Add and register a handset
You can add new handsets ( DS6501/DS6501-12/DS6501-15/DS6501-16,
purchased separately) to your telephone system. Each handset must be registered
with the telephone base before use. When first purchased and properly charged,
each expansion handset shows To register HS... and ...see manual alternately.
Charge the handset before registering it to the telephone base.
To register a handset:
Place the new/non-registered handset in the telephone base.
Wait for about 0 seconds. The handset shows Registering... then Registered
and you hear a beep when the registration process completes. The registration
process takes about 90 seconds to complete.
If registration fails, the handset displays Failed. Try the registration process again.
You cannot register a handset if any other system handset is in use.
If you have not set the date and time for the telephone system, the handset will
prompt you to set the date and time after it is registered to the base. To skip
setting, press CANCEL.
Deregister handsets
If you want to replace a handset, or reassign the designated handset number of
a registered handset, you must deregister all handsets that are registered to the
telephone base. Then register each handset individually.

Press and hold /FIND HANDSET on the telephone base for about 0 seconds
until the IN USE light on the telephone base turns on and starts flashing.
Immediately press /FIND HANDSET again. You must press /FIND HANDSET
while the IN USE light is still flashing. The IN USE light flashes for approximately
five seconds.
