The ELAN C2 is compatible with most touch-tone telephones and multi-line telephone
systems. Certain telephones that use the both # or * buttons for other functions may not be
compatible.
The ELAN C2 has a Ringer Equivalency Number (REN) of 0.7A. The maximum number of
telephones that may be connected in a home is dependent on the Ringer Equivalency Voltage
being provided to the home by the phone company and the Ringer Equivalency Number of
each telephone in the home. When added together, the REN of all the house phones plus the
C2 should not exceed 5 per telephone line.
Exceeding the Ringer Equivalency Voltage provided by the telephone company may result in
intermittent or no ring-in or a call from your local carrier. Ring boosters are available from your
phone company for a nominal fee. ELAN strongly recommends the use of telephone line surge
protection between the incoming phone line and the C2 Phone Input.
