This may give apparent 'Low Loop' line test conditions. OFF-HOOK As with other modern press button telephones, the electronic keypad and transmission circuitry may appear to give High Resistance telephone loop test conditions. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION POWER REQUIREMENTS The keypads of Telephones No. 8401AR are line powered and required no external power supplies. Line current is drawn whilst the telephone is "on hook" to maintain stored number memory. The stored number memory will be cleared if the telephone is disconnected from line for longer than (typically) 10 minutes. There is no provision for memory retention batteries in Telephone No. 8401AR. RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE Telephone No. 8401AR is designed to incorporate good RFI immunity in the frequency range 50KHz to 200Mhz. FIELD OF USE Telephone No. 8401AR is suitable for use where customers need to access MF signalling data services (e.g. Voicebank and Message pager services) via Loop Disconnect pulsing network but may also be used to supersede existing Ambassador Telephones, where appropriate, when direct replacements are not available. The timed break recall facility will work satisfactorily on 70 Volt System X Lines. |
