Technical information
Environment
Your Relate 1100 should be kept free of dust,
moisture, high temperature, vibration and should
not be exposed to direct sunlight. Do not stand it
on carpets or other surfaces which generate
fibres or place it in locations which prevent the
free flow of air over its surfaces.
How many phones can you have?
Although you may have any number of sockets, it
is important to limit the number of telephones
and other items of apparatus connected to the line
by those sockets, to ensure that each telephone
will ring.
Every telephone or item of apparatus has a
Ringer Equivalence Number (REN). In most
cases a standard line should provide enough
current for two or more telephones or items of
apparatus, if then the RENs add up to no more
than 4.
Your Relate 1100 has a REN of 1. Any telephone
provided by BT may be assumed to have a REN
of 1 unless otherwise stated on the base. Even
where the number of telephones has been
limited, there is no guarantee that the different
types of telephone on the same line will ring.
If the REN of 4 is exceeded, the telephone may
not ring. With different telephone types there is
no guarantee of ringing, even when the REN is
less than 4.
In addition you must not connect more than four
Caller Display products to one line.
