MULTI 5 is a small telephone system intended for use in the home, office or small business. It
serves up to five internal telephone extensions from one Exchange Line. It provides both a high
quality intercom between extensions, and access to the outside line from each extension, with
total privacy on all calls. It consists of a compact unit which can be wall-mounted in any
convenient position, its small size and smart appearance helping to blend into its surroundings.
It is mains powered, and is fitted with a three-metre cable, terminating in a standard telephone
plug, for connection to a BT socket.
It is simple to operate and easy to install using ordinary 2-wire telephone cable and master BT-
type sockets. Extensions may be situated up to 200 metres from the central control unit.
Advanced microprocessor technology has enabled a number of special features, normally
available in larger, expensive systems to be provided.

USING THE MULTI 5
In Case Of Difficulty
These notes should be of assistance, if you ever encounter any difficulty in using the MULTI 5.
Remember that an outside call cannot be made from a call barred extension (other than a 9
999 or 9 112 call) - make sure that the Call Barring settings are set to your requirements.
Be careful not to leave an outside call on hold by accident. If in doubt press recall to check. If
public network dial tone is received, clear the system by replacing the handset.
Ensure that call intercept is set correctly, and not set accidentally. If in doubt dial 70 at any
extension to cancel.
Ensure that do not disturb has not been set accidentally. Cancel by lifting and replacing the
handset at the relevant extension.
Replace the handset after an outside call even if the other party clears down first and you
receive dial tone.
Remember the timing features of the system:
When originating an outside call you must wait at least twenty seconds after dialling the last
digit, before attempting to place a call on hold.
When an outside call is put on hold and the extension replaced, the outside call will remain on
hold for up to two minutes. During this time the call can only be accessed from the original
extension.
At the end of the preset time the line will be released and the system reset.
If, after investigating the above possibilities, you still cannot obtain an outside line, proceed as
follows:
Switch off the mains power to the MULTI 5, and after waiting at least ten seconds switch on
again. If the fault has not cleared, unplug the MULTI 5 from the Exchange line socket, and plug
in the Extension 1 phone in its place.
If dial tone is still not obtained, try a second telephone. If this is unsuccessful then the line may
be assumed to be faulty, and you should contact the telephone company e.g. BT.
