Replace a handset

If you want to replace a handset or re-assign the designated handset number of a registered handset, you must de-register all the handsets and then individually register each handset.

To make de-registration easier, read all of the instructions on this page before you begin. To de-register all handsets:

1.Press and hold FIND HANDSET on the telephone base for about 10 seconds (until the IN USE light on the telephone base turns on and starts to flash), then release FIND HANDSET.

2.Press and release FIND HANDSET again. You must press FIND HANDSET while the IN USE light is still flashing. The IN USE light flashes for approximately seven seconds.

3.All system handsets show CONNECTING... The de-registration process takes about 10 seconds to complete. All handsets show NOT REGISTERED when the de-registration completes.

If de-registration fails, you might need to reset the telephone and try again. To reset:

1.Pick up the registered handset and then press .

2.Press OFF/CLEAR and place the handset back in the telephone base or charger.

-OR-

Unplug the power from the telephone base, then plug it back in.

You cannot de-register a handset if any system handset is in use.
