Appendix
Adding and registering handsets
Your telephone can accommodate up to four cordless handsets. You can add new
handsets (E598-1 or E598-2, sold separately) to the E5911/E5912B or E5913B at any
time, but each handset must be registered with the telephone base before use. Each
handset must be registered separately
The handset provided with your E5911 is automatically registered as handset 1.
Additional handsets will be assigned numbers in the order they are registered (handset
2, handset 3, and handset 4). You can register a maximum of four handsets.
The E5912B has two handsets automatically registered as handsets 1 and 2. You can
register two additional handsets, which will be assigned numbers 3 and 4.
The E5913B has three handsets automatically registered as handsets 1, 2 and 3. You
can register one additional handset, which will be assigned number 4.
The E5914B has four pre-registered handsets, so you cannot register any additional
handset to it.

Handsets purchased separately need to be registered to the
telephone base before use. When first purchased, all option-
al accessory handsets will show NOT REGISTERED on the
screen. The new handset may need to be charged for five
minutes before registering to the main telephone base.
To register a handset to your telephone base
1. Place the unregistered handset into the telephone base. If
PRESS HNDST LOC 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 again.
2. On the telephone base, press and hold
about four seconds (until the red IN USE light on the tel-
ephone base turns on) and then release the button. The hand-
set will show PLEASE WAIT... and it will take about 10 sec-
onds to complete the registration. The handset will show HS X
REGISTERED and will beep if the registration is successful.
NOTES:
1. If the registration is not successful, the display will show NOT REGISTERED.
To reset the handset, remove the handset from the telephone base and
place it back in. Try the registration process again.
2. You cannot register a handset if any telephone connected to the same tel-
ephone line is in use.
