Technical information
Choosing a position
Your Relate 700 Caller Display 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.
Warning
The apparatus is designed to be operated only in
a normal office or domestic environment where
the relative humidity does not exceed 60%. It
should not be used in bathrooms or near water.
Connecting to the UK network
Relate 700 Caller Display is tested and approved
for connection to the UK network, provided it is
used in accordance with the guidelines in this
booklet.
How many phones can you have?
Although you may have any number of sockets,
it is important to limit the number of phones and
other items of apparatus connected to the line by
those sockets, to make sure that each phone will
ring.
Every phone 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
there are no more than 4 RENs.
Your Relate 700 has an REN of 1. Any phone
provided by BT has an REN of 1 unless it says
otherwise on the base. Even where the number
of telephones has been limited, there is no
guarantee that the different types of phone on
the same line will ring.
If the REN is more than 4, the phone may not
ring. With different phone types a phone may
still not ring, even when the REN is less than 4.
You must not connect more than 4 Caller Display
products to one line.
