Technical
information
Environment
Your Converse 220 should be
kept free of dust, moisture and
high temperatures.
Wipe the casing clean with a
damp, not wet, cloth.
Do not use spray or abrasive
cleaners as damage to the
internal components or polished
surfaces could result.
How many phones
can you have? (REN)
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 Converse 220 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.
Connection information
Your Converse 220 may be
connected to public networks in
the United Kingdom.
It may also be connected to
compatible switchboards. If in
doubt, your switchboard
supplier or maintainer should be
able to offer help. Advice on

all possible conditions of

Wall-
mounting
Your Converse 220 can be
wall-mounted using the
screws and wall plugs
provided.
Unclip the stand on the back
of the Converse 220.
Drill two holes in the wall
61mm vertically apart using
a 8mm drill bit.
Insert the wall plugs if
necessary, then insert the
screws leaving about 5mm
protruding from the wall on
which to hang the phone.
Rotate the handset clip 180˚
so that it protrudes upward.
This holds the handset in
place when wall mounted.
Hang the holes on the back
of the phone over the

the phone downward to
make sure it is securely in
place.
Hang the handset on the
handset clip.
