BT DF450 manual Remote control from an extension

Using your DF450

To send a fax using the phone to dial

You can dial a fax number using the phone connected to your DF450.

•Insert the document to be faxed in the Automatic Document Feeder.

•Dial the number you want on the phone.

•Press the START button on your DF450. (To cancel at any time, press the STOP button.)

•Replace the handset.

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.

To transfer a fax call from a telephone extension

•Press the ✱ button on your telephone twice and replace the handset. Your DF450 will automatically take the call.

If the ✱✱ command conflicts with other equipment or services connected to the line, you can alter the second digit of the remote start command as follows:

•Press the FUNCTION button until the display shows INSTALLATION.

•Press the START button until the display shows REMOTE START:ON. (If the display shows REMOTE START:OFF, press the ◀ ♣ buttons to select ON.)

•Press the START button display

shows TYPE CODE. CODE (0/9, ✱)

The ✱ will flash; you can now replace it with another character (0 and 9) using the keypad.

•Enter the new digit then press the START button to confirm your choice.

•Press the STOP button to return to standby.

As a precaution, to prevent your DF450 cutting in during a voice call, press the ✱and # buttons before starting a conversation. This will immobilise your DF450 during the call and may be necessary as there are rare occasions where certain voice tones or pitches can be mistaken for fax tones, which would set off a fax response.
