Before registering an additional handset, make sure that the

handset battery is installed and charged.

charger. If PRESS FIND HNDST 4 SEC ON BASE does

not appear on the handset screen after a few seconds,

remove the handset and place it in the telephone base

On the telephone base, press and hold FIND HANDSET

handset will be assigned the next available handset

registration number. For instance, if you already have

Replacing a handset

When you are replacing rather than adding a handset, for

your handsets to be numbered sequentially, you need to

delete all the handset registrations on the telephone base,

then register all handsets again.

To de-register all handsets:

Press and hold FIND HANDSET on the telephone base for

about 10 seconds (until the IN USE light on the telephone

base turns on and starts to flash), then release the FIND

HANDSET button.

Press and release FIND HANDSET again. You must press

FIND HANDSET while the IN USE light is still flashing. The

IN USE light will flash for approximately seven seconds.

Soon all handsets registered to the same telephone

base will show CONNECTING... and it will take about

10 seconds to complete the de-registration process. All

handsets will show NOT REGISTERED if de-registration

is successful.

Getting started

If the de-registration process is not successful, you may need to reset the system

and try again.

To reset:

Pick up the registered handset and then press /FLASH.

Press OFF/CLEAR and place the handset back in the telephone base.

-OR-

Unplug the power from the telephone base, then plug it back in.
