8. Several handsets
Up to three 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+.
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 Ringing priority
When using a number of handsets, one handset can be set to ring before all the others.
You can also select the base station if, for example, you have a cord telephone connected
in parallel. In this case, it is the telephone and base station that ring first, before the
handsets. Even when a handset does not ring, the incoming call is visually indicated and
