Using Multiple Bases

The handsets supplied with your phone can be registered to a total of four different bases. Compatible bases include the DECT1500 series, the DECT2000 series, and the DECT3000 series. Once your handset is registered to more than one base, you can set the handset to search automatically the available base, or you can select manually which base the handset should connect to (for example, if you have one base with an answering machine, you can tell the handset to connect that base to check messages).

Note: To confirm how many bases the handset is registered to, open the SELECT BASE submenu (follow the step 1 of Selecting the base on page 21). Press [ ] to close the list and return to standby.

Registering the Handset to Another Base

To register a handset to another base:

) Make sure the handset battery is fully charged.

2) If the other base has an LCD display:

•With the phone in standby, press [Menu/Select] on the base. Move the cursor to select the REGISTER HANDSET menu, and then press [Menu/Select]. HANDSET REGISTERING will appear.

If the other base does not have an LCD display:

•Disconnect the base AC adapter. Then press and hold [find hs] or [find] while you reconnect the adapter.. Keep pressing [find hs] or [find] until the charge LED starts to blink.

3)On the handset, press [Menu/Select]. Select the REGISTER BASE menu. HANDSET REGISTERING will appear in the display. (After step 2, you have thirty seconds to complete this step 3 before the system returns to standby.)

4)Wait approximately thirty seconds. REGISTRATION COMPLETE will be displayed to indicate the handset has been registered to the base and a handset ID will be automatically assigned.

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

Selecting the Base

When your handset is registered to another base, it will automatically connect to the base. A base ID (that is for the handset only) will be assigned in the order of registration. You can either select a base you want to use manually, or set to AUTO. If you set to AUTO, when the handset comes out of range, it searches automatically the available base in order of base ID.
