisfied with the operation of your telephone service after plugging in your  
Permitted Attachment, your installation is completed.  
You will be unable to connect this Permitted Attachment if your telephone service  
consists only of a wall phone or an old style telephone which is not connected by  
means of a modern plug and socket. In such cases a new socket will need to be  
installed.  
Should the Permitted Attachment not operate when plugged into a socket, it is either  
faulty or unsuitable for operation with your telephone service. It should be returned to  
the store where purchased or to an Authorised Service Centre.  
Service difficulties  
If at any time a fault occurs on your telephone service carry out the following checks  
before you call for service:  
L Disconnect the Permitted Attachment and try using the service with the normal  
telephone.  
L If the telephone service then operates satisfactorily, the fault is in your Permitted  
Attachment. Leave the Permitted Attachment disconnected and report the fault to  
its supplier or agent to arrange for repair.  
L If when using the telephone the service is still faulty, report the fault to “Service  
Difficulties and Faults” for attention.  
You are required to keep this Permitted Attachment in good working order while it is  
connected to your telephone service. Its construction or internal circuit must not be  
modified in any way without permission.  
Warning:  
This cordless telephone system does not incorporate provision for secrecy of  
conversations. Appropriately tuned radio equipment and other cordless telephone  
systems in close proximity may be used by a third party to monitor and possibly  
interrupt conversations in progress when this system is on radio operation.
