Adding new handsets

Your telephone can accommodate up to four cordless handsets. You can add new hand-
sets (E597-1, sold separately) to the E5926, E5927B, E5937B and E1937B at any time,
but each handset must be registered with the base before use.
The handset provided with your E5926 is automatically registered as Handset 1.
Additional handsets will be assigned numbers in the order they are registered (Handset
2, Handset 3, or Handset 4). You can register a maximum of 4 handsets.
The E5927B has 2 handsets automatically registered as Handset 1 and 2. You can regis-
ter two additional handsets, which will be assigned number 3 and 4.
The E5937B/E1937B has 3 handsets automatically registered as Handset 1, 2 and 3. You
can register one additional handset, which will be assigned number 4.
The E5947B has 4 pre-registered handsets, so you cannot register any additional hand-
set to it.
