Although this equipment can use either loop disconnect or DTMF signalling, only the performance

of the DTMF signalling is subject to regulatory requirements for correct operation. It is therefore

strongly recommended that the equipment is set to use DTMF signalling for access to public or

private emergency services. DTMF signalling also provides faster call set up.

This CE Marking shows compliance of this equipment with Directive 73/23/EEC and Directive

89/336/EEC (as amended by Directive 92/31/EEC), both as amended by Directive 93/68/EEC.
