Appendix

Expand your telephone system

The handsets provided with your telephone system are pre-registered. Each handset is assigned a number that shows on the handset display. Additional handsets registered to the telephone system are assigned in sequential order. For instance, if the telephone system already has HANDSET 1 and HANDSET 2, the new registered handset is assigned HANDSET 3. This telephone system accommodates up to 12 handsets.

Add and register a handset (optional)

To make registration easier, read all of the instructions on this page before you begin.

You can add new handsets (DS3201, purchased separately) to your telephone system, but each handset must be registered with the telephone base before use. When first purchased, each expansion handset shows NOT REGISTERED. You may need to charge the handset before registering to the telephone base. For more details on battery charging, see the table on page 3.

To register a handset:

1.Place the unregistered handset in the telephone base or charger. If PRESS FIND HS 4 SEC ON BASE does

not appear on the handset screen after a few seconds, remove the handset and place it in the telephone base or charger

again.

2. On the telephone base, press and hold FIND HANDSET for about four seconds (until the red IN USE light on the telephone base turns on) and then release the button.

The handset shows PLEASE WAIT... and it takes up to 60 seconds to complete the registration. The handset shows

HANDSET X REGISTERED (X represents the handset number assigned) and you hear a beep when the registration completes.

• If the registration fails, the handset shows NOT REGISTERED. To reset the handset, remove the handset from the telephone base and place it back in. Try the registration process again.

• You cannot register a handset if any other system handset is in use.
