Multiple Handsets
Up to five handsets can be registered on the base station. Each handset can only be registered on one base
station at any particular time. If you register the handset on a new base station, it is automatically deregistered
from the old one.
NOTE:
The standardised GAP Standard enables SWITEL handsets and even those from other manufacturers
to be integrated in the telephone system. In the same way, an SWITEL handset can be registered on
base stations from other manufacturers as long as they comply with the GAP Standard.
The following options are available if two handsets are used:
S
Internal calls between the handsets (intercom),
S
External calls can be transferred from the handset,
S
Incoming external calls are received on all handsets.
NOTE:
If one handset is currently using the outside line, no further external call is possible.
