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 more than ve seconds, until
the SYSTEM RESET menu appears.

Press [ ] to move the cursor to BASE UNAVAILABLE and
then press [Menu/Select]. WHICH BASE? appears.

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

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

[Menu/Select]. You hear a conrmation tone, and the

handset deletes its own link to the base without trying to
contact the base.

Now you are ready to register the handset to the new base.
