Programming Channels (More

Than One Cordless Phone)

Channels 0-9 are available to MLC-6 cordless phones. If you use more than one cordless phone, you should program each one to operate on different channels to avoid channel interference.

To program channels:

1.Verify that the antennas on the base and handset are fully extended.

2.While the handset is turned off, press [ Feat ] and then press the Channel button.

CH C appears on the display to indicate that the phone is in channel program mode and ON flashes on the display.

3.Use the numeric dialpad keys to enter a digit for each channel (0-9) to be allocated to the handset. For example, if you have two MLC-6 cordless phones, assign channels 0-4 to the first phone and channels 5-9 to the second.

CH C disappears from the display and is replaced by whatever digit you enter. Wait for the digit to appear before entering the next one.

4.When you are finished, press the Channel button again.

To verify the channels you programmed:

1.Press the Channel button.

The first channel number programmed appears in the display.

2.Press the Channel button again.

If you programmed more than one channel, the second channel number appears on the display.

3.Continue pressing the Channel button to verify the rest of the channels programmed.

NOTE:

If you accidentally place a cordless handset in the wrong base, you will not be able to make or answer calls on the original handset. To solve the problem, replace each handset in its correct base for at least 10 seconds.
