Adding new handsets

Your telephone can accommodate up to eight cordless handsets. You can add new hand- sets (AT&T model EP590-2 sold separately) at any time, but each must be registered with the base before use.

The handset provided with your EP5962 is automatically registered as Handset 1. Additional handsets will be assigned in the order they are registered (HANDSET 2, HANDSET 3, etc).

Before using a new handset, you must first register it with the base. During registration, you must enter the 15-digit ID number of the telephone base. To find this number, go to the base, select MENU, scroll down to DISPLAY BASE ID, then select OK.
