TM
The GAP standard guarantees that all DECT GAP handsets and base stations comply with a minimum
operating standard irrespective of their make.Your Onis 300 handset and base station are GAP
compliant, which means the minimum guaranteed functions are : register a handset, take the line, receive a
call and dial.The advanced features may not be available if you use another handset than an Onis 300 with
your base station.
To register and use your Onis 300 handset with a GAP standard base station of a different make, first
follow the procedure described in the manufacturer’s instructions, then follow the procedure page 12.
To register a handset from another make to the Onis 300 base station, place the base station into
