Using Multi-station Features
The expandable base works together with the accessory handsets to give
you some useful multi-station features. (A station can be any cordless
handset or the base.) You must have at least one accessory handset to
use the features in this section.
Expanding Your Phone
Your base supports a total of six EZX290 accessory handsets, including
any that were supplied with your phone.
Your phone may be compatible with other Uniden accessory handsets.
Please visit our website for a list of compatible handsets for your base.
Accessory handsets must be registered to the base before you can
use them. Handsets that have not been registered display a
Handset
not registered
message. See page 29 for instructions on registering
handsets to this base, or see the manual for the accessory handset.
Any accessory handsets that came packaged with the base are already
registered to that base for you.
If a handset was previously registered to a base, you have to reset it so
you can register it to a new base (see page 29 for EZX290 handsets).
Using Conference Calling
When an outside call comes in, the base
and two cordless handsets can join in a
conference call with the outside caller. To
join the call, just pick up the corded
handset from the base or press
TALK
on a
cordless handset. To leave the
conference call, hang up normally; the
other station remains connected to the
call. (You can also use the speakerphone
for a conference call, just like you can with a normal call.)
Using Privacy Mode
You can prevent other stations from joining a call. Start your call as usual,
then press
SELECT/MENU
: the display shows
Call Privacy
. Press
SELECT/
MENU
again to turn privacy mode on (you'll see a in the display). When
you hang up this call, privacy mode turns off automatically.
As long you have privacy mode on, no other stations can interrupt your
call. If you want to let another station join the call, turn privacy mode off.
To turn it off, just repeat the process above (press
SELECT/MENU
twice).
