Note that multiple IP extensions can share the same base.
Warning:
Calls to an emergency service number using an external IP extension will not send
the correct address to the emergency operator. We strongly recommend that you apply a
warning label to any external IP extension stating:
If an emergency call is made from this phone, you must provide your address to the
emergency operator.
