Changing the Digital Security Code

The digital security code is an identification code used to connect the handset and the base unit. Normally, setting the code is not necessary. In the rare situation that you suspect another cordless telephone is using the same security code, you can change the code. To change the digital security code:

1.Perform the “System Reset” menu options (“De-register the Handset” and “Replacing the Base Setting”) for all the handsets you have. (See “System Reset” on page 30).

2.To register all the handsets do the following steps:

1)Place a handset, one at a time in the base.

2)Registration starts automatically.

While registering “Handset Registering” appears in the display.

3)When the registration is complete, “Registration Complete” appears in the display.

4)Repeat steps 1-3 for another handset(s).

If the registration fails, “Registration Failed” appears in the display. Try the steps above again.

Installing the Beltclip

To attach the beltclip

Insert the beltclip into the holes on each side of the handset.

Press down until it clicks.

To remove the beltclip

Pull both sides of the beltclip to release the tabs from the holes.

Headset Installation
