10.1Operating additional units

10.1.1Additional cordless handsets

Up to 6 cordless handsets can be registered to a single base unit. Additional cordless handsets, for example, will allow you to have an intercom call with another cordless handset while a third cordless handset is on an outside call. See page 11 for accessory information.

10.1.2 Additional base units

Cordless handsets can be registered to up to 4 base units, allowing you to add additional base units and extend the area in which your cordless handset(s) can be used. If a cordless handset moves out of range of its base unit when “Auto” is selected on base unit selection (page 81), it will look for another base unit to make or receive calls. Each base unit forms 1 radio cell.

another.

LIntercom calls and call transfers are only possible between cordless handsets in the same radio cell.
