Use of EasyPhoneUse the telephone in a normal manner. An acousticsignal indicates the activation of the EasyPhoneprogram. At the beginning, you may need to move thehandset slightly to find the optimum position for areliable switching and comfortable hearing.

If necessary, move the magnet to another position onthe handset to increase your comfort of use.

Keep magnets out of reach of children and pets.If a magnet is swallowed, please seek the adviceof a medical practitioner.The magnet used to strengthen the magneticfield of your phone may affect some medicaldevices or electronic systems.Always keep the magnet (or the telephoneequipped with the magnet) at least 30 cm (12”)away from pacemakers, credit cards, floppy disksor other magnetically sensitive devices.Too high distortion during dialing or phoningmay mean that the phone receiver is stressed bythe magnet. To avoid any damage, please movethe magnet to another place on the telephonereceiver.
