Installing your Easicom 100
Emergency calls.
The emergency services can be contacted
in the UK by dialling 999. You may also
dial 112 which is valid in any country that
is a member of the European community.
You may not be able to make an emergency
call in certain situations:
• If the telephone is disconnected
• If the main and back-up batteries in the
organiser have run down
• If there is a fault on the line from your
phone or on the network
• If mains supply is switched off or power
adaptor is disconnected
If your Easicom 100 is connected to a
PBX (switchboard), you may have to dial
an access number before 999 to contact
the emergency services. Some switchboards
cannot dial out during a power failure.
IMPORTANT
Check that your Easicom 100
is complete.
When you unpack you should have:
Easicom 100 organiser.
Easicom 100 cradle (i.e., the base unit)
Plug-mounted mains adaptor.
4 x AAA alkaline batteries – two for the
organiser, two for the cradle
1 x CR1616 lithium battery for organiser.
User guide.
If you have a problem with your
Easicom 100 call the Easicom Helpline on
