Appendix

Expand your telephone system

The handset(s) provided with your telephone system is pre-registered. 

Each handset is assigned a number that shows on the handset display. 

Additional handsets registered to the telephone system are assigned 

numbers 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 registration is completed.

1.

2.

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.
