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)
You can add new handsets ( DS6201, 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:
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.
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 about 10 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.
