Add and register a handset

Each newly purchased handset (LS6205) must be registered to the
telephone base (LS6215 or LS6225) before use. When rst purchased,
each expansion handset shows NOT REGISTERED.

When rst purchased, each expansion handset shows NOT REGISTERED.
You may need to charge the handset before registering to the telephone
base. For more details on battery charging, see the table on page 2.

To register a handset:

Place the unregistered handset in the telephone base or charger. If
PRESS FIND HS 4 SEC ON BASE does not appear on the handset
screen after a few seconds, remove the handset and place it in the
telephone base or charger again.

On the telephone base, press and hold

/FIND HANDSET for about four seconds and

then release the button. The handset shows
PLEASE WAIT... and it takes up to 60 seconds
to complete the registration. The handset shows
HANDSET X REGISTERED (X represents the
handset number assigned) and you hear a
beep when the registration completes.

Make sure you press and hold the center of /FIND HANDSET in this step.

If you do not, the telephone base may not detect the key press. If you have

difculty, repeat this step.

When the registration is complete, the newly registered handset is assigned
the next available handset registration number. For instance, if you already
have HANDSET 1 and HANDSET 2, the next registered handset is
HANDSET 3.

it back in. Try the registration process again.
