Two 25mm x No. 8 pan-head wood screws and wall plugs are provided for wall mounted use via key-hole slots in the base of the instrument.

Three good quality AA size batteries are required for the Relate 300 and 400. However, the phone will operate perfectly satisfactorily without them. Batteries allow memory programming on hook and retain memories whilst the phone is unplugged.

Table mounted - the unit is supplied with a plinth to allow for an angled stance or without the plinth for a flat stance.

Wall mounted - the plinth is removed, turned, then refitted. This gives a good wall mounting angle. The handset and line cords may be routed through the alternative channels in the base as required and the line cord may be shortened. The handset retaining lug should be turned through 180 degrees to support the handset.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
The Relate 300 and 400 batteries should give 12 months service before replacement is indicated.

WARRANTY
BT's warranty from the manufacturer is for 24 months from date marking on the base (Week & Year forming first four digits of the serial number).

LINE TESTING
Idle - Normal capacitor loop, additionally these telephones draw on-hook current (typically 25 micro Amps) to maintain stored/last number memory. This may give apparent 'Low Loop' line test conditions.

Seized - Normal press button telephone loop. The electronic keypad and transmission circuitry may give 'high resistance' tele-loop line test conditions as with other press button telephones.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Signalling details

MF signalling
- All models, continuous tone whilst button is pressed.

Timed break recall
- All models, approximately 90 ms.

Earth recall
- All models, approximately 800 ms.

PBX Interworking
Some facilities are not available when Relate range telephones are connected to a Renown or BT2+8.

Secrecy
The feature, when active, disables the handset whilst the LED is glowing. It also disables the base microphone in the Relate 400. On Relate 200 the LED will not illuminate when in Monitor mode.

Monitor Mode
The Relate 200 will not operate in Monitor Mode when first connected to line, or after a sustained line break (specified as 5 minutes but in practice 15 minutes or more). A handset lift, and replacement, is required to 'reset' the processor.

KNOWN ISSUES

RELATE 400 : DELETING ENTRIES IN INTERNAL DIRECTORY
The Relate 400 user guide page 15 states that, when deleting an entry in the internal directory, the user can find the name to be deleted by either using the scan buttons or entering the initial letter of the name and THEN scan. The latter of these is incorrect; if the initial letter of the name is entered before pressing scan it locks the directory until the handset is replaced.

The full correct operation should be :
Lift handset (or press loudspeaking), Press store, Press directory button, Press scan, Initial letter (if required, followed by scan again), Press delete twice, Replace handset (or press loudspeaking again).
