Using Multi-Handset Features
The expandable base works together with the accessory handsets to
give you some useful multi-handset features. You must have at least two
handsets 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. (The cordless handset that
comes with your base counts as one of the six.)
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 25 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 25 for EZX290 handsets).
Using Conference Calling
When an outside call comes in, two handsets can join in a conference
call with the outside caller. To join the call, just press
TALK
. To leave the
conference call, hang up normally; the other handset 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 handsets 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 handsets can interrupt your
call. If you want to allow another handset to join the call, you have to
turn privacy mode off. To turn it off, just repeat the process above (press
SELECT/MENU
twice).
