Freelance XC 500  ~ 1st Edition ~ 6th March ’03 ~ 5165

Using additional handsets 
and bases

Up to 5 handsets can be
registered and operated from any
one Freelance XC 500 base. This
allows you to make internal calls
between two handsets while a
third is making an external call.

Each handset can be registered 
on up to 4 bases.

Each additional handset you
purchase must be registered with 
the base. (If you have purchased
the Twin, this will already be 
pre-registered.)

Your handset supplied is 
pre-registered as Handset 1 to its
base (

Base 1

).

Note

Remember to charge batteries 
of new handsets for at least 16
hours before use.

If the display shows 

NOT REG

and

the 

symbol is flashing, your

handset is not yet registered with

the base.
