Comdial strives to design the features in our communications systems to
be fully interactive with one another. However, this is not always possible,
as the combinations of accessories and features are too varied and extensive
to insure total feature compatibility. Accordingly, some features identified
in this publication will not operate if some other feature is activated.
Comdial disclaims all liability relating to feature non-compatibility or
associated in any way with problems which may be encountered by
incompatible features. Notwithstanding anything contained in this
publication to the contrary, Comdial makes no representation herein as to
the compatibility of features.
