Using Multi-station Features
The expandable base works together with the accessory handsets to give you some useful
Expanding Your Phone
Your base supports a total of six EZX290 accessory handsets, including any that were supplied with your phone.
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 29 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 29 for EZX290 handsets).
