with these direct exchange 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.
