If you have a Broadband line
If you connect your telephone to a line with a broadband
connection, you will need to insert a microfilter between
the telephone and the telephone line, otherwise you may
get interference between the telephone and the
broadband, which could cause problems.
In a home with broadband, every telephone must have a
microfilter connected, not just the one at the telephone
point that your modem is connected to. If you need more
broadband microfilters, contact your broadband supplier.
The base telephone and charger pod(s) should be placed
on a level surface, in a position where:
n the mains adapter plug will reach an easily accessible
230-V AC switched mains supply socket - never try
to lengthen the mains power cable
n the base unit’s telephone line cable will reach your
telephone line socket or extension socket (the charger
pod does not have a telephone line connection)
n it is not close to another telephone — this can cause
radio interference
n it is not close to a sink, bath or shower, or anywhere
else where it might get wet.
if the base comes into contact with liquids,
disconnect from the mains power and the telephone
line and use a soft cloth to dry it;
if you believe that the liquid has seeped into the unit,

Connection and conditions for use:
You can connect this phone to a direct exchange line
(DEL) or to an approved compatible private exchange
(PBX). Do not connect the Big Button Combo as an
extension to a payphone.
The ringer equivalence number (REN) of all instruments
(phones, fax machines, modems, 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 Big Button Combo REN=1, and most other
telephones have a REN=1 unless otherwise marked.
