A HANDSET FOR EVERY USER

With your 27860 you can use up to 5 handsets on the same base: all you need is a power outlet to install a handset at key points all around the house.

With the multi-handset facility you can:

! Call one of the associated handsets free of charge. From now on, you can stay where you are - and

you're still available to take incoming calls.

! Make an outside call while two other group handsets are in communication with each other.

! Transfer calls from one handset to another.

! Bring another handset in on your conversation (3-way conference).

! Customize each handset with its own ringtone and 10-number address book.

The additional handset, fully compatible with your 27860 , is the 27861.

1. GETTING START

1.1 PRECAUTIONS FOR USE

The quality of communication depends on the location and environment of the base.

Your 27860 must be kept away from sources of excessive heat (radiators, direct sunlight, etc.) and protected against vibrations and dust. Never allow your telephone to come into contact with water or other liquids, or with aerosols.

To reduce the risk of interference and optimize reception, take particular care to keep it away from windows, large metal objects, reinforced concrete, televisions, music centers, halogen lamps or heating devices, fluorescent lighting, burglar alarms, microwave ovens, computers, etc.

To clean your 27860, use a lightly moistened antistatic cloth.
