Using Multi-Handset Features
#
To use the features in this section, you need at least 1 cordless handset.
Expanding Your Phone
• Your base supports a total of 6 cordless handsets, including any that came with
your phone.
• You must register accessory handsets to the base before using them. Handsets
that aren’t registered display a
“not registered”
message. For registration
instructions, see page 39 or the accessory handset manual.
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 corded handset from the base or press
TALK/FLASH
on a cordless handset. To leave the conference call, hang up normally; the other
station remains connected to the call.
Using Privacy Mode
• To activate Privacy Mode on a call in progress, select
Call Privacy
from the menus.
As long as privacy mode is on, no other handsets can join your call.
• Privacy Mode turns off automatically when you hang up or put the call on hold.
• To use privacy mode during a conference call, wait until all stations have joined the
call before turning on Privacy Mode. If a handset disconnects, that handset cannot
rejoin the call as long as Privacy Mode remains on.
