Replace a handset

Getting started

If you want to replace a handset or reassign the designated handset number of a registered handset, you must de-register all the handsets and then individually register each handset.

To make de-registration easier, read all of the instructions on this page before you begin. To de-register all handsets:

1.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 /FIND HANDSET.

2.Press /FIND HANDSET again. You must press /FIND HANDSET while the IN USE light is still flashing. The IN USE light flashes for approximately seven seconds.

3.All system handsets show CONNECTING... The de-registration process takes about 10 seconds to complete. All handsets show NOT REGISTERED when the de-registration completes.

If de-registration fails, you might need to reset the telephone and try again. To reset:

1.Pick up the registered handset and then press .

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

-OR-

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