Simultaneous Conversation Channels
DKT2204-CT
The DKT2204-CT cordless digital telephone has 10 operating channels available.
A common misconception is that this limits a customer to 10 cordless telephones. This 
is not the case. Each cordless digital telephone can operate on any of the 10 channels. 
When you turn on a cordless digital telephone, the telephone selects an available 
channel within its’ range. In a given cordless range, 10 simultaneous calls can be 
made. In most businesses, it is unlikely that all 10 channels will be in use at the same 
time. Typically 20 to 30 telephones can share the 10 channels.
Another factor is the distribution of the telephones in a facility. If your cordless digital 
telephones are disbursed throughout a facility, there should not be contention for 
channels. If there are more than 10 cordless digital telephones in one area and 10 users 
are using their cordless telephones, an 11
th
 user would not be able to connect at that 
time.
DKT2304-CT
The DKT2304-CT cordless handset has 30 operating channels available. A common 
misconception is that this limits a customer to 30 handsets. This is not the case. Each 
handset can operate on any of the 30 channels because each one selects an available 
channel within its range. In a given range, 30 simultaneous calls can be made.
Another factor is the distribution of the telephones in a facility. If your handsets are 
disbursed throughout a facility, there should not be contention for all channels. If there 
are more than 30 in one area and 30 users are using their handsets, the 31
st
 user would 
not be able to get dial tone.
