Before use

Add and register a handset
You can add new SN5107 handsets (purchased separately) to your SN5127/ SN5147 telephone system. Your telephone system supports a maximum of four handsets.
Each handset must be registered with the telephone base before use. When first purchased, each expansion handset displays To register HS, see manual.

Note

To register a handset to SN5127 telephone base:

To register a handset to SN5147 telephone base:

Deregister handsets
If you want to replace a handset or reassign the designated handset number of a registered handset, you must deregister all the handsets and then individually register each handset.
If you want to register a handset to another telephone base, you must deregister all devices, and then register each handset individually to the desired telephone base.

To deregister all handsets from the SN5127/SN5147 telephone base:

1. Press and hold PAGE or PAGE/INTERCOM on the telephone base for about five seconds until the visual ringer indicator light on the telephone base turns on. Keep holding PAGE or PAGE/INTERCOM until the visual ringer indicator light begins to flash. Release PAGE or PAGE/INTERCOM.

You hear a confirmation tone when the deregistration process completes. It takes about 10 seconds to complete the deregistration.
If deregistration fails, you need to reset the system and try again. To reset, unplug the power and the telephone line cord from the telephone base. Then, plug the cords back in again.

Operating range
This cordless telephone operates with the maximum power allowed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Even so, this handset and telephone base can communicate over only a certain distance - which can vary with the locations of the telephone base and handset, the weather, and the layout of your home or office.
When the handset is out of range, the handset displays Out of range or No pwr at base.
If there is a call while the handset is out of range, it may not ring, or if it does ring,
the call may not connect well when you press . Move closer to the telephone base, then press to answer the call. If the handset moves out of range during a telephone conversation, there may be interference. To improve reception, move closer to the telephone base.

ECO mode

This power conserving technology reduces power consumption for optimal battery performance.
The ECO mode activates automatically whenever the handset is synchronized with the telephone base.

General product care

Taking care of your telephone
Your cordless telephone contains sophisticated electronic parts, so it must be treated with care.

Avoid rough treatment
Place the handset down gently. Save the original packing materials to protect your telephone if you ever need to ship it.

Avoid water
Your telephone can be damaged if it gets wet. Do not use the handset outdoors in the rain, or handle it with wet hands. Do not install the telephone base near a sink, bathtub or shower.

Electrical storms
Electrical storms can sometimes cause power surges harmful to electronic equipment. For your own safety, take caution when using electrical appliances during storms.

Cleaning your telephone
Your telephone has a durable plastic casing that should retain its luster for many years. Clean it only with a dry non-abrasive cloth. Do not use dampened cloth or cleaning solvents of any kind.
