Setting the Walk and Talk mode

The Walk and Talk function allows two handsets to communicate with each other no

matter how far they are from the base station.
Example: You go on holiday and take two handsets with Walk and Talk functionality

with you. Set the Walk and Talk function on both handsets. You can now communicate

using the handsets.
Precondition:

Both handsets have been registered to the same base station or

Both handsets are registered to different base stations and both are set to Best
