Add and register a handset
The handsets provided with your telephone system are already registered. Each
handset is assigned a number that displays on the handset. Additional handsets
registered to the telephone system are assigned numbers in the sequential order.
This telephone system accommodates up to 2 handsets.
You can add new handsets (DS6501, purchased separately) to your telephone
system. Each handset must be registered with the telephone base before use.
When rst purchased and properly charged, each expansion handset shows
