In the case of a power failure or disruption, you may need to reset or reconfigure equipment before using the Service or Emergency Calling Service dialing.

Regulatory Domains

The radio frequency (RF) for the handset is controlled by the base station. The base station is configured for a specific regulatory domain. If you use this system outside of the specific regulatory domain, the system will not function properly, and you might violate local regulations.

Health-Care Environments

This product is not a medical device and uses an unlicensed frequency band that is susceptible to interference from other devices or equipment.

External Devices Usage

The following information applies when you use external devices with the DECT handset.

Cisco recommends the use of good quality external devices (such as headsets) that are shielded against unwanted radio frequency (RF) and audio frequency (AF) signals.

Depending on the quality of these devices and their proximity to other devices such as mobile phones or two-way radios, some audio noise may still occur. In these cases, Cisco recommends that you take one or more of the following actions:

  • Move the external device away from the source of the RF or AF signals.

  • Route the external device cables away from the source of the RF or AF signals.

  • Use shielded cables for the external device, or use cables with a better shield and connector.

  • Shorten the length of the external device cable.

  • Apply ferrites or other such devices on the cables for the external device.

Cisco cannot guarantee the performance of the system because Cisco has no control over the quality of external devices, cables, and connectors. The system will perform adequately when suitable devices are attached using good quality cables and connectors.


Caution


In European Union countries, use only external headsets that are fully compliant with the EMC Directive [89/336/EC].


System Behavior During Times of Network Congestion

Anything that degrades network performance can affect phone system voice quality, and in some cases, can cause a call to drop. Sources of network degradation can include, but are not limited to, the following activities:

  • Administrative tasks, such as an internal port scan or security scan

  • Attacks that occur on your network, such as a Denial of Service attack

Compliance Statements for New Zealand

Permit to Connect (PTC) General Warning

The grant of a Telepermit for any item of terminal equipment indicates only that Spark NZ has accepted that the item complies with minimum conditions for connection to its network. It indicates no endorsement of the product by Spark NZ, nor does it provide any sort of warranty. Above all, it provides no assurance that any item will work correctly in all respects with another item of Telepermitted equipment of a different make or model, nor does it imply that any product is compatible with all of Spark NZ network services.

Use of IP Networks with the PSTN

Internet Protocol (IP) by its nature introduces delay into speech signals as each data packet is formulated and addressed. Spark NZ Access Standards recommends that suppliers, designers and installers using this technology for calls to or from the PSTN refer to ITU E Model requirements in the design of their networks. The overall aim is to minimise delay, distortion and other transmission impairments, particularly for those calls involving cellular and international networks, which already suffer extensive delay.

The Use of Voice Compression Through the PSTN

Because of the extensive delay already experienced when calling cellular and international networks, some of which is already caused by their use of voice compression technologies. Spark NZ Access Standards will only approve G711 voice technology for use on the PSTN. G711 is an ‘instantaneous speech-encoding technique’ whereas G729 and all its variants are considered ‘near instantaneous’ introducing additional delay into the speech signal.

Echo Cancellation

Echo cancelers are not normally required in the Spark NZ PSTN because geographic delays are acceptable where CPE return loss is maintained within Telepermit limits. However, those private networks that make use of Voice-over-IP (VoIP) technology are required to provide echo cancellation for all voice calls. The combined effect of audio/VoIP conversion delay and IP routing delay can cause the echo cancellation time of 64 mS to be required.
