Winsbergring 15, 22525 Hamburg, Germany
For Users in Australia and the United Kingdom
RThis unit is capable of being used in conjunction with hearing
aids fitted with inductive coil pick-ups. The handset should be
held as for normal conversation. For operation, the hearing aid
should be set to its "T" position or as directed in the operating
instructions for the hearing aid.
RThis unit is designed to aid the visually handicapped to locate dial keys and
buttons.
For Users in the United Kingdom
RThis unit is designed to be installed under controlled conditions of ambient
temperature and a relative humidity.
RAvoid installing the unit in damp or humid environments, such as bathrooms or
swimming pools.
R999 and 112 can be dialed on the product after accessing the outside line for the
purpose of making outgoing calls to the BT emergency (999) and (112) services.
For users in New Zealand
RThis equipment shall not be set to make automatic calls to the Telecom ‘111’

PTC General Warning
RThe grant of a Telepermit for any item of terminal equipment indicates only that

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
3
Important Information

Telepermitted equipment of a different make or model, nor does it imply that any
product is compatible with all of Telecom’s network services.
The Use of IP Networks through the PSTN
RInternet Protocol (IP) by its nature introduces delay into speech signals as each
data packet is formulated and addressed. Telecom Access Standards
recommends that suppliers, designers and installers using this technology for
calls to or from the PSTN refer to ITU E Model requirements in the design of
their networks. The overall aim is to minimize delay, distortion and other
transmission impairments, particularly for those calls involving cellular and
international networks, which already suffer extensive delay.
Echo cancellation
REcho cancelers are not normally required in the Telecom PSTN because
geographic delays are acceptable where CPE return loss is maintained within
Telepermit limits. However, those private networks making use of Voice over IP
technology are required to provide echo cancellation for all voice calls. The
combined effect of audio / VoIP conversion delay and IP routing delay can cause
the echo cancellation time of ³ 64 ms to be required.
