Getting started

Add and register a handset

You can add new handsets (LS6405, purchased separately) to your telephone system. Each handset must be registered with the telephone base before use. When first purchased, each handset displays Put HS on BASE to register. You may need to charge the handset before registering it to the telephone base. For more details on battery charging, see page 3.

To register a handset:

1. Make sure the handset is out of the telephone base or handset charger and shows

Put HS on BASE to register and then place the handset in the telephone base.

2. The handset displays Registering...Please wait and the red IN USE light on the telephone base turns on. It takes about 90 seconds to complete the registration process. The handset displays HANDSET X Registered (X represents the registered

handset number). The IN USE light turns off and the handset beeps when registration completes.

If registration fails, the system will automatically try to register again. If registration fails after the third try, the

handset displays Registration failed then

Put HS on BASE to register. This may take up to five minutes to occur.

To reset the handset, remove it from the telephone base. When the handset displays Put HS on BASE to register, try the registration process again.

After registration, the date and time need to be reset.

Getting started

Deregister handsets

If you want to replace a handset, or reassign the designated handset number of a registered handset, you must deregister all handsets that are registered to the telephone base. Then register each handset individually.

To make deregistration easier, read all of the instructions on this page before you begin.

Make sure that all handsets are out of the telephone base and chargers before you begin deregistration.

To deregister all handsets:

1.Press and hold /FIND HANDSET on the telephone base for about 10 seconds until the IN USE light on the telephone base turns on and starts flashing.

2.Press and release /FIND HANDSET again. You must press /FIND HANDSET while the IN USE light is still flashing. The IN USE light flashes for approximately seven seconds.

3.The deregistration process takes about 10 seconds to complete. All handsets show Put HS on BASE to register.

If deregistration fails, you may need to reset the telephone base and try again.

To reset:

•Pick up the registered handset and then press /FLASH.

-OR-

•Unplug the power from the telephone base, then plug it back in.

You cannot deregister all handsets if any other system handset is in use.
