GE 27911 - Manual (Page 2)

De-Register
Deregistration cancels registration. During the deregistration process, keep the
handset near the base.
WARNING: It is not recommended that a handset be deregistered
unless absolutely necessary because once a handset is deregistered,
that handset’s telephone features cannot be used until the handset
is re-registered.
From the Registration Menu:
1. Press the cid/vol (3or4) button to scroll to the
Remove handset sub-menu.
2. Press menu button to enter the menu. The screen displays Remove handset?.
3. Press menu button again to confirm de-registration.
Intercom Operation
The intercom feature allows you to have a conversation with another registered
handset without tying up the telephone line, allowing you to still receive incoming
calls.
NOTE: The function is applicable only with additional handsets.
NOTE: The following procedures can ONLY be done when registered
to Model 27909.
Handset to Handset Intercom Call
1. Make sure the originating phone is OFF (not in talk mode).
2. Press the menu button and use the cid/vol (3or4) button to scroll to Intercom.
3. Press the menu button to enter the menu. The screen displays INT - Number? .
4. Use the touch-tone pad to input the number of the handset you want to page.
(For example: press 1 to page handset 1.)
5. The receiving handset is paged and emits a tone.
NOTE: To cancel the page, press the talk/call back button on the
originating handset.
8. Wait for the person at the receiving handset to press the talk/call back button.
NOTE: If the receiving handset does not answer within two minutes,
the intercom call is automatically canceled and the originating
handset displays NO ANSWER.
9. When finished, press the talk/call back on either handset to deactivate the
intercom.
Three-Way Conferencing
You may have a 3-way conversation using the handset, the base and an open line.
1. When the phone rings, press the talk/call back button on the handset and press
the Speaker button on the base.

parties will hear conference alert tone.

base cradle) and press the Speaker button again to hang up.
NOTE: If the phone system is expanded to more than one handset,
only 2 handsets and the base will be allowed in a telephone line
conference. When the third handset attempts to join the conference,
the screen displays Unavailable and an error tone is emitted. When a
handset is in use (in talk mode), the other handset(s) screen displays
Line in use.
Changing the Battery
