Technical information

How many telephones can I have?

All items of telephone equipment have a Ringer Equivalence

Number (REN), which is used to calculate the number of items which
may be connected to any one telephone line. Your BT Stratus 1500
has a REN of 1. A total REN of 4 is allowed. If the total REN of 4 is
exceeded, the telephones may not ring. With different telephone
types there is no guarantee of ringing, even when the REN is less
than 4.

Any additional handsets and chargers that you register should have a

REN of 0.
