Add and register a handset
The handsets provided with your telephone system are already registered. Each
handset is assigned a number that displays on the handset. Additional handsets
registered to the telephone system are assigned numbers in the sequential order.
This telephone system accommodates up to five handsets.
You can add new handsets (
DS6701, 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 displays
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.
Both the telephone base and the handset show Registering... Then both
devices show Registered and you hear a beep when the registration process
completes. The registration process takes about 60 seconds to complete.
Deregister handsets
If you want to replace a handset or reassign the designated handset number of a
registered handset, you must deregister all handsets and then individually register
each handset.
Remove any handset put in the telephone base before deregistration.
To deregister all handsets:
Press and hold FIND HANDSET on the telephone base for about 0 seconds
until the telephone base shows Registering... then De-register?
Immediately press and release SELECT or FIND HANDSET. The telephone
base displays Please wait.
All handsets show To register HS... and ...see manual alternately when the
deregistration process completes. The deregistration process takes about
0 seconds to complete.

Maintenance
Taking care of your telephone
Your cordless telephone contains sophisticated electronic parts, so it must be treated with care.
Avoid rough treatment
Place the handset down gently. Save the original packing materials to protect your telephone if you ever need
to ship it.
Avoid water
Your telephone can be damaged if it gets wet. Do not use the handset outdoors in the rain, or handle it with
wet hands. Do not install the telephone base near a sink, bathtub or shower.
Electrical storms
Electrical storms can sometimes cause power surges harmful to electronic equipment. For your own safety,
take caution when using electrical appliances during storms.
Cleaning your telephone
Your telephone has a durable plastic casing that should retain its luster for many years. Clean it only with a soft
cloth slightly dampened with water or mild soap. Do not use excess water or cleaning solvents of any kind.
