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 accessory
handset to use the features in this section.
Expanding Your Phone
Your base supports a total of six AS116 accessory handsets,
including any that were supplied with your phone.
Your base might be compatible with other Uniden accessory
handsets; please visit our website for a list of compatible handsets.
Accessory handsets must be registered to the base before you
can use them. Handsets that aren't registered display a
Handset
not registered
message. For instructions on registering handsets to
this base, see page 27 or the manual for 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 page 27 or the manual
for the accessory handset).
Using Conference Calling
When an outside call comes in, the base
and two cordless handsets can join in a
conference call with the outside caller.
To join the call, just pick up the base
corded handset or press
TALK/FLASH
on
a cordless handset. To leave the conference call, hang up normally;
the other station remains connected to the call. (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. Start your call as
usual, then press
MENU/SELECT
: the display shows
Call Privacy
. Press
MENU/SELECT
again to turn privacy mode on (you'll see a in the
display). When you hang up, privacy mode turns off automatically.
As long you have privacy mode on, no other stations can interrupt
your call. To allow another station to join the call, just turn privacy
mode off by repeating the process above (press
MENU/SELECT
twice).
