Multi-unit Operation

Operating additional units

Additional handsets

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

Important:

L The additional handset model recommended for use with this unit is noted on page 6. If other model handset is used, certain operations (handset settings, base unit settings, etc.) may not be available.

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 59), it will look for another base unit to make or receive calls. A base unit and the handsets it communicates with is called a “radio cell”.

Note:

L Calls will be disconnected when the handset moves from one radio cell to another.

L Intercom calls and call transfers are only possible between handsets in the same radio cell.

Registering a handset to a base unit
