Number Information Label 

The window label cover is fitted in the recess under the handset of 

the telephone.  The label for your number is packed separately. 

If you would like your number on the  phone itself,  simply remove 

the cover by sliding it to the left,  write the number on the label and then 
place it in the recess. The label cover can then be put back in position. 

Operating your Viscount 

Making a Call 

At this stage it would be useful to familiarise yourseli with the 

manual dialling  procedure and also to test the operation of your 
telephone.  Use the following procedures to dial a known number and 
set up an incoming call: 

Lift the handset and listen for dial tone. 

Press the buttons for the number that you require. 

Replace the handset to clear the call when finished. 

Answering a Call 

The tone caller will sound. 

Lift the handset to speak. 

Replace the handset to clear the call. 

Adjusting the volume of 

the tone caller 

A high/low volume control is 

located on the right hand side of the 
telephone case; the highest position  at 
the front, the lowest position at the rear. 

Secrecy 

The Viscount incorporates a highly effective electronic microphone 

- if you simply put your hand over the mouthpiece, the other person 

can still hear you. 

To overcome this, the Viscount lets you temporarily break the 

microphone link between  yourself and the person on the other end of 
the  line.  Provided you  hold  down  the 

'S' 

button the person you are 

calling cannot hear your comments,  although you can hear theirs. To 
operate  the  secrecy facility: 

Press the 

'S' 

button and keep it held down. 

Release the 

'S' 

button to resume normal conversation. 

Last Number Redial 

Once you have dialled a number it is automatically stored in the 

telephones memory circuit, provided the telephone is left plugged in. 
This function can store a number 

21 

digits long and is particularly 

useful when you have dialled a lengthy number and found it engaged. 

To operate the last number redial facility:
