Expanding Your Phone

Adding accessory handsets

Your phone supports a total of six 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 DCX200 and DCX300 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 DCX200 or DCX300 accessory handset: ) Charge the handset for 15-20 hours.

2)With the phone in standby, press [Menu/Select] on the base.

3)Move the cursor to select the REGISTER HANDSET menu, and then press [Menu/Select]. HANDSET REGISTERING will appear.

4)On the handset, press and hold [#] until the handset beeps and displays HANDSET REGISTERING.

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

If the display shows REGISTRATION FAILED, repeat the process again.

Note: If a handset has ever been registered to a base, reset the handset before you register it to a new base (see Resetting the Handset on page 56). Or to use multiple bases, see the next section.
