Before registering an additional handset (EP562), make sure that the handset battery is installed and charged.

To register a new handset:

1.Place the unregistered handset in the telephone base or charger.

2.Press the MENU softkey on the telephone base while in idle mode.

3.Press the UP and DOWN Navkeys to highlight Register Handset, then press the SELECT softkey.

•Registering Handset will appear on the telephone base display.

•Registration in progress... will appear on the handset display.

•The registration process may take up to 90 seconds to complete.

When the registration process is complete, the telephone base and handset will generate a confirmation tone. The newly registered handset will be assigned the next available handset registration number. For instance, if you already have two registered handsets, HANDSET 1 and HANDSET 2, the next registered handset will be HANDSET 3.

If Registration Failure appears on the handset display, make sure the telephone base and handset(s) are in idle mode, then repeat the above steps. See the Troubleshooting section on page 92 for more information.

If you want your handsets in sequential order, you must delete all the handset registrations (page 45), then re-register each handset as described in the above steps.
