Getting started

Add and register a handset

Each newly purchased handset (CS6209) must be registered to the
telephone base (CS6219, CS6228 or CS6229) before use. When rst
purchased, each expansion handset shows NOT REGISTERED.

To make registration easier, read all of the instructions on this page
before you begin. If the handset screen does not show LOW BATTERY or

HANDSET X, you will need to charge the handset for at least ve minutes

before registering to the telephone base.

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 (until the red IN USE light on the
telephone base turns on) and then release the
button. The handset shows PLEASE WAIT...
and it takes about 10 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.

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.

If the registration fails, the handset shows NOT REGISTERED. To reset the
handset, remove the handset from the telephone base or charger and place it
back in. Try the registration process again.

You cannot register a handset if any other system handset is in use.
Only one handset can be registered at a time.
