REN number
The R N number of this telephone is 1.
If you wish to connect any other equipment to the line, simply add the R N
numbers of each piece together and ensure that the total does not exceed 4.
If too many phones are connected to the line, the circuit may be overloaded
and your telephone may not ring.
Not all telephones have the same R N. If a British Telecom phone is supplied
unmarked, you can assume that it has a R N of 1
Han sfree speaking / On hook ialling
This telephone is designed to work on most telephone lines by drawing power
from the line. However, when using the on-hook dial facility or the loudspeaking
facility, there are some instances where the power available may not be
sufficient to provide an adequate performance.
This telephone requires the use of batteries for memory back up ( see
Figure 2 ) and, in the event of insufficient line power, the batteries also
provide an additional power source for loudspeaking operation.
Emergency calls
"999" calls can be made on this telephone, for the purpose of making calls to
the emergency service. An access code may also be required, if the phone
is connected to a PABX.
Au ible tones
This telephone is provided with a "valid" and an "invalid" audible tone.
Whenever a button is pressed following a valid operation, e.g. dialling a
number from memory, a short high pitched sound will be heard. If an incorrect
operation is attempted, e.g. pressing a memory button when no memory is
present, then a low pitched sound will be heard.

2. Installation
This telephone is designed to plug straight into a modular style socket. If you
do not have one of these sockets, they can be obtained from your Network
Supplier. A card is included for this purpose. Simply complete it and send it
to your Network Supplier.
Batteries
This telephone requires 4 AA battery cells ( provided separately ) to retain
the memories in the event that the telephone is disconnected from the line.
To insert the batteries, first ensure that the telephone is disconnected from
the telephone line.
If replacing old batteries, make sure that the telephone handset remains on
the cradle when the telephone is turned upside down and you should find
that you will not lose any memories that have previously been programmed.

label marked " WARNING: Unplug the connection to the network before
opening this cover ". You will need to insert a small pointed tool in the hole
next to the compartment. Press down and slide the battery compartment
out. Insert the four AA batteries making sure that they are the correct way
round, replace the compartment and connect the telephone to the network.
You should check the state of the batteries at least once a year making sure
that you follow the above procedure. If there is any sign of corrosion, the
batteries must be replaced.
NOTE : After replacing the batteries it may be necessary to reprogram your
direct access memories (see Section 4).
If your telephone is connected to a PABX or to a network system using recall
facilities, read Section 5 otherwise proceed to the following paragraphs.

4. Operating Instructions
Manual ialling
Lift the handset, listen for the dial tone and then dial the required number
using the keypad. The number called will appear on the LCD.
On hook ialling
In this mode, telephone calls can be made without lifting the handset and the
progress of calls can be monitored. Once the calling party answers the
phone you MUST either lift the handset or press the speakerphone button to
conduct the conversation.
- Press on hook dial button and the dial tone will be heard in the monitor
speaker.
- Dial the required number on the keypad
- Monitor the call's progress, through the speaker
- Lift the handset or press the speakerphone button when the called party
answers the phone
- The call is terminated by replacing the handset or by pressing the
speakerphone button.
In on-hook dialling mode the telephone will monitor the call progress. If the
called party does not answer, then the telephone will automatically release
the line after approximately 60 seconds. A warning tone, of two short beeps,
sounds 5 seconds before line release and the calling time can be extended
by pressing the pause button.
If you wish to terminate a busy call or a non-answered call, before the
telephone does so automatically, simply press the off-hook button.

12
Speakerphone ialling
The speakerphone can be used for manual dialling in much the same way
as the off-hook dialling method :
- Press the speakerphone button and the dial tone will be heard in the
speaker.
- Dial the required number on the keypad
- When the called party answers the phone, continue to speak using the
microphone in the telephone or pick up the handset, if you so wish. With
the handset in use it is possible to revert to speakerphone use by pressing
the speakerphone button B FOR replacing the handset.
NOTE : if using the handset and the speakerphone button is pressed to
revert to speakerphone operation, both the handset and the
speakerphone microphones are muted until the handset is replaced.
- The call is terminated by replacing the handset on the cradle or by pressing
the Speakerphone button.
The telephone will continue to ring an unanswered number until the call is
terminated by pressing the speakerphone button.
Memory ialling
The ten single touch memory buttons are simply pressed once to access the
memory stored behind the button.
With the five one- and two-touch memories, the button is pressed once to
access the " first page " and twice in quick succession, to access the " second
page ".
It is possible to store just telephone numbers in the memories but you can
make speed dialled calls directly from the memory, by storing facility codes
(see below).

13
When using the memory facilities, this telephone has two audible beeps to
advise you of a correct entry - "high tone" or an incorrect entry - "low tone".
If you make an incorrect entry, check your error and re-input the information.
When entering numbers into these direct access memories you should ensure
that you have programmed them correctly, by checking the LCD display.
After replacing the batteries, it may be necessary to reprogram these
memories.
Storing an "ordinary" telephone number in memory
- press the store button
- enter the telephone number ( if your telephone is behind a PABX, it may be
necessary to insert a pause after the access code. This is storable in the
memory.
Alternatively, you may have programmed your telephone for automatic pause
insertion - see Section 5 - in which case a pause is not necessary when
storing a number in memory ).
- press the required memory button, once to store in the "first page" / only
page or twice to store in the "second page".
Dialling an "ordinary" telephone number from memory
- lift the handset or press the speakerphone key
- press the appropriate memory key either once or twice ( depending on
where you stored the number )
- proceed with the call as outlined in the previous sections
Spee ialling
To make the most use of the facilities available on this telephone, particularly
when used behind a PABX, this is the recommended method of storing
numbers and of using the memories.

