Changing the Digital Security Code

The digital security code is an identification code used to connect the handset and the base. Your unit ships from the manufacturer with a preset security code. Resetting this code is not normally necessary. In the rare situation that you suspect another cordless telephone is using the same security code or if you are instructed to change this code by a manufacturer’s Call Center Representative, you can change the code. To change the digital security code:

1. Reset the handset (see Resetting the Handset on page 59).

2. Re-register each handset (see Registering Accessory Handsets on page 20).

Traveling Out of Range

During a call, if you move your handset too far from your base, noise may increase. If you pass the range limit of the base, the handset will beep, display OUT OF RANGE, and then go to standby. The base will maintain the connection for 30 seconds after the handset goes out of range. If you move the handset back within range of the base within 30 seconds, press [ / flash] or [ ] to pick up the call again.

Common Issues
