Adding new handsets

Your telephone can accommodate up to four cordless handsets. You can add new handsets (E597-1, purchased separately) to the E5917, E5938B and E5939B at any time, but each handset must be registered with the base before use.

The handset provided with your E5917 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 hand- sets.

The E5938B has two handsets automatically registered as handset 1 and 2. You can register two additional handsets, which will be assigned as number 3 and 4.

The E5939B has three handsets automatically registered as handset 1, 2 and 3. You can register one additional handset, which will be assigned as number 4.

The handset will show PLEASE WAIT... for a while.

The handset will show HS X REGISTERED and beep once if registration was successful.

NOTES:

1.If you are on a call, using the call log or directory, or another phone is on the same line, you cannot register a handset.

2.If the registration is not successful, the display will show NOT REGISTERED. Reset the handsets by lifting the handsets out of their cradle and then place the handsets back in the cradle.
