SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE ABOUT PHONE GENERAL About Phone includes information about the tablet and other T-Hub 2 devices. For the T-Hub 2 Tablet to work, the base station or T-Gateway must be plugged into a mains power socket at all times. POWER OUTAGES The T-Hub 2 base station needs electricity to work. You won’t be able to use the tablet to make or receive calls or texts (including to make ‘000’ emergency calls) nor access T-Hub 2 applications that require internet connectivity, during a power cut.
POWER AND CABLES BATTERY SAFETY • Only use the power adaptors that came with the T-Hub 2. Using any other power adaptors may invalidate the warranty and may damage the equipment. • The tablet may heat up during long calls or when the batteries are being recharged. This is normal. • Connect the power adaptors to the mains in accordance with the installation instructions.
