8. Several handsets
Up to four handsets can be operated with your base station at any one time. Additional
handsets can be obtained from your AUDIOLINE dealer with the designation DECT
5501+.
When using a number of handsets, you have the following possibilities:
- internal calls between the handsets,
- external calls can be forwarded between the handsets,
- incoming external calls are signalled on all handsets.
Notice: Thanks to the international GAP standard, handsets from other manufacturers
can also be used with the telephone system. Conversely, an AUDIOLINE DECT5500+
handset can be used with base stations from other manufacturers, provided they
implement the GAP standard.
Notice: If one of the handsets is already using the external line, the indicator light shows
on the speaker of all the handsets. No further external call can be made or taken.
8.1 Internal calls
Once you have a number of handsets on a base station, you can make internal calls.
To do so, press the
button and then the number of the handset being called. On the
handset called, the call is taken by pressing the call button,

8.2 Connecting external calls to another handset
If you have taken an external call on one handset, you can connect the call to another
handset. To do so, press the
button and then the number of the handset being
called. Once the internal call is taken on the other handset, you have the following
possibilities:
A. Three way calling: you can now speak with the internal caller and use the
button to switch back to the external caller. You can switch between the internal and
external connections as often as you wish.
B. Forward the call: By pressing the call button,
