Replacing a handset

You may need to deregister your handsets if:
You have twelve registered handsets and need to replace a handset.

You wish to change the designated handset number of your registered
handsets.

You must first deregister ALL the handsets, and then re-register each handset

beginning the deregistration process.

To deregister all handsets

handset and place it back into the telephone base, then start again with
step one above.)

seconds to complete the deregistration process. ALL handsets will show
NOT REGISTERED when deregistration is successful.
