Operator service — dial 100

Number unobtainable

Number engaged

Call answered

Ringing tone

A repeated brr-brr sound means that the exchange is try­ing to connect you to the number you dialled.

When the call is answered, the tone will change to rapid

pips — immediately put a coin in the appropriate slot

and speak.

After a time you will hear the rapid pips again and if you

want to continue speaking, put another coin in the slot at

once.

If the number you have called is engaged you will hear a regularly interrupted single tone. Replace the receiver and try again later.

If you hear a continuous single tone after dialling, this indicates the number you have called is unobtainable. Replace the receiver — check the number, or code and number you want and try again.

For calls which you cannot dial direct or if you have dif­ficulty, call the operator by dialling 100. Do not insert moneyuntil the operator tells you.
