MULTIPLE HANDSET
SIMULTANEOUS
CONVERSATIONS
The unit is a multiple handset system, but the
transceiver design can only allow one
handset at a time to talk with an outside
caller. A handset can transfer a call to another
handset (see Transferring a Call, on page 12).
When a handset is talking to an outside caller,
another handset cannot join in the
conversation. The other handset can,
however, intercom a different handset and
have an internal conversation.
