Using Your Telephone
General
The Forum Free 560 is a cordless telephone for operation in the
Forum 500 communications system. In addition to convenient
softkey control for the support of the system features, this tele-
phone also offers a variety of features that enable you to make
calls more easily.
To increase your accessibility you can also operate your handset
in other communications systems, and thus use the same hand-
set in different places.
Furthermore, it is possible to operate the handset in the com-
munications systems of other manufacturers, providing they
meet the GAP standard.
DECT and GAP
Your handset uses a digital radio connection in accordance with
the DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telephone) standard for
the connection to the base station. This digital channel guaran-
tees the highest voice quality without static or background
noise. For signalling between the communications system and
the handset, the Forum Free 560 uses the Generic Access Profile
(GAP).
The Generic Access Profile (GAP) and the DECT standard define
methods according to which digital cordless telephones can
establish connections. The GAP standard is not manufacturer-
specific, so it is possible to combine the base stations and hand-
sets of different vendors with each other. The basic functions
(making and receiving calls) are always possible with these
combinations. Other functions (display of telephone numbers or
call charges) which your Forum 500 communications system
provides together with your handset may not be available with
the devices of other manufacturers.
