Using Multi-station Features
The expandable base works together with the accessory handsets to give you some useful multi-
station features. (A station can be any cordless handset or the base.) You must have at least one
cordless handset to use the features in this section.
Expanding Your Phone
•
Your base supports a total of ten cordless handsets, including any that were supplied with your
phone.
• Your base is compatible with 43-339 accessory handset.
•
Accessory handsets must be registered to the base before you can use them. Handsets that
have not been registered display a
Handset not registered
message. For instructions on
registering handsets to this base, see
“Registering a handset”
on page 42 or refer to the manual that
came with the accessory handset.
•
Any accessory handsets that came packaged with the base are already registered to that base
for you.
•
If a handset was previously registered to a base, you have to reset it so you can register it to a
new base. (See
“Resetting and Registering Handsets”
on page 42.)
Using Multi-Station Conference Calling
When an outside call comes in on either line, the base and four cordless handsets can join in a
six-way conference call with the outside caller.
1.
To join a call in progress, just connect to the active line
(press
LINE1
or
LINE2
).
2.
To leave a conference call, hang up normally; all other
stations remains connected to the call.
•
If you conference line 1 and line 2 together (see
“Conferencing two lines together”
on page 22), the base and
four cordless handsets can hold a seven-way call with
both outside callers at the same time.
•
You can also use the speakerphone for a conference call,
just like you can with a normal call.
Using Privacy Mode
You can prevent other stations from joining a call.
1.
Start your call as usual.
2.

MENU
and select
Call Privacy

3.

As long you have Privacy mode on, no other stations can interrupt your call (you’ll see a in the
handset display and a in the base display). To allow another station to join the call, just turn Privacy
mode off by repeating the process above (press
MENU
and select
