Technical information
How many phones can you have?
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
Freestyle 1050 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.
Connecting to a switchboard
Your Freestyle 1050 may be connected to
compatible switchboards. If in doubt, your
switchboard supplier or maintainer should be
able to offer help. Advice on connection to BT
switching systems can be obtained by dialling
BT on 152.
If you do not have a compatible switchboard, it
cannot be guaranteed that your Freestyle 1050
will operate correctly under all possible conditions
of connection.
WARNING
The apparatus is only designed to be operated in
a normal office or domestic environment where

abroad may violate local radio laws.
The base unit is intended for use when powered
