Adding new handsets

Your telephone can accommodate up to four cordless handsets. You can add
new handsets (E597-1, purchased separately) to the E5917, E5938B and E5939B
at any time, but each handset must be registered with the base before use.
The handset provided with your E5917 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 four hand-
sets.
The E5938B has two handsets automatically registered as handset 1 and 2. You
can register two additional handsets, which will be assigned as number 3 and 4.
The E5939B has three handsets automatically registered as handset 1, 2 and 3.
You can register one additional handset, which will be assigned as number 4.
