10.1 Operating additional

units

10.1.1 Additional handsets

Up to 6 handsets can be registered to a single
base unit. Additional handsets, for example, will
allow you to have an intercom call with another
handset while a third handset is on an outside
call. See page 9 for accessory information.

10.1.2 Additional base units

Handsets can be registered to up to 4 base units,
allowing you to add additional base units and
extend the area in which your handset(s) can be
used. If a handset moves out of range of its base
unit when Auto is selected on base unit
selection (page 73), it will look for another base
unit to make or receive calls. Each base unit
forms 1 radio cell.
Note:
LCalls will be disconnected when the handset
moves from one radio cell to another.
LIntercom calls and call transfers are only
possible between handsets in the same radio
cell.

10.2 Registering a handset

to a base unit

The included handset and base unit are
preregistered. After purchasing an additional
handset, register it to the base unit. Ensure that
the additional handset is switched ON. If it is not
ON, press and hold {ih} for few seconds to
turn the handset ON.
LKeep the front cover page open for button
locations.

unit, wait until a confirmation tone sounds
and w stops flashing.
Note:
LIf an error tone sounds, or if w is still flashing,
register the handset manually.
LIf all registered handsets start ringing in step
2, press {LOCATOR} to stop. Start again
from step 1.
LCharge the batteries of your additional
handset for about 7 hours before initial use.

10.2.3 Selecting a base unit

range of that base unit, no calls can be made or
received.
