Extending the Telephone System
Multiple base stations
You can increase the range of your handset by registering it on several
base stations. The handset can be registered on up to 4 different base
stations simultaneously. Each base station requires its own telephone line
socket. Connections can be used with the same call number or with differ-
ent ones.
Calls in progress cannot be transferred from one base station to
another.
Increasing the range
Position the base stations so that the ranges of the individual base sta-
tions overlap. Test the ranges of the handsets because obstructions in
buildings restrict the range. Register the handset on all the base stations.
Set the
SEL BASE function to AUTO ( Chapter 5). The handset then
automatically searches for the nearest base station with the best connec-
tion.
Mobility through registration at various locations
Register the handset on various base stations at different locations. Set
the
SEL BASE function to AUTO ( Chapter 5). Regardless of your cur-
rent location, the handset automatically searches for a base station within
range.
