System Capabilities
Your phone system can handle up to two external phone lines and one intercom phone line. Each desk station can support up to
eight cordless handsets. Each handset can be registered with two desk stations.
A cordless handset can handle two calls at a time. The desk station can handle three calls simultaneously. This means the system
as a whole can handle five callers at one time.
The cordless handset must stay within 200 feet of the desk station. The handset's range and the superior sound quality produced
by the use of higher frequencies is affected by walls and other structural barriers.
