Ringer Equivalence Number (REN)
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 the RENs add up to no more than 4.
Freestyle 1200 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 different types of telephone on the same line will ring.
Safety advice
•Don’t use your Freestyle 1200 in the open air during thunderstorms. Unplug it from the telephone line and the mains socket when there are storms in your area.
•Don’t use your Freestyle 1200 outdoors in the rain, or handle it with wet hands.
