BT 900 manual Operating with additional base

Operating with additional base

stations It is possible to build your Synergy 900 into a much larger phone system with the addition of up to 3 extra base stations.

You can use up to six handsets on each Synergy 900 base station, and up to four base stations with your handset to build up a comprehensive and easy to use cordless telephone system.

The handset supplied with each base station is already registered as HSET 1.

To register additional handsets to base stations

Use the instructions shown on page 24, but remember to start the sequence by pressing and holding down the blue PAGE button on the base station you want to register a handset with. It sends a unique signal and your handset will automatically accept it as the next base station.

Automatic connection to different base stations

If each base station is connected to a different telephone line, your handset can only make and receive calls from one base station at a time.

NOTE:

If you move out of range of the base station, you will lose the signal along with any current call. Your handset will now search for the next available base station to which it is registered.

To select a specific base station

For instance, if you are in an area where two or more base stations overlap, you can choose the one which is connected to the telephone line you want to use.
