A pair of handsets (or two pairs of handsets at one time) can
function as two-way radios. This feature is called DirectLink. To
make a call with the DirectLink feature, you must activate this
feature on both handsets. While using the DirectLink feature, the
pair of handsets will not be able to make or receive normal phone
calls until this feature is deactivated; however, other handsets will
function normally.
