the handset and not the base.

Each handset is initially set up as
common. This means that the
Phonebook and Calls list are both
updated by the base and shared
with other handsets in the system.
If you want an independent
Phonebook and Calls list in an
individual handset, make the
handset personal instead.
If you have a phone system with
one or more handsets set to
personal and the others set to
common, note the following:
– Changing a handset from
Personal to Common causes the
personal Phonebook and Calls
list to be replaced, not
supplemented, by the common
lists. Updating the Phonebook
and Calls list may take a few
minutes.
