MEDC Weatherproof FernTel - Manual (Page 4)

General operating notes
1. The versions of FernTel 3 can be operated in the analogue, public telephone network
and connected to analogue terminals of branch exchanges.
2. The receiver is equipped with a leakage field spool for coupling of hearing aids. Users
of a hearing aid with inductive receiver may receive the signal from the receiver inset
directly.
3. The version without keypad does not offer you all the performance features available
in other versions.
4. The telephone has a receiver accommodation with a magnetic contact as hook
switch. To terminate an existing connection, the receiver must be replaced. For
disconnecting an existing connection, all you need to do is press the disconnect key
on the keypad.
5. When programming the settings, the handset must be off the hook. On the version
with 16 keys, you enter programming mode by simultaneously pressing the asterisk
and the hash key. For the version with 21 keys and a display, programming takes
place in the Select menu, which appears when the key is pressed.
6. If a procedure has been completed successfully, you will hear an acknowledgement
signal. An error tone informs you of any operating mistakes.
7. Should more than 2 minutes pass before you start dialling, the exchange may cut off
the power supply. The dial tone can no longer be heard. In this case you should put
the handset back on the hook and wait approximately 2 seconds before you lift it
again. Programming sessions that have been started, but have not been completed,
must be repeated.
8. If you get a call, the FernTel 3 rings with the volume and melody you have chosen.
The display version also signals the incoming call in the display.
9. Entering your personal identification number (PIN) you may partly or completely
restrict functions and settings. Forgetting your PIN can be compared to losing a key.
If you have forgotten your PIN, please contact our technical support service.
