Nine Simultaneous Conversation Channels
The cordless digital telephone has nine operating channels available.
A common misconception is that this limits a customer to nine cordless phones. This is not the case. Each cordless digital telephone can operate on any of the nine channels. When you turn on a cordless digital telephone, the phone selects an available channel within its’ range. In a given cordless range, nine simultaneous calls can be made. In most businesses, it is unlikely that all nine channels will be in use at the same time. Typically 20 to 30 phones can share the 9 channels.
Another factor is the distribution of the phones in a facility. If your cordless digital telephones are disbursed throughout a facility, there should not be contention for channels. If there are more than nine cordless digital telephones in one area and nine users are using their cordless phones, a tenth user would not be able to connect at that time.
Radio Interference
Radio interference may occasionally interrupt your conversations. When this happens, remember that your unit is not defective. If these noises continue, and are too distracting, move to a different location while you are talking on the telephone. (As noted in the preceding Range section, you may need to move the base unit as well.) If the situation persists, contact your telephone system administrator.
