Using Multi-station Features
The expandable base and the cordless handset give you some useful
multi-station features. (A station can be any handset or the base.)
Expanding Your Phone
Your base supports a total of six cordless handsets: the one that
came with the base and up to five DCX210 accessory handsets.
Your base might be compatible with other Uniden accessory
handsets: please visit our website for a list of compatible handsets.
Accessory handsets must be registered to the base before you
can use them. Handsets that aren't registered display a
Handset
not registered
message. For instructions on registering handsets to
this base, see page 25 or 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 25 for DCX210).
Using Conference Calling
When an outside call comes in, the base
and two handsets can join in a
conference call with the outside caller. To
join the call, just press
SPEAKER
on the
base or
TALK/FLASH
on a handset. To leave
the conference call, hang up normally;
the other station remains connected to
the call. (You can also use the handset 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
MENU/SELECT
: the display shows
Call Privacy
. Press
MENU/SELECT
again to turn privacy mode on (you'll see a in the
display). When you hang up, privacy mode turns off automatically.
As long you have privacy mode on, no other stations can interrupt
your call. To allow another station to join the call, just turn privacy
mode off by repeating the process above (press
MENU/SELECT
twice).
