Adding new handsets

Your telephone can accommodate up to four cordless handsets. You can add new handsets (E597-1, sold separately) to the E5926, E5927B, E5937B and E1937B at any time, but each handset must be registered with the base before use.

The handset provided with your E5926 is automatically registered as handset 1. Additional handsets will be assigned numbers in the order they are registered (handset 2, handset 3, or handset 4). You can register a maximum of four handsets.

The E5927B has two handsets automatically registered as handset 1 and 2. You can register two additional handsets, which will be assigned number 3 and 4.

The E5937B/E1937B has three handsets automatically registered as handset 1, 2 and 3. You can register one additional handset, which will be assigned number 4.

The E5947B has four pre-registered handsets, so you cannot register any additional handset to it.
