5 The grant of a Telepermit for any item of terminal equipment indicates only that Telecom has accepted that the item complies with 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.
6 This equipment does not fully meet Telecom’s impedance requirements. Performance  limitations may occur when used in conjunction with some parts of the network. Telecom will 
accept no responsibility should difficulties arise in such circumstances.
7 If a charge for local calls is acceptable, the “Dial Button” should not be used for local calls. Only  the 7-digits of the local number should be dialled from your telephone. DO NOT dial the area 
code digit or the “0 ” prefix.
8 This equipment shall not be set to make automatic calls to the Telecom ‘111 ’ Emergency  Service.
9 This equipment should not be used under any circumstances which may constitute a nuisance  to other Telecom customers.
10 Not all telephones will respond to incoming ringing when connected to the extension socket.
11 The answer delay setting of this equipment shall not be set to less than the default setting as  this will destroy Caller ID information.
12 All persons using this device for recording telephone conversations shall comply with New  Zealand law. This requires that at least one party to the conversation is to be aware that it is 
being recorded. In addition, the Principles enumerated in the Privacy Act 1993 shall be 
complied with in respect to the nature of the personal information collected, the purpose for its 
collection, how it is to be used and what it disclosed to any other party.

21 Never push objects of any kind into this product through cabinet slots, since they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts resulting in a risk of fire or electric shock. Never 
spill liquid of any kind on the product.
22 DO NOT attempt to service this product yourself, because opening or removing covers may  expose you to dangerous voltage points and/or other risks. Refer all servicing to service

„ If the power cord is damaged or frayed.
„ If liquid has been spilled into the product.
„  If the product has been exposed to rain or water.

24 This unit will only work in conjunction with a tone signalling (DTMF) telephone, but some  telephones are not compatible. Since noise or speech from the telephone can upset dialling 
from this unit, errors may result if the devices are used together in other than quiet conditions.
25 Where it is necessary to dial prefix digits, such as a Caller Display override code (“0196 ” or  “0197 ”), this unit will have to be used in conjunction with an associated tone signalling (DTMF) 
telephone.
26 Note that some telephones are not compatible with this unit and dialling errors may result if the  two devices are used together in other than quiet conditions. The Telecom Faults Service is 
not to be called should such problems arise. In such cases, it is recommended that the prefix 
and wanted number are dialled manually.
27 This equipment may not provide for the effective hand-over of a call to another device  connected to the same line.
28 This equipment is not capable, under all operating conditions, of correct operation at the higher  speeds for which it is designed. Telecom will accept no responsibility should difficulties arise 
in such circumstances. This condition typically applies to 56 kbit/s modems and facsimile 
machines operating at >14.4 kbit/s.
29 When using the Caller Line Identification incorporated in this device, verify the integrity of the  recorded digits prior to dialling.

30 Some parameters required for compliance with Telecom’s Telepermit requirements are dependent on the equipment (PC) associated with this device. The associated equipment shall 
be set to operate within the following limits for compliance with Telecom’s Specifications:
„ There shall be no more than 10 call attempts to the same number within any 30 minute 
period for any single manual call initiation, and
„ The equipment shall go on-hook for a period of not less than 30 seconds between the end 
of one attempt and the beginning of the next call attempt.
„ Automatic calls to different numbers are spaced such that there is not less than 5 seconds 
between the end of one call attempt and the beginning of another.
„ Equipment shall be set to ensure that calls are answered within 3 and 30 seconds of the 
receipt of ringing.
31 In the event of any problem with this device, it is to be disconnected, and a CPE item connected  to one of its terminal ports may be connected directly in its place. The user should then arrange 
for the product to be repaired. Should the matter be reported to Telecom as a wiring fault and 
the fault is proven to be due to this product, a call out charge will be incurred by the customer.
32 The caller ID telephone numbers that are displayed and stored in this equipment include the  caller’s area code but not the toll access “0” prefix. When calling back it is necessary to add a 
“0“ to the telephone number, or if the telephone number is a local number, omit the area code 
digit. If the toll services of a service provider other than Telecom are being used then a toll 
charge may be incurred if the “0” prefix toll access code and area code are used.
IMPORTANT NOTICEA
Under power failure conditions, this telephone may not operate. Please ensure that a separate 
telephone, not dependent on local power, is available for emergency use in emergencies.
