the HOLD button again to return to your caller.

TAD FAX RX (telephone answering device)

This allows your DF450 and a connected

answering machine to take phone and fax calls.

When a phone call is received, the answering

machine will take it and the display will show

OFF HOOK.

If the call is a fax, your DF450 will override the

answering machine and automatically receive

the fax

normally after the outgoing message

has been played.

AUTOMATIC RX

This mode is for use when you are using your

DF450 as a fax machine only. Faxes are

received and printed automatically.

There is no audible indication of an incoming

call in this mode.

To use with an answer machine

With your DF450 set to TAD/FAX mode, your

connected answer machine will take all calls as

normal. Your DF450 will respond after the

outgoing message if it hears fax tones and will

override the answer machine to automatically

receive the incoming fax.

To enable the reception of faxes from a fax

machine which does not send fax tones, your

DF450 is pre-set to switch to fax reception if,

when it is called, it detects up to 6 seconds of

silence. You may need to adjust this time to suit

your answering machine. Shorten the time if

your DF450 fails to cut in, or lengthen it if it

cuts in while a caller is leaving a message (see

Additional Features, page 25).

Remote control from an extension

If your DF450 is connected to a telephone

network which has other telephone

extensions, it is possible to take the call on an

extension and, if it is a fax call, transfer the call

to your DF450.

Choosing a position

Your DF450 should be kept clear of dust, moisture, high

temperature and vibration and should not be exposed to direct

sunlight. Don’t install it close to radiators or air-conditioning

outlets or in excessively warm, humid or dusty places.

Warning

The apparatus is only designed to be operated 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

DF450 is tested and approved for connection to the UK network,

provided that it is used in accordance with the guidelines in this

booklet.

Approval number

BABT Certificate Number/Approval Number for the DF450

503727 APPROVED for connection to telecommunication

systems specified in the instructions for use subject to conditions

set out in them. CE compliant to 89/336/CEE (EMC Directive)

Approval for use

This apparatus has been approved for use with the following

facilities:

Storage of telephone numbers for retrieval by a predetermined

code. (If problems occur, verify stored number).

Automatic call initiation.

Use on a PBX which returns secondary proceed indication.

Operation in the presence or absence of initial or secondary

proceed indication.

Automatic dialling facilities.

Automatic storage of last number dialled.

Automatic repeat attempt facilities.

Auto clear from the originating end.

Series connection facility.

Call progress monitor.

You may connect it:

• to direct exchange lines:

• to extensions with new plug and socket arrangements provided

with these direct exchange lines;

• to compatible switchboards.

You may NOT connect it:

• to shared service (party) lines.

The connection to the telecommunication system must be

unplugged before the earth is disconnected. The connection to

the telecommunication system must not be hardwired.

This apparatus may be used on telecommunications systems

employing loop disconnect or MF signalling.

Any other usage will invalidate the approval of the apparatus if, as

a result, it then ceases to conform to the standards against which

approval was granted.

How many phones you can have

Your exchange line provides only a small current to make your

telephone ring. 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 these sockets. This ensures

that each telephone will receive enough current to 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.

DF450 has a REN of 3. 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 the different types of telephone on the same

line will ring.

Technical information

Technical

Voltage drop

The voltage drop introduced by the apparatus between the PSTN

and the associated telephone/answering machine is 0.4 Volts at

40mA dc.

The introduction of this voltage drop may occasionally cause

difficulties in making calls from the associated telephone or

problems in telephone conversations being experienced by both

parties to the call.

While operation may be possible initially, changes to or

modernisation of the network taking place in the normal course

of events may result in the apparatus being connected to a

network service with which it is not designed to be compatible.

Failure of the apparatus to work under these circumstances may

not be the responsibility of the network operator.

In the unlikely event of any such problems occurring, the user

should contact the supplier or maintainer of the apparatus.

Difficulty may be experienced when making calls from other

apparatus. Such difficulties may include:

• difficulties in making a call;

• problems in telephone conversation being experienced by both

parties to the call.

Note - The definition of a RBS (Relevant Branch System) from

PSTN lines is given in BS6789 section 6.1 (1986) clause 2.4

Connecting to switchboards

Your DF450 is approved only for use with a compatible

switchboard including those which do not provide secondary

proceed indication.

If you do have a compatible switchboard, it cannot be guaranteed

that the DF450 will operate correctly under all possible

conditions of connection.

If you have any difficulties, contact BT on

Freefone 0800 800 152.

Safety warning

Interconnection circuits should be such that the equipment

continues to comply with the requirements of 4.2 of EN 41003 for

TNV circuits and 2.3 of EN 60950 for SELV circuits, after making

connections between circuits.

Interconnection directly, or by way of other apparatus, of ports

marked Safety Warning. See instructions for use. Ports marked

or not so marked may produce hazardous conditions on the

network. Advice should be obtained from a competent engineer

before such a connection is made.
