Operating additional units

Additional handsets
Up to 6 handsets can be registered to a
single base unit. Additional handsets will
give you the freedom to, for example, have
an intercom call with another handset while
a third handset is on an outside call. See
page 6 for information on ordering additional
handsets.
Important:
L The additional handset model
recommended for use with this unit is
noted on page 6. If other model handset is
used, certain operations (handset
settings, base unit settings, etc.) may not
be available.
Additional base units
Handsets can be registered to up to 4 base
units, allowing you to add additional base
units and extend the area in which your
handset(s) can be used. If a handset moves
out of range of its base unit when "Auto" is
selected on base unit selection (page 58), it
will look for another base unit to make or
receive calls. A base unit and the handsets it
communicates with is called a "radio cell".
Note:
L Calls will be disconnected when the
handset moves from one radio cell to
another.

Multi-unit Operation

Registering a handset to a
base unit
The included handset and base unit are
preregistered. If for some reason the
handset is not registered to the base unit (for
example, w flashes even when the handset
is near the base unit), register the handset
manually (page 58).
To register an additional handset to a
base unit (easy registration)

register it to the base unit. Ensure that the
additional handset is switched on. If it is not
on, press and hold {ih} for few seconds

{ih} to put the handset in standby
mode.

about 3 seconds, until the registration
tone sounds.
3
Place the additional handset on the
base unit. The registration tone
continues to sound. With the handset
still on the base unit, wait until a
confirmation tone sounds and w stops
flashing.
Note:
L If an error tone sounds, or if w is still
flashing, register the handset manually
(manual registration; page 58).
L If all registered handsets start ringing in
step 2, press {x} to stop. Start again from
step 1.

handset for about 7 hours before initial
use.
