English to French Tech/Engineering Telecom(munications) cordless phone user guide

in the section called: Resetting the handset or the base
"If you reset the handset or the base, all the user selectable features restores to the factory preset initial settings: all the numbers in phonebook will be erased, as well as the incoming/outoing call lists etc. You can reset the handset without resetting the base or vice versa, it depends on the **scope** you have."

(Note: bad spelling/grammar as is in the orgininal text.)

This is the ONLY time the word "scope" is used in this manual, and I just don't understand what they mean.

any ideas?

Thank you!
