General Information
Notes for operation in New Zealand
The grant of a Telepermit for any item of terminal equipment indicates
only that Telecom has accepted that the item complies with the minimum
conditions for connection to its network. It indicates no endorsement
of the product by Telecom, nor does it provide any sort of warranty.
Above all, it provides no assurance that any item will work correctly in
all respects with another item of Telepermitted equipment of a different
make or model, nor does it imply that any product is compatible with all
of Telecom’s network services.
This equipment shall not be set to make automatic calls to the Telecom
“111” Emergency Service.
This equipment may not provide for the effective hand-over of a call to
another device connected to the same line.
This equipment should not be used under any circumstances that may
constitute a nuisance to other Telecom Customers. If the "send" switch is
used to boost or cut the send volume of a call, it must be returned to the
"0" position after that call.
REN (RN for New Zealand)
The REN (Ringer Equivalence Number) or (RN) is of signicance only if you
wish to connect more than 1 telephone to your telephone line. A standard
telephone line has a maximum REN capacity of 3 (RN of 5). It is possible
to connect 3 devices with a REN of 1 (RN of 1) with no degradation to the
product’s performance. Exceeding this limit may cause the volume of the
ringer in any phone to decrease or not ring at all.
