Handset Registration - Southwestern Bell Freedom Phone GH4000 Owner's Manual

HANDSET REGISTRATION

When the handset is placed in the
base station, the handset transmits
a registration packet to the base
station via the registration outlet.

interface. Handset locks to this
base station and registration is
complete.
When a new handset transmits a
registration packet to a base station,
the base station checks how many
h a n d s e t s h a v e b e e n a l r e a d y
registered. In case 4 handsets are
already registered, the
base station starts to search the
handsets. If it can locate all, then
the 5th handset can't be registered,
and the 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.
The second handset cannot be

registration procedure.
In case of heavy air interference,
e.g. when many 2.4GHz products
a r e a c t i v e i n t h e s a m e a r e a ,
registration duration may be longer
since registration consists of data
transfer, that in contrast to audio,
has to be error free.
The way to de-register a handset
and register it to another base
station is to switch off the base
station and plug the handset in
a n o t h e r b a s e s t a t i o n . A f t e r
switching off the base station
registration outlet, the handset is
no more locked to this base station
and can be registered to another
base. When the handset is plug in
the other base station registration
outlet, a new registration will take
place and the old registration
doesn't exist any more. Notice; de-
registration is not a normal user
operation.
