3. Enable the devices to enter the communication.
All the parameters, including the volume settings, are stored and remain the
same if the device is switched off or the battery removed.
Assigning a Number to a Device
To set a communication, you must first identify all the devices that will take
part in the conference and assign a number to each of them.
There may be between 2 to 6 devices in a conference, with numbers 01 to
06.
Each device has a unique number that identifies it. One device must be set
with number 01.

Avoid assigning the same identifier to several devices as this will prevent the
communication from being set.
