The handset provided is pre-registered as HANDSET 1. Additional handsets registered to the
telephone system will be assigned in sequential order. For instance, if the telephone system already
has HANDSET 1 and you register another handset, it will become HANDSET 2.
In normal operating conditions, up to four handsets can be used at a time. For example, two handsets
can be on a HOME call and two handsets can be on a CELL call. However, if a cordless handset
is experiencing interference or is almost out of range, the number of handsets that can be used at
a time may be reduced.
The LS5145 telephone
system comes with one
registered handset.
Up to 12 handsets (LS5105
purchased separately)
can be registered to your
telephone system.
