Decreased voice quality

If there is a decrease in voice quality while you are moving with a portable telephone, you may be
moving out of range from a system base station. There are three possible reasons for this:

The base station that covers the area you are moving into is busy or unable to pick up your call.

Large pieces of furniture or movable partitions block the signal between you and the base
station.

You have moved out of the range covered by your system. To reconnect, retrace your steps
until you are back in range.

Feature access with cordless telephones

It is possible to use many of the same system features available to a Business Communications
Manager telephone on your cordless telephone. For more information about features and the
special codes required to use them, refer to the feature card that came with your portable
telephone. The follow section describes the features the Companion and DECT handsets can
access.
