Adding new handsets
Your telephone can accommodate up to four cordless handsets. You can add new
handsets (E560-2, purchased separately) to the E5655 at any time, but each handset
must be registered with the base before use.
The handset provided with your E5655 is automatically registered as Handset 1.
Additional handsets will be assigned numbers in the order they are registered (Handset
2, Handset 3, or Handset 4). You can register a maximum of 4 handsets.
The E5654B has four handsets automatically registered as Handsets 1, 2, 3 and 4. You
cannot register any additional handsets to the E5654B.
Handset 1 Handset 2 Handset 3
Handset 4
Before using a new E560-2 handset, you must register it
with the base. During registration, you must enter the
15-digit ID number of the telephone base.
To locate the Base ID number, press
SELECT/MENU
on
the base, scroll down to highlight DISPLAY BASE ID,
then press SELECT/MENU . The screen will display the
unique ID code for the system. This number can be used
when adding or replacing handsets.
To add a new handset:
• Make sure your handset battery is properly installed
and charged.
• Your handset will display ENTER BASE ID.
• On your handset enter the 15-digit base ID number
from the base menu.
• Press
SELECT/MENU
on the handset to accept the
code and complete registration.
NOTE: If an invalid base ID code is entered, you will hear an error tone
and the handset will continue to display ENTER BASE ID. To make correc-
tions while entering the code, you can erase digits by pressing the DELETE
key.
Once a valid base ID code is entered and accepted , the
new handset will be assigned the next available handset
number (Handset 2, Handset 3, or Handset 4). You can
register a maximum of four handsets per base unit.
