Registering the Handset

To make calls the handset must be registered to the base unit. This is preset. However, if you bought an extra handset or de-registered a handset, you may see the message Unregistered on the phone’s LCD screen. To register the handset when the Unregistered message has displayed:

1.Press Reg.

2.Press the middle button (PAGE) on the base station. When you release it, the lights will flash.

3.If asked, enter the System PIN (default: 0000). Use Clear to make a correction.

4.Press OK to confirm. The handset will start searching for the base station.

5.After successful registration, the signal strength icon will display steadily on the handset screen. If registration failed, repeat these steps.

NOTE: Your base station can register up to 4 handsets. When 4 handsets are registered, the base station memory becomes full and no further handsets can be registered to that base station.

Checking the Signal Strength

The signal icon displays the link status between the handset and base station. If the signal icon displays, the handset and base station are communicating and calls can be made and received.

If you don’t see the Signal Strength icon, you may be too far from the base station. Move the handset closer to the base station. If you are on a call and losing signal strength, you will hear warning tones, which gives you time to move the handset and base station closer together.
