Important note — emergency calls
The MD 1600 is not designed for making emergency
calls when the mains power fails. So you should
make alternative arrangements for access to
Emergency Services.
(This means that you should also have a basic
phone that does not need mains power, connected
to your line so that you can make calls during a
power failure.)
If you need help ...
The Binatone Help Line is available from 9.00 am to
5.00 pm, Monday to Friday, on
01325 304 473
Unpacking your MD 1600
In the box are:

system, three with a Triple system, four with a Quad
system)
the base unit
rechargeable batteries or a battery pack, and a
battery compartment cover for the handset
a telephone line cable
a mains power lead and adapter
If you have an MD 1600 Twin, Triple or Quad system,
you should also have:
one, two or three charger pods
a mains power lead and adapter for each one
Keep the packaging materials in a safe place in case
you later need to transport the unit.
