It should not be used in bathrooms or near water. Approval number BABT Certificate Number/Approval Number for the DECTfax 608595 APPROVED for connection to telecommunication system specified in the instructions for use subject to the conditions set out in them. Approval for use This apparatus has been approved for the use of the following facilities: Terminal and subscriber identifier Transmission status report (send report only) Manual mode (associated telephone set) Auto/Manual-answering Fax switch Polling RX (to poll a document from a distant fax) Polling TX (prepare a document to be polled) Delayed transmission – Time recorder and logs Modem fax up to 9600 bps Auto calling Automatic redial (5 times, 5 minutes intervals) Facsimile transmission and reception Calls progressing mode Series connection (TAM) Automatic document feeder 16 shades of grey DECT Any other usage will invalidate the approval of the apparatus if as a result, it then ceases to conform to the standards against which approval was granted. You may connect it – • To direct exchange lines. • To extensions with new plug and socket arrangements provided with these direct exchange lines. • To compatible switchboards. You may NOT connect it – • To shared service (party) lines. The connection to the telecommunication system must be unplugged before the earth is disconnected. The connection to the telecommunication system must not be hardwired. This apparatus may be used on telecommunications systems employing loop disconnect or MF signalling. Ringing delay The maximum number of rings before automatic answering is 9. How many phones you can have Your exchange line provides only a small current to make your telephone ring. Although you may have any number of sockets it is important to limit the number of telephones and other items of apparatus connected to the line by these sockets. This ensures that each telephone will receive enough current to ring. Every telephone or item of apparatus has a Ringer Equivalence Number (REN). In most cases a standard line should provide enough current for two or more telephones or items of apparatus, if the REN’s add up to no more than 4. DECTfax has a REN of 1. Any telephone provided by BT may be assumed to have a REN of 1 unless otherwise stated on the base. Even where the number of telephones has been limited, there is no guarantee that the different types of telephone on the same line will ring. Technical information Voltage Drop The voltage drop introduced between the PSTN and the associated telephone is 2.0 Volts so therefore no additional series equipment may be connected. The introduction of this voltage drop may occasionally cause difficulties in making calls from the associated telephone or problems in telephone conversation being experienced by both parties to the call. While operation may be possible initially, change to or modernisation of the network taking place in the normal course of events may result in the apparatus being connected to be compatible, failure of the apparatus to work under these circumstances 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 apparatus. Note The definition of RBS (Relevant branch system) for PSTN lines is given in BS6789 section 6.1 (1986) clause 2.4. Connecting to switchboards Your DECTfax is approved only for use with a compatible switchboard including those which do not provide secondary proceed indication. If you do have a compatible switchboard, it cannot be guaranteed that the DECTfax will operate correctly under all possible conditions of connection. If you have any difficulties, contact BT on Freefone 0800 800 152 for business Customers or Freefone 0800 800 150 for residential customers (9am to 5pm Monday to Friday). Warning This equipment is not designed for making telephone calls when the power fails. Alternative arrangements should be made for access to emergency services. Safety warnings 1 Interconnection circuits should be such that the equipment continues to comply with the requirements of 4.2 of EN 41003 for TNV circuits and 2.3 of EN 60950 for SELV circuits, after making connections between circuits. 2 Interconnection directly, or by way of other apparatus, of ports marked “Safety Warning. See instructions for use” with ports marked or not so marked may produce hazardous conditions on the network. Advice should be obtained from a competent engineer before such a connection is made. 3 When you operate this equipment, the electrical mains socket should be near the equipment and be easily accessible. Warning To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this product to rain or any type of moisture. How to connect the mains lead to a plug Your apparatus comes complete with fitted plug. If however, it becomes necessary to fit an alternative mains plug, the following instructions must be adhered to. Note The wires in the mains lead are coloure...
