ly treated furniture.

your Ergophone 12.

This is on the assumption that the telephone's connections are
a normal pair of telephone cable connections. This is the case if
the telephone complies with regulations TBR21 or ETSI ES 203
021. In the event that the "earth" and "alarm" contacts are used
on your telephone socket, you must only use a two-core tele-
phone cable.
Alternatively, you may insert the dialler as an accessory unit into the
"N" jack or " " (Austria). Please use a standard plug adaptor (not in-
cluded in the scope of delivery).