14
The memories are capable of storing
the numbers 0-9, #, *, pause, tone, timed break recall, off-hook, handsfree.
If a number in memory begins with an off-hook or a speakerphone code, the
associated button becomes a speed dialling button. Pressing the button will
turn on the monitor in either handsfree or speakerphone mode. The dial
tone will be heard and the number will be dialled. The call will proceed as
outlined in the previous sections.
To store a Speed dial number
- press store button
- press ITH R off-hook button OR speakerphone button
- press pause button once ( if necessary )
- enter the telephone number ( if your telephone is behind a PABX, it may be
necessary to insert a pause after the access code. This is storable in the
memory. Alternatively, you may have programmed your telephone for
automatic pause insertion - see Section 5 - in which case a pause is not
necessary when storing a number in memory ).
- press the required memory button, once for storing in the "first page" or
twice for storing in the "second page"
To dial a Speed dial number
With the handset resting on the cradle, press the required memory button
once, or twice - depending on the location of the number.
If the speakerphone code was used in the memory, simply start the
conversation when the call is answered. If the off-hook code was used in the
memory, the handset will have to be lifted ( or the speakerphone button
pressed ) for the conversation to begin.
To terminate the call either replace the handset or press the speaker phone
button.

15
Casca e ialling
It is possible to dial a number that is contained in more than one memory
location or for which you want to dial part of the number manually.
e.g. for a very long number split between memory locations 1 and 2
- obtain a dial tone
- press memory button 1
- press memory button 2
the telephone will now dial a number consisting of the contents of both memory
1 and memory 2
Mixe ialling
It is possible, if your telephone is connected to a pulse exchange, to carry
out mixed mode dialling. If you have a tone exchange, mixed dialling is not
necessary.
Access to home banking facilities, to computers and to some remote
answering machines requires the use of tones rather than pulse dialled
numbers.
To initiate a mixed mode dialled number :
- dial the first part of the number ( in pulse, because this is how your telephone
set will be switched - see Section 3 )
- press the tone button (a pause of 3.6 seconds will be automatically inserted)
and dial the remainder of the number. This will now be sent out in tone
format.
- at the end of the call replace the handset or press the speakerphone button.
The telephone will revert to normal pulse dialling format.

16
It is possible to store mixed dialling format numbers in the memory. Simply
follow the above procedure, pressing the tone key at the appropriate place.
Re ialling
The telephone number stored in the temporary re-dial buffer will NOT include
the off-hook or the Speakerphone codes if these were input manually before
a call was made.
Simple redial and mixed format redial
To redial the last number, obtain a dialling tone and press the redial key.
Redial of a Speed dialled number
If a speed dialled number is the last number dialled, the redial button becomes
a speed dial button. Simply press the redial key. The telephone will proceed
to dial, using either the off-hook code or the speakerphone code - whichever
was stored with the original number.

5. PA X and System Usage
This telephone can be used behind a PABX or on a network system that
utilises the recall function. There are many such systems and whilst it is
likely that no problems will be encountered, it cannot be guaranteed that the
telephone will operate correctly under all circumstances and any cases of
difficulty should be referred to your supplier.
Recall
This telephone is supplied set to Timed Break Recall. If your system has an
arth Recall, the PBX recall switch will need to be reset.
Before you attempt to change the recall switch ( see Figure 1 ), you should
disconnect the phone from the network, if you have so connected it.
You will need a small screwdriver, or similar pointed tool, to remove the clear
plastic cover plate and the single touch memory location card. With the tool
you can then adjust the switch to the setting required.
If you are unsure as to which recall setting is applicable, please consult your
PABX manager or supplier.
Note : there are some other switches beneath this cover. Do NOT adjust
them as they will affect the memory operation of the telephone.
Replace the covers, plug the phone back into the socket and it is ready for
use.
PABX access
Where a PABX access digit is required to obtain a direct outside line, it may
be necessary to insert a pause after dialling the access digit, but ( see also
Section 3 ).

18
Automatic pause insertion
If your PABX requires a pause after dialling the outside line access code, this
can be inserted automatically by programming the telephone.
e.g. If the access code is "9", the telephone can be programmed in the
following way
- press store
- press "9"
- press store
- press " * "
Whenever a telephone number that begins with the access code is dialled -
"9" in this example - a 3.6 second pause will automatically be inserted after
the access code has been dialled.
To cancel this feature
- press store
- press store
- press " * "
Voice Messaging
When used behind a PABX, this telephone will respond to voice messaging
systems on specific PABX types. Your telephone manager should be able to
advise you.
As supplied, the telephone will respond to high voltage message signalling.
If your system provides reverse polarity message signalling, then the follow-
ing action will have to be taken before your telephone will operate correctly.
Refer to figure 1 on page (6). Remove the telephone from the line and then
remove the lower memory overlay card.
The switch marked S/N should be moved from "N" to position "S". When the
telephone is connected to line and voice message signals are received, the
message light should flash or stay on( system dependent ).

19
If for some reason the message light, a bright red L D, comes on with NO
message signals received, remove the telephone from the line and adjust
the switch marked S1/S2 from the S1 position to the S2 position. When re-
connected, the telephone should now function correctly.
It must be pointed out that various PABX types have individual system
requirements in order for visual message waiting signals to be detected. If
there is a signal present, the telephone will detect it. If there is no signal,
then it will not be detected! If in any doubt, please refer to your telephone
manager or to your supplier.
