Handset Configuration
This section describes how to set up handsets on a base station. Note that there is one extra step for
setting up the first handset on a new base station.
Important First-time Installation Information
When performing the initial configurations on the handset, ensure that all the handsets you intend
to configure have fully-charged battery packs installed.
Since the handsets start scanning as soon as they are powered, you must set the handset ID #s first
when you configure the handset to avoid conflicts between handset signals and the possibility of
one set mirroring another.
If you install more than one base station on a system, ensure that you assign a unique Security code
to each base station. However, all base stations have the same three Handset ID numbers (1, 2, or
3), which identify the handset to the base station.
Identifying the Handsets to the System
Each of the three handsets registered to a base station share an identical Security code, but each
handset has a unique handset ID number of 1, 2, or 3.
The handset ID number the handset is assigned to maps back to the TCM/RJ-11 jack on the back
of the base station. The diagram below identifies which jack supports which handset ID number.
In turn, these numbers correspond to telephone records in the main system. In the system, these
records identify each telephone with a local number, referred to as a DN (directory number). Since
the records will be set up before you configure your handset, check with your system administrator
to determine which local has been assigned to which port. From there, you can identify which
Handset ID number should be assigned to each handset.
• Once the first handset has been configured, remove the battery pack from that handset and
place it in the second handset.
• Repeat for each handset you are configuring. The battery pack can be left in the last handset.
• After the final handset has been configured, fully-charged battery packs then can be placed
into the other handsets.
Note: When a base station is relocated, the Handset ID number follows the set
DN (system telephone record), if the Set relocation feature is on.
