Adding and registering handsets
Your telephone system can support up to five handsets. The handsets 
provided within your product package are already registered as 
HANDSET 1, and so forth. You can purchase additional handset AT&T 
EL50003 to expand your telephone system. EL50003 is for use with 
EL51103/EL51203/EL51253/EL51303/EL51353/EL51403/EL51453/
EL51503. Additional handsets are assigned numbers in the sequential order 
they are registered (up to HANDSET 5). Each handset must be registered to 
the telephone base before use.
