Using the DirectLink™ Communication Feature
Using the DirectLink two-way communication feature, a pair of handsets can function as two-way radios. DirectLink
communication does not interfere with the base's ability to make or receive telephone calls. You must set both
handsets to use DirectLink communication before they can call each other. Other handsets can be used while two
handsets are using DirectLink communication; however, the two handsets using DirectLink communication are not
able to make or receive calls until the operation is canceled.
