Can I use a different type of BT cordless phone with my existing base?

To find out if you can use a different type of BT cordless phone with your base, you need to know if it is GAP compatible. To check, go to the user guide for your phone >

If your phone is not GAP compatible:

You can only use extra phones that are the same model with your base

If your phone is GAP compatible:

You should be able to register your phone to the base but it is not guaranteed that all features will work
Phones that are GAP compatible are only required to:
- make and receive calls
- ring for incoming internal, external and paging calls
In most cases, the phone will show Caller Display information but it is not mandatory

There is also a limit to the number of phones that you can register to a base. For more information, see the user guide for your phone >
