Register the Handset

If you purchase an expansion handset, you need to register the handset before use. 
Only one handset can be registered at a time. 

Handsets supplied with the phone are registered to the base by the factory. When 
charged, pre-registered handsets display a handset ID number. Handsets that have 
not been registered display 

M od el s  v a ry !  C h ar ge   ha n ds e t  on   th e  b a se   fo r 

r e gi s tr a ti on   or   re f er   to  O w ne r 's   Ma nu a l

. When you register an extra handset to 

the base, the handset ID will be assigned.

Register the expansion handset to main base

Before an expansion handset is registered, the battery pack MUST be charged for 15 
hours.

To register TCX805, simply place it in the main base. 

While the handset is registering, 

Ha n ds e t R eg i st er i ng

 will appear in the LCD. When 

R egistration complet e.

 is displayed, the handset has been registered to the base. If 

R e gi s tr a ti on   fa i le d .

 appears, please try these steps again.

To register a ELX500, TCX440, or TCX400 handset, follow the steps below:

1) Disconnect the AC adapter from the main base.
2) While pressing down 

find handset

, reconnect the AC adapter.

3) On the handset, press and hold # until you hear a beep.

While the handset is registering, 

Ha n ds e t R eg i st er i ng

 will appear in the LCD. When 

R egistration complet e.

 is displayed, the handset has been registered to the base. If 

R e gi s tr a ti on   fa i le d .

 appears, please try these steps again.

•An extra handset can 

be registered when the 
main base is in 
standby mode.

•If a handset has ever 

been registered to a 
different base, you 
must de-register the 
handset before you can 
register it to the new 
base (see page 30).
