MARKETING POLICY
(1) The Dawn telephone will be nationally available in March 1981. Active market
stimulation should be undertaken, and it should be included in all locally organised
promotional activities for the Special Range. Customers making general enquiries should be
given details of the DAWN along with information about other SRT. Arrangements have been
made for supply of telephones for publicity/promotional purposes.
(2) Publicity leaflets (PH) are in preparation. New editions of PH 2525 and PH 2525A will
be available for requisition and when received all old stocks should be made waste as they
will no longer show the complete range.
TARIFF
Single payment charge - £18
Additional quarterly rental - £2
Insurance value - £90.00
Normal terms and conditions for SRT apply.
SALES PROCEDURES
The procedures in TI B3 N0001 apply to this telephone. For statistical purposes it should
be included in form A4323 (SRT) on line ten. Like other SRT it should be included in the
Appointment Plan (code APC) subject to local resources and inclusion of an appropriate
time allowance for preparation of telephone number labels and stores procedures.
INSTALLATION
The DAWN is connected via a captive plug and socket (Jack 96A). Installation methods are
described in diagrams in the N49xx series.
STORES
These telephones may now be requisitioned. Nomenclature is shown above and stores
procedures are given in THQ Circular S1 G8010.
TELEPHONE NUMBER LABEL
(1) The DAWN requires a circular telephone number label which is smaller than the standard
dial Centre label. Special labels, printed on individual white cards measuring 105 mm x
148 mm and perforated for easy removal, will be used. Initial supplies of label cards have
been sent to PE Reprographic Unit, Harrogate (PE/RS/U2.3), and Area Drawing Offices.
Additional supplies may be obtained from SRT Management Group, THQ/ME/RCS. The procedures
given in TI C3 B1060 should be used to obtain prepared labels. Instructions for inserting
labels follow.
(2) INSERTING LABEL. DAWN telephones are normally received with the dial finger
plate detached. When it is necessary to first remove the finger plate the
procedures following must be adhered to:-
Turn the dial in a clockwise direction to its full extent. Hold the dial in this position
and insert a suitable round implement (e.g. the end of an open paperclip) into the small
hole in the finger plate which is now alongside the finger stop. Press down firmly on the
implement and at the same time pull the finger plate further in a clockwise direction
until the catch on the underside of the finger plate is released. Allow the dial to return
to rest. When it stops the finger plate can be lifted from the dial.
Insert the telephone number label, making sure that the notch in the label is aligned with
the projection on the side of the label recess. Refit the finger plate by placing it on
the dial with the zero hole over the figure nine. Press down firmly on the finger plate
and at the same time turn it in an anti-clockwise direction. The plate will lock into
place with an audible click.
MAINTENANCE
The DAWN telephone should be maintained in accordance with TI E5 B2001. It is class two
for maintenance purposes with no replaceable parts and faulty telephones should be
replaced.
