Additional Units
10.1 Operating additional
units
10.1.1 Additional handsets
Up to 6 handsets can be registered to a single
base unit. Additional handsets, for example, will
allow you to have an intercom call with another
handset while a third handset is on an outside
call. See page 9 for accessory information.
10.1.2 Additional base units
Handsets can be registered to up to 4 base units,
allowing you to add additional base units and
extend the area in which your handset(s) can be
used. If a handset moves out of range of its base
unit when
“
Auto
”
is selected on base unit
selection (page 81), it will look for another base
unit to make or receive calls. Each base unit
forms 1 radio cell.
Note:
L
Calls will be disconnected when the handset
moves from one radio cell to another.
L
Intercom calls and call transfers are only
possible between handsets in the same radio
cell.
