Expanding Your Phone

Adding accessory handsets

Your phone supports a total of ten cordless handsets, including any that were supplied with your phone. You can now place a fully-featured cordless handset anywhere AC power is available to connect the charging cradle.

Your phone is compatible with the DSS8905 and DSS8905WP accessory handset.

For instructions on connecting the charging cradle, see page 7.

If you purchase any accessory handsets separately, you must register the handsets to the base before you can use them. (Accessory handsets that come packaged with a base are already registered to that base.)

Registering accessory handsets

When charged, registered handsets display a handset ID number. Handsets that have not been registered display:

To register a DSS8905 accessory handset:

1)Charge the handset for 15-20 hours.

2)Place the handset in the base cradle for about thirty seconds. HANDSET REGISTERING will appear in the LCD.

3)When the handset has registered to the base, the LCD will display REGISTRATION COMPLETE then show the handset ID number.

If REGISTRATION FAILED appears in the LCD, please try these steps again.

Note: If a handset has ever been registered to a base, you must reset the handset before you can register it to a new base. See Resetting the Handset on page 55.

To register a DSS8905WP accessory handset see page 5 of the owner’s manual which comes with the DSS8905WP.
