Expand Your Telephone System; Add And Register A Handset - VTech DS6511 User Manual

Appendix

Expand your telephone system

Your telephone base can support up to five handsets. Each handset must be
registered to the telephone base before use.
The handsets provided within your product package are already registered as
HANDSET 1 and so forth. You can add new handsets (DS6501/DS6501-12/
DS6501-15/DS6501-16, purchased separately) to your telephone base. Additional
handsets are assigned numbers in the sequential order they are registered (up to
HANDSET 5).

Add and register a handset

When first purchased, each expansion handset alternately shows To register HS...
and ...see manual. The new handset should be charged without interruption for at
least 30 minutes before registering it to the telephone base.
To register a handset:
1. Place the new/non-registered handset in the telephone base.
2. Wait for about 10 seconds. The handset shows Registering... then Registered
and you hear a beep when the registration process completes. The registration
process takes about 90 seconds to complete.
If registration fails, the handset displays Failed. Please start again from
Step 1 above.
• You cannot register a handset if any other system handset is in use.
• If you have not set the date and time for the telephone system, the handset will
prompt you to set the date and time after it is registered to the base. To skip
setting, press CANCEL.
Do not place the handset
in the charger.
