Expand your telephone system

The handset provided with your telephone system is pre-registered as HANDSET. Additional handsets registered to the telephone system are assigned in sequential order. If you register another new handset to your telephone system, the new registered handset is assigned HANDSET 2. This telephone system accommodates up to 12 handsets.

Add and register a handset (optional)

You can add new handsets (DS6101, 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 Press [HOLD] on base for 4 sec, then press [#] on handset. You may need to charge the handset before registering to the telephone base. For more details on battery charging, see the table on page 5.

To register a handset:

1.Place the unregistered handset in the telephone base. If Press [HOLD] on base for 4 sec, then press [#] on handset does not appear on the handset screen after a few seconds, remove the handset and place it in the telephone base again.

2.Press and hold HOLD on the telephone base for about four seconds until the telephone base displays Registering handset, then, while the handset is still in the telephone base, press # on the handset. The handset shows Registering... Please wait and it takes up to 60 seconds to complete the registration. The handset and the telephone base show HANDSET X Registered (X represents the handset number assigned) and you hear a beep when the registration completes.
