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 and the WXI2077 series. (See our website or contact Customer Service for an up-to-date list of compatible models.)

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 15). Press END to close the list and return to standby.

Registering the handset to another base

To register a handset to another base:

1)Make sure the handset battery is fully charged. ) 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 the Find Handset key* while you reconnect the adapter. Keep holding the Find Handset key until the charge LED starts to blink..

*This key might be labeled Find or Find HS.

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. The handset assigns its own ID to this base, too. (Since the base ID is based on the order in which the handset was registered to the different bases, a base may have different IDs on each handset.)

If Registration failed appears in the LCD, please try these steps again.

Note: The handset will stay connected to the new base until you select a different base (see below).
