L When callers leave messages, the unit
records the day and time of each
message. Make sure the time and date
have been set (page 9).

prerecorded greeting message for callers
and ask them to leave messages. If the
message recording time (page 29) is set to
“GREET ONLY”, caller messages will not be
recorded and the unit will play a different
prerecorded greeting message asking

Operating additional units
Additional handsets
Up to 6 handsets can be registered to a
single base unit. Additional handsets will
give you the freedom to, for example, have
an intercom call with another handset while
a third handset is on an outside call. See
page 3 for information on ordering additional
handsets.
Additional base units
Handsets can be registered to up to 4 base
units, allowing you to add additional base
units and extend the area in which your
handset(s) can be used. If a handset moves
out of range of its base unit when “AUTO” is
selected on base unit selection (page 31), it
will look for another base unit to make or
receive calls. A base unit and the handsets
it communicates with is called a “radio cell”.
Note:
L Calls will be disconnected when the
handset moves from one radio cell to
another.
L Intercom calls and call transfers are only
possible between handsets in the same
radio cell.
Registering a handset to a
base unit
To register an additional handset to a
base unit (easy registration)
The included handset and base unit are
preregistered. After purchasing an
additional handset, register it to the base
unit using the following method.
1 Lift the additional handset and press
{ih}.
2 Press and hold {x} on the left side of the
base unit for about 5 seconds, until the
registration tone sounds.
3 Place the additional handset on the base
unit. The registration tone continues to
sound. With the handset still on the base
unit, wait until a confirmation tone sounds
and w stops flashing.
Note:
L If an error tone sounds, or if w is still
flashing, register the handset manually
(manual registration).
L If all registered handsets start ringing in
step 2, press {x} to stop, then start again.
L Charge the batteries of your additional
handset for about 7 hours before initial
use.
To register a handset to an additional
base unit (manual registration)
You can register a handset to a base unit
manually using the following method.

step 5, press {x} to stop, then start again
from step 1.
Selecting a base unit
When “AUTO” is selected, the handset will
automatically use any available base unit it
is registered to. When a specific base unit is
selected, the handset will make and receive
calls using that base unit only. If the handset
is out of range of that base unit, no calls can
be made.

L The handset starts searching for the
base unit.
Note:
L When a handset is registered to another
base unit, this setting will automatically
change to that base unit’s number even if
“AUTO” was selected.
Cancelling a handset
A maximum of 6 handsets can be registered
to a base unit. A handset can cancel its own
registration (or the registration of another
handset) that is stored in the base unit. This
will allow the base unit to “forget” the
handset.
1 Press {j}.
