Using Multi-station Features
The expandable base and the cordless handset give you some useful
Expanding Your Phone
Your base supports a total of six cordless handsets: the one that came with the base and up to five DCX210 accessory handsets.
Your base might be compatible with other Uniden accessory handsets: please visit our website for a list of compatible handsets.
Accessory handsets must be registered to the base before you can use them. Handsets that aren't registered display a Handset not registered message. For instructions on registering handsets to this base, see page 25 or 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 25 for DCX210).
Using Conference Calling
When an outside call comes in, the base and two handsets can join in a conference call with the outside caller. To join the call, just press Speaker on the base or Talk/flash on a handset. To leave the conference call, hang up normally; the other station remains connected to

Using Privacy Mode
When you're using a handset, you can prevent other stations from joining a call. Start your call as usual, then press Menu/select: the display shows Call Privacy. Press Menu/select again to turn privacy mode on (you'll see a in the display). When you hang up, privacy mode turns off automatically.
As long you have privacy mode on, no other stations can interrupt your call. To allow another station to join the call, just turn privacy mode off by repeating the process above (press Menu/select twice).
