The original Handset that is shipped with your VT5831 system will be
automatically registered to the Base. This Handset is HANDSET 1.
As you register additional Handsets to the system, they will be assigned extension
numbers in the following order: HANDSET 2, HANDSET 3, etc.
Whenever a charged Handset battery pack is installed, the Handset will automatically
begin SEARCHING FOR BASE (if previously registered), or it will prompt you to
ENTER BASE ID to register the new Handset.

Charging of the Handset Battery Pack
The Handset of your VT5831 cordless telephone is powered by a rechargeable battery
pack. It charges automatically whenever the Handset is in its charger.
You should charge the battery pack for 12 hours when you first receive your
phone. You’ll know the battery pack needs charging when:
• The low battery message is displayed :
• The Handset seems completely dead, the
LCD is completely clear and does not ac-
tivate when you press the keys.
