8-2. Re-registering Handsets

When you first put your handsets into the base, they are registered to the base so they can communicate with the base. There may be some times when you have to re-register your handsets to the base:

•When you want to change the handset-to-base code.

•When there is a power failure that lasts more than one hour.

•If a handset's battery is completely discharged. (The handset must be recharged for 15 - 20 hours before re- registering to the base.)

•Any time you experience difficulty connecting to the base to make or receive calls.

To re-register handsets:

1)	Pick up the handset from the base. Press and hold [find hs] on the base.
2)	While holding [find hs], place the handset in the base. The /in use LED on the base begins to flash,
	indicating the base is registering the handset. Wait for at least five seconds.

3)Pick up the handset from the base and press [TALK/flash]. If the display shows TALK, the handset is registered. If not, place the handset in the base to try again.

4)Press [END].

5)One by one, place each handset in the base and wait for at least five seconds. (You don't need to hold [find hs] this time.) Repeat steps 3 - 4.

8-3. Changing the Handset-to-base Code

The handset-to-base code prevents other cordless devices from accidentally connecting to your base. If the battery pack is completely discharged or removed, the handset can "forget" the handset-to-base code, and the handset will not be able to communicate with the base.

If any one of handsets can't communicate with the base, place that handset in the base cradle to reset the code. Wait at least five seconds, then pick up the handset and press [TALK/flash]. If the display shows TALK, the code is reset.

If the code does not reset or if you suspect another cordless telephone might be using the same code (a rare situation), you can change the handset-to-base code completely. Re-register all handsets to the base following the instructions in section 8-2 on Re-registering Handsets above. Any handsets that are not properly re- registered may not be able to communicate with the base.

8-4. Traveling Out of Range

During a call, as you begin to move your handset too far from your base, noise increases. If you pass the range limits of the base, your call will terminate within one minute.

8-5. Liquid Damage

Moisture and liquid can damage your cordless phone.

•If the handset or base is exposed to moisture or liquid, but only the exterior plastic housing is affected, wipe off the liquid, and use as normal.

•If moisture or liquid has entered the plastic housing (i.e. liquid can be heard in the phone or liquid has entered the handset battery compartment or vent openings on the base), follow the steps below:
