KEYPAD FAILURE
Early models tended to suffer keypad failure if used in areas of high humidity, models produced after September 1986 have encapsulated keypad PCBs and should not suffer from this problem.

999 - ONLY MODIFICATION
Dial version Weatherproof telephones could be fitted with 'Dial - 9 only dials' (Dials Automatic No. 28 FA) to provide 999 only facilities if required by customers.
There is no 999 only keypad for press button Weatherproof telephones, 999 only facilities may be provided on these telephones by the following means:-
(a) Exchange based Call Barring facility (e.g. as available on System X).
(b) Connection via customer provided approved 'Call Barring Unit'.
(c) Removal of all keypad buttons except digit '9' and fitting a blanking plate for the removed buttons.
Method (c) is an approved modification for Telephones 6744 and 6745, and should be carried out in a suitable workshop environment. The recovered buttons should be bagged up and safely stored inside the telephone and the telephone case clearly marked '999 CALLS ONLY' for users to see. Blanking plates may be made up locally as shown overleaf, to fit between the existing escutcheon plate and the keypad.
