10.1 Adding an Additional Handset
The procedure to add a new handset to your existing primary base is as follows.
1/ Fit batteries and charge the new handset fully. see Section 1 “
Initial Setup
”
2/ Permit the new handset to connect to your existing primary base as “Base 1”
(see Section 10.2) “
Register / Subscribe / Pair additional handsets to a base
”
Note if the “new” handset was sold as a stand alone set with its own full base unit as
opposed to a spare unprogrammed handset only, then it will already be subscribed to
its own base as “Base 1” so subscribing it to the primary base as Base 1 will
automatically remove its subscription from the base it was supplied with to prevent
accidental connection to this now ”wrong” Base.
3/ Change both handsets to Base Select “manual” so they ignore the “new” base for
communication (which can then be used as a charger and not connected to the
phone line at all)
(see “
Base Select Manual Section 10.4
” )
10.2 Register / Subscribe / Pair a Handset to a Base
or Register / Subscribe / Pair Additional Handsets to a Base
Note !!! You only need to register / subscribe the handset if:
• The handset subscription has been removed or lost from the base unit.
• If you want to subscribe a replacement or additional handset to this base unit.
Procedure-
Press Menu/OK Key. Use the Up and Down Keys to scroll to ‘
REGISTER
’ and press OK.
Use
the UP or Down key to select
the number of the base unit you would like to subscribe the
handset to (1-4) usually Base 1 for single phone line installations. The unit will start
searching for the base signal and if found it will ask you to enter the pin code.
Enter the base pin code (default is 0000) and press Menu/OK.
When the “Press Base” message is displayed,
Press and HOLD the Base Page Key for 10
seconds then release it ON THE BASE YOU WISH TO COMMUNICATE THROUGH. (the one
connected to the telephone line ).
After a few seconds of searching when the handset is registered, it will show ‘HANDSET”’
followed by the handset number. (as second handset it will show Handset 2)
Alternatively you may press the Base Page Key for ten seconds at the beginning but you
must complete the subscription within 3 minutes pressing Menu/OK to clear the “Press
Base” message when it is displayed.
10.3 Removing a Handset (De Register or Unsubscribe)
This function will only work when more than one handset is registered to the base!
Note: You can only remove existing handsets other than the one you are
using to perform this task.
