Auto Registration

When the Handset is placed in the Base Unit, the Handset transmits a registration packet to the Base via the
charger terminals. The Base Unit enables registration and broadcasts registration data via the air interface.
The Handset locks to this Base, and registration is completed.
When a new Handset transmits a registration packet to a Base Unit, the Base check how many Handsets there
are already registered. In case 4 Handsets are already registered, the Base Unit starts to search for them. If it
can locate all, then the 5th Handset can't be registered, and registration is blocked. In case a Handset that
already is registered is out of range, or, for other reasons, does not reply to the search and notification request,
it will be de-registered, and the registration procedure for the new Handset is initiated.
The Handset registration procedure must be completed within the time-out limit of 45 seconds. A second
Handset cannot be registered during an ongoing registration procedure.
In case of heavy air interference, e.g. when many 2.4GHz products are active in the same area, the registration
duration may be longer, since registration consists of data transfer, which, in contrast to audio, has to be error
free.
The way to de-register a Handset and register it to another Base Unit is to power down the Base Unit, and
place the Handset into a different Base cradle. After powering down the first Base Unit, the Handset is no
longer linked to it, and can be registered to another base. When the Handset is placed in the other Base cradle,
a new registration will take place, and the old registration doesn't exist any more.
