Register Handset
Before registering an additional handset (EP562),
make sure that the handset battery is installed and
charged.
To register a new handset:
1. Place the unregistered handset in the telephone
base or charger.
2. Press the MENU softkey on the telephone base
while in idle mode.
3. Press the UP and DOWN NavKeys to highlight
Register Handset, then press the SELECT
softkey.
• Registering Handset will appear on the
telephone base display.
• Registration in progress... will appear on
the handset display.
• The registration process may take up to 90
seconds to complete.
When the registration process is complete, the
telephone base and handset will generate a
confirmation tone. The newly registered handset will
be assigned the next available handset registration
number. For instance, if you already have two
registered handsets, HANDSET 1 and HANDSET 2,
the next registered handset will be HANDSET 3.
If Registration Failed appears on the handset
display, make sure the telephone base and
handset(s) are in idle mode. Pick up the handset
from the telephone base or charger then repeat
the above steps. See the Troubleshooting section
on page 94 for more information.
If you want your handsets in sequential order, you
must delete all the handset registrations (page
45), then re-register each handset as described in
the above steps.
