The
BT Relate 2000 is a highly featured PSTN Videophone which can send a video image of the
caller over the PSTN to another Videophone. The Relate 2000 is also compatible with audio
only telephones. The Relate 2000 can be wall or table mounted and has the following
facilities:KEYPAD
Twelve alpha-numeric keys, (0 to 9, * and #), Seven function keys and eight video control
keys. A shift key, used in conjunction with some of the keys, gives added facilities. In
common with the Relate range, the dialling keys are lettered and numbered.
AUDIO FUNCTIONS
Tone caller
Incoming calls are signalled by a tone caller which has an adjustable volume control on
the underside of the telephone with HI, LO and OFF settings. The tone and frequency can
also be set through software control.
Secrecy
Pressing the SECRECY button will cut off sound transmission in audio mode, or sound and
video transmission in video mode without affecting incoming speech or video. It can be
used in handset or loudspeaking mode. Press Secrecy button again to reinstate
transmission. An indicator will light when secrecy is in use. Secrecy is automatically
switched off when a call is completed, but is not affected when switching between video
and audio operation.
Pause
Allows a pause of 3.4 seconds, with a maximum of three pauses to be inserted in a stored
number. This is required by some PABXS.
Memory Store
Up to 10 numbers of up to 20 digits long may be stored. These numbers and redial are
stored in EEPROM and will be retained, without power source, for up to five years.
Memory recall
Operation of this key, followed by the memory number, will call the stored number.
Recall
Timed Break or Earth Loop Recall.
Redial
With the handset lifted, or in loudspeaking mode, pressing the REDIAL button will cause
the last number dialled to be repeated.
Loudspeaking
Allows full handsfree operation. The indicator adjacent to the key will light when
loudspeaking is in use.
Timer
This key, mounted under the hinged video unit, displays the time since handset lifted.
Incoming and outgoing calls can be timed, in hours and minutes. If no call is in progress,
the time displayed will be the last call made. The timer will only operate when connected
to the mains power supply.
VIDEO FUNCTIONS
Colour Liquid Crystal Display.
The LCD is a 2.9" screen which displays the incoming video signal at a rate of 8
frames per second. If the picture is unclear due to line noise or other interference, the
rate may be slowed to 3 - 4 frames per second.
Video On/Off
The call will be established as a voice call. To protect user privacy, video can only be
switched on by mutual consent with both parties having agreed to a video connection and
having compatible video telephones. The Video On/Off keys of each telephone must be
pressed within five seconds of each other. Whilst the link is being made, the screen turns
blue and displays "wait"; the line will also appear "dead". Further
operation of the key, during video, will remove the video link and restore the call to
audio only.
Contrast brightness and colour setting
These keys allow the user to adjust their display for optimum effect. Pressing brightness
alters the brightness of local picture and contrast alters contrast of local picture.
Colour control does not affect the local picture unless in self view. Colour of the
received video signal is controlled by the distant end using shift contrast.
Self view
With a video call in progress, the left hand corner of the screen will display the
transmitted picture ("picture in picture" facility). This can be removed by
operation of the SELF-VIEW key. SHIFT/SELF-VIEW enables a full picture of the out-going
signal to be seen, so that a check of what the distant end is receiving can be made.
Shift
Operation of the SHIFT key together with SELF-VIEW allows the user to see a mirror image
on the screen. It is recommended that this is used before making a video call. The method
by which a mirror image is obtained varies depending upon the mode of operation;
SHIFT/SELF VIEW with handset on hook or in video mode.
SELF VIEW only with handset off hook and no call or voice call only.
Freeze frame
Allows the user to freeze the display at any time during a video call. Further operation
unfreezes the display. There is a short delay whilst the picture builds up. During this
time WAIT is displayed.
Video refresh
During freeze frame, operation of VIDEO REFRESH will update the screen.
SIGNALLING
Controlled by a mode switch on the underside of the instrument.

T-E for earth loop
