DCX170 Handsets--General Information
-These handsets are compatible with Uniden phone models D1760,
D1780, D1785, D1788 ONLY. Before trying to register a handset,
verify that the handset and the phone system are in fact
compatible. You can register up to TWELVE handsets; if you have
more than twelve handsets already registered you cannot register
any more handsets. (To see how many handsets are registered,
press the intercom button on any handset that is already
registered and scroll up or down to see how many handsets are
listed). If you purchased your base unit USED you may need to
clear the base unit from any previously registered handsets
before adding more handsets.
