Congratulations on your purchase of the Uniden DCT5280 series Multi Handset Cordless System telephone. This unit is different from conventional cordless telephones. When the base unit is connected to AC power and a telephone line, it can support up to 4 handsets. Using extra handsets, you can establish a 4-way conference call (2 H/S- Base Speaker Phone-an outside line, or 3 handsets- an outside line). Additionally, with 4-way conference using 2 handsets, another 2 handsets can establish an intercom call. You can now place a fully featured cordless handset anywhere in your home or office where AC power is available to connect the handset chargers.
