Important information

The user’s telephone MUST BE connected to the Novo 
telephone socket - a double adapter on the incoming line must 
not be used.

If the user has a DECT telephone the base station MUST BE 
at least 2 metres away from the Novo. Failure to provide this 
separation may result in reduced range of personal pendants or 
other radio devices.

All telephone equipment has a Ringer Equivalence Number 
(REN) which is used to calculate the number of items that can 
be connected to a single telephone line. A REN of 4 is the 
maximum allowed on a standard UK telephone line. The Novo 
has a REN of 1.If the REN total of all equipment connected to a 
telephone line exceeds 4, the equipment maynot operate 
correctly. With different types of equipmentthere is no 
guarantee of correctoperation even if the REN is less than 4. 
Typically 1 or 2 standard telephones (REN1) can beused with 
the Novo.

Avoid using strong detergents or polish when cleaning the Novo 
base unit or Vibby Fall Sensor. Wipe clean with a damp cloth 
and polish with a dry duster. Do not leave Novo unit in direct 
sunlight or near a heat source.
