Adding new handsets

Your telephone can accommodate up to eight cordless handsets. You can add new hand-
sets (AT&T model EP590-2 sold separately) at any time, but each must be registered with
the base before use.
The handset provided with your EP5962 is automatically registered as Handset 1.
Additional handsets will be assigned in the order they are registered (HANDSET 2,
HANDSET 3, etc).
