Additional base stations
You can increase the range of the mobile units by using several base stations. In order to make use of this
effect, all base stations must be provided with a telephone socket. Depending upon the application, you can
allocate the same telephone number to each base station or you can give the base stations different numbers.
In this case, the mobile unit will always be given a new phone number as soon as it is within range of a
different base station. Make sure that the ranges of all base stations overlap. Please test the range of the
mobile units before putting a new base station into operation.
If a mobile unit is logged on to the base station and if the automatic base station selection is activated (further
information in this chapter), the mobile unit is always forwarded automatically to the nearest base station.
Current calls cannot be transferred from one base station to another.
Selecting a base station
Press the MENU display button on the mobile unit and select REGISTRATION from the menu with the
cursor.
Confirm with the OK display button.
Choose SELECT BASE from the menu with the cursor and confirm with OK.
A list of the four base stations will appear in the display. Select the required base station with the cursor.
In the AUTOMATIC setting, the mobile unit changes automatically to the nearest base station. If the
mobile unit is logged on to the base station concerned, a star appears after the number. Only these
base stations can be selected.
Use the cursor to select the required base station and press OK.
The display will show the main screen once more.
