Activating/deactivating the
DECT interface
If you deactivate the DECT interface, the
radio connection between the base and the
registered handsets/repeaters is terminated.
Handsets/repeaters are "asynchronous" to
the base. They cannot establish a connec-
tion with the base and no calls are signalled.
Handsets/repeaters do remain registered to
the base and will synchronise with the base
as soon as you reactivate the DECT interface.
