Getting started
Add and register a handset
Each newly purchased handset (CS6209) must be registered to the telephone base (CS6219, CS6228 or CS6229) before use. When first purchased, each expansion handset shows NOT REGISTERED.
To make registration easier, read all of the instructions on this page before you begin. If the handset screen does not show LOW BATTERY or HANDSET X, you will need to charge the handset for at least five minutes before registering to the telephone base.
To register a handset:
1.Place the unregistered handset in the telephone base or charger. If PRESS FIND HS 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 or charger again.
2. On the telephone base, press and hold FIND HANDSET for about four seconds (until the red IN USE light on the
telephone base turns on) and then release the button. The handset shows PLEASE WAIT...
and it takes about 10 seconds to complete the
registration. The handset shows HANDSET X REGISTERED (X represents the handset
number assigned) and you hear a beep when the registration completes.
When the registration is complete, the newly registered handset is assigned the next available handset registration number. For instance, if you already have HANDSET 1 and HANDSET 2, the next registered handset is HANDSET 3.
If the registration fails, the handset shows NOT REGISTERED. To reset the handset, remove the handset from the telephone base or charger and place it back in. Try the registration process again.
You cannot register a handset if any other system handset is in use. Only one handset can be registered at a time.
