Using Multi-Handset Features

The expandable base works together with the accessory handsets to give you some useful multi-handset features. You must have at least two handsets to use the features in this section.

Expanding Your Phone

Your base supports a total of six EZX290 accessory handsets, including any that were supplied with your phone. (The cordless handset that comes with your base counts as one of the six.)

Your phone may be compatible with other Uniden accessory handsets. Please visit our website for a list of compatible handsets for your base.

Accessory handsets must be registered to the base before you can use them. Handsets that have not been registered display a Handset not registered message. See page 25 for instructions on registering handsets to this base, or see the manual for the accessory handset.

Any accessory handsets that came packaged with the base are already registered to that base for you.

If a handset was previously registered to a base, you have to reset it so you can register it to a new base (see page 25 for EZX290 handsets).

Using Conference Calling

When an outside call comes in, two handsets can join in a conference call with the outside caller. To join the call, just press Talk. To leave the conference call, hang up normally; the other handset remains connected to the call. (You can also use the speakerphone for a conference call, just like you can with a normal call.)

Using Privacy Mode

You can prevent other handsets from joining a call. Start your call as usual, then press Select/menu: the display shows Call Privacy. Press Select/menu again to turn privacy mode on (you'll see a in the display). When you hang up this call, privacy mode turns off automatically.

As long you have privacy mode on, no other handsets can interrupt your call. If you want to allow another handset to join the call, you have to turn privacy mode off. To turn it off, just repeat the process above (press

Select/menu twice).
