Handset overview

The T7406E handset automatically links with the base station by searching for the base station
signal after you complete following tasks:
• charge the battery
• power the base station and handset
• configure the handset identification

Monitoring handset signal strength

When you move too far from the base station, the following occurs on the handset:
• the Out of range... message appears
• the handset produces an intermittent beep
• the handset goes into scanning mode
Move back into range of the base station to stop the handset display messages and warning tones.
If you go out of range during an active call, the call is automatically placed on hold. Press the
flashing red line button to retrieve a held call when you are back in range of the base station. In
cases when the line button does not light up when you move back into range of the base station,
press the intercom/line button that the call came in on to take the call off hold
