8 Multi-unit Operation Additional Units
8.1 Operating additional units
8.1.1 Additional cordless handsets
Up to 6 cordless handsets can be registered to a single
base unit. Additional cordless handsets will give you the
freedom to, for example, have an intercom call with
another cordless handset while a third cordless handset
is on an outside call.
Important:
L
The additional cordless handset model
recommended for use with this unit is noted on
page 9. If other model cordless handset is used,
certain operations (cordless handset settings,
base unit settings, etc.) may not be available.
8.1.2 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 59), it will look for another base unit to
make or receive calls. A base unit and the cordless
handsets it communicates with is called a “radio cell”.
Note:
L
Calls will be disconnected when the cordless
handset moves from one radio cell to another.
8.2 Registering a cordless
handset to a base unit
The included cordless handset and base unit are
preregistered. If for some reason the cordless handset is
not registered to the base unit (for example,
w
flashes
even when the cordless handset is near the base unit),
register the cordless handset manually.
After purchasing an additional cordless handset, register
it to the base unit. Ensure that the additional cordless
handset is switched ON. If it is not ON, press and hold
{ih}
for few seconds to turn the cordless handset ON.
