USING THE CORDLESS HANDSET
The cordless handset provides office mobility, allowing you to make and answer calls while
away from your desk. Replacing the standard corded handset, the cordless handset contains
a rechargeable battery that charges in the handset cradle when not in use.
To use the Cordless Handset, you must pair the handset with the phone. For more
information, see ―Pairing the Cordless Module and Accessories‖ on page 80.
