Add and register a handset

Each newly purchased handset (DS6101) must be registered to the telephone base (DS6151) before use. When first purchased, each expansion handset shows Press [HOLD] on base for 4 sec, then press [#] on handset. You may need to charge the handset before registering to the telephone base. For more details on battery charging, see the table on page 2.

To make registration easier, read all of the instructions on this page before you begin.

To register a handset:

1.Place the unregistered handset in the telephone base. If Press [HOLD] on base for 4 sec, then press [#] on handset does not appear on the handset screen after a few seconds, remove the handset and place it in the telephone base again.

2.Press and hold HOLD on the telephone base for about four seconds until the telephone base displays Registering handset. While the handset is still in the telephone base, press # (pound key) on the handset. The handset shows Registering... Please wait and it takes up to 60 seconds to complete the registration. The handset and the telephone base show 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, the next registered handset will be HANDSET 2. Then your first handset will be renamed as HANDSET 1.
