GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

Tech/Engineering - Telecom(munications) / cordless phone user guide
English term or phrase: scope
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!

intention
Explanation:
Si ça vient du grec "skopos" qui signifie but, objectif, intention... Ici, il me semble que "intention" colle mieux... mais c'est un usage que je ne connaissait pas...
