Registering the Handset

You must register the handset to the base before you can use it. Only one handset can be registered at a time. (If an accessory handset has ever been registered to a base, you must reset the handset before you can register it to a new base.)

To register to a DECT3080 base:

Place the accessory handset in the base. While the handset is registering, HANDSET REGISTERING appears in the LCD. When REGISTRATION COMPLETE is displayed, the handset has been registered to the base.

To register to a DECT2060 or DECT2080 base:

Resetting the Handset

If you want to register the handset to a different base or replace a handset with another one, you must first clear the registration information from the base and the handset.

) Press and hold [ ] and [#] for at least five seconds, until the

[Select/menu]. You will hear a confirmation tone.

Resetting the Handset Without the Base

If the original base this handset was registered to is not available for some reason (for example, it is lost or somehow incapacitated), you can still reset the handset and use it with another base.

) Press and hold [ ] and [#] for at least five seconds, until the

SYSTEM RESET menu appears.

) Press [] to move the cursor to BASE UNAVAILABLE and then press [Select/menu].

3)Press [] to move the cursor to the base which you want to de-register from, and then press [Select/menu]. BASE UNAVAILABLE appears.

4)Press [] to move the cursor to YES, and then press

[Select/menu]. You hear a confirmation tone, and the handset deletes its own link to the base without trying to contact the base.
