Using Multi-station Features

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
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.
