To register handsets from other manufacturers, please refer to the opera- ting manual supplied with them. Deregistering handsets A handset can only be deregistered from a base station by using another handset registered to the same base station. Handsets are deregistered via the menu. Chapter 5 indicates the position in the menu.

GAP: Generic Access Profile = Standard for the interoperation of handsets and base stations from different manufacturers.Special Functions

Multiple base stations You can increase the range of your handset by registering it on several base stations. The handset can be registered on up to 4 different base stations simultaneously. Each base station requires its own telephone line socket. Connections can be used with the same call number or with different ones. Calls in progress cannot be transferred from one base station to another. 10 Special Functions Dialling mode The telephone can be operated in analogue exchanges (PULSE mode) as well as new, digital exchanges (TONE/DTMF mode). The dialling mode is controlled via the menu.

11 PABX / Supplementary Services R−button on private branch exchanges If the telephone is connected to a private branch exchange, functions such as transfer- ring calls and automatic call back can be used via the R button. Refer to the operating manual provided with your private branch exchange as to which Flash time must be set in order to use these functions. The sales outlet where you purchased the exchange can provide information as to whether the telephone will work properly with the ex- change. The Flash time is set using the menu. Chapter 5 indicates the position in the menu. Dialling pause When using private branch exchanges, it is necessary to dial an access code to obtain the dialling tone for an outside line. When using some older private branch exchanges, it takes a little time before the dialling tone becomes audible. In the case of such private branch exchanges, a dialling pause can be inserted after the number for an outside line in order to continue dialling directly without having to wait for the dialling tone. The dial- ling pause is inserted by pressing and holding the button for 3 seconds. The actual phone number is dialled a certain time after the number for an outside line. The dialling pause can also be entered with the phone numbers in the phone book.76 In Case of Problems
