Protecting against unauthorised access

Protect the system settings of the base with a system PIN known only to yourself. You will need
to enter the system PIN when, for example, registering/de-registering a handset to/from the
base.
Changing the system PIN
You can change the base's 4-digit default system PIN ("0000") to a 4-digit PIN known only to
yourself.

Resetting the system PIN
If you have forgotten your system PIN, you can reset the base to the original code 0000:
Disconnect the power cable from the base. Hold down the registration/paging key on the base
while reconnecting the power cable to the base. Hold down the key for at least 5 seconds.
The base has now been reset and the system PIN set to 0000.
