Nine Simultaneous Conversation Channels; Radio Interference - Toshiba Strata DK User Manual

Nine Simultaneous Conversation Channels

The cordless digital telephone has nine operating channels available.
A common misconception is that this limits a customer to nine cordless phones. This is not the
case. Each cordless digital telephone can operate on any of the nine channels. When you turn
on a cordless digital telephone, the phone selects an available channel within its' range. In a
given cordless range, nine simultaneous calls can be made. In most businesses, it is unlikely
that all nine channels will be in use at the same time. Typically 20 to 30 phones can share the 9
channels.
Another factor is the distribution of the phones in a facility. If your cordless digital telephones
are disbursed throughout a facility, there should not be contention for channels. If there are
more than nine cordless digital telephones in one area and nine users are using their cordless
phones, a tenth user would not be able to connect at that time.

Radio Interference

Radio interference may occasionally interrupt your conversations. When this happens,
remember that your unit is not defective. If these noises continue, and are too distracting,
move to a different location while you are talking on the telephone. (As noted in the preceding
Range section, you may need to move the base unit as well.) If the situation persists, contact
your telephone system administrator.
