Using additional handsets

Multiple registration

You can use up to 4 handsets with your DECTfax base station. A handset can be registered with up to 4 DECT base stations.

For each handset to interact with the base station, they must be registered with it. Your handset is pre-registered with the base station as handset number 1.

Once you have more than one handset registered with your DECTfax base station, you can transfer calls from the base station to a handset, or from one handset to another.

To register a handset

A handset can be registered to the base station only if the handset security code on the base station matches the code on the handset. Both these codes are preset to 0000, but you can change the code at the base station to make it possible to register a handset to the base only with your authorisation.

If you want to keep the code as 0000 then you can register handsets using the simple method. If you want to change the code, or register a

handset to more than one base station, handsets must be registered using the customised method.

The simple method

Use this method if you have only one base station and the handset security code is 0000.
