Connection
and conditions
for use
You can connect your MD 1600 to a direct exchange
line (DEL) — a line connected to a local exchange, with
its own phone number; to an extension socket con-
nected to a DEL; or to an extension on an approved
compatible PBX. Do not connect the MD 1600 as an
extension to a payphone.
How many
phones can you
connect?
The
ringer equivalence numbers (RENs)
of all
instruments (phones, fax machines, etc.) connected to
an exchange line
must not add up to more than 4
—
otherwise, one or more of them may not ring and/or
answer calls correctly. The MD 1600 has a REN of 1
(this is not affected by having more than one handset),
and most other telephones have a REN of 1 unless
marked otherwise.
Choosing a site
for the base
unit and
charger pod
The base unit and charger pod should each be placed
on a level surface, in a position where:
■
the mains adapter plug will reach an easily accessible
230-V
AC
switched mains supply socket —
never try
to lengthen the mains power cable
■
the
telephone line cable
will reach your telephone
line socket or extension socket (base unit only;
charger pods have no connection to the telephone
line)
■
it is
not close to another telephone
— this can
cause radio interference during calls
■
it is
not close to a sink, bath or shower
, or
anywhere else where it might get wet
■
it is
not close to other electrical equipment
—
fridges, washing machines, microwave ovens, TVs,
fluorescent lights, etc.
