5. PABX & System Usage
This telephone can be used behind a PABX or on a network 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
Before you attempt to change the recall switch, labelled TBR ER, see (Figure
4&5), you should disconnect the phone from the network.
You will need a screwdriver, or similar tool to remove the cover plate over
the switch. Simply slide the Switch marked TBR ER to the appropriate setting
( the factory default is TBR ). If you are unsure which setting is applicable,
please consult your PABX manager or supplier. Do not adjust the switch
marked N, S2, S1.
Replace the cover, 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 (see page 7
Pause and Redial function of this manual ).

Voice messaging
When used behind a PABX, this telephone will respond to voice messaging
systems on many PABX types, giving a visual signal of a message waiting.
Your telephone manager will be aware of which system is relevant to your
organisation and will adjust or advise you on the adjustment of your
telephone accordingly.
This adjustment is carried out by means of a switch, labelled N/S2/S1 ,
located next to the recall switch, mentioned above. As supplied, the
telephone is set to the N (normal) position. Under no circumstances should
this Voice messaging switch (Figure 4) be set at the S1 or S2 without the
approval of your telecoms manager. In either of the S positions, the
telephone must NOT be connected directly to a public network line.
(Technical note : S1 and S2 are for reverse polarity messaging systems. With
such a system in use, if the telephone does not respond in the S1 position,
switch it to the S2 position and it should then respond.
Some PABXs require a certain level of software and/or hardware within the
switch. If your telephone appears not to work, make sure that you have the
correct software/hardware installed).
6. Maintenance and Problem Solving
Your telephone is a precision electronic instrument. Avoid rough handling and
extreme temperatures. Use a mild detergent and a damp cloth when cleaning.
Never use a stronger cleaner.
If your telephone does not appear to be working correctly, please check the
following :
No Dialling tone - Is phone cord properly connected to the wall
socket?
Will not ring - ringer switch is set to off?

10
- REN number may exceed 4, for all telephones
connected to the line. Disconnect a phone until
the number is below 4.
If there are still problems, and you have more than one telephone:
Remove the problem phone. Insert another phone and check that it works.
If yes then the problem phone is possibly faulty. If not, then you may
have a faulty line. Try using the other socket and see which phones work.
If you do have a faulty line then you should contact your Network Supplier.
You should however be aware that if you request them to repair a fault that
is found not to be theirs, then they are entitled to charge you for a visit.
In the event that you still have problems then you should consult your
supplier.
7. Warranty and Service
This product is guaranteed, by Interquartz (UK) Limited, for six years from
the date of manufacture.
Every Interquartz telephone has a unique serial number and part of that
number refers to the date of manufacture. A label, similar to that shown
below is affixed to each telephone
0111 030852
(model no)
The figure 0111 means that the telephone was made during week 11 (12
March) 2001. The six year warranty, cover will apply until 12 March 2007.
A warranty is designed to cover either manufacturing faults or component
defects. It is not designed to cover fair wear and tear. The Interquartz
warranty is no exception.
We look to you, our customer, to be reasonable and sensible over the
warranty. We will endeavour to repair any telephone sent in to us within the
warranty period but we reserve the right to charge for items that we consider

replaceable under wear and tear. For example, if a handset cord splits within
a few months, it will be replaced. If a phone is returned after, say, four years
of heavy use with a similar problem, we might take a different view and wish
to charge.
If you have a genuine warranty problem and provided that the warranty seal
has not been broken, we will either repair your telephone, or, at our sole
discretion, replace it with a similar telephone. In the event that a model may
have been discontinued, any replacement would have similar or enhanced
features.
If you need to return a faulty unit to us, send it to:
Interquartz (UK) Limited
Pennine House
Salford Street
Bury
BL9 6YA
Make sure that you tell us what is wrong with the phone.
DO NOT FORGET TO INCLUDE YOUR OWN NAME AND ADDRESS.
We ask that you bear the cost of returning the telephone to us. We will return
it to you, at our expense.
This warranty is in addition to any statutory rights.
