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 five handsets.
You can add new handsets (DS6501/DS6501-12/DS6501-15/DS6501-16,
purchased separately) to your telephone system. Each handset must be registered
with the telephone base before use. When first purchased and properly charged,
each expansion handset shows To register HS... and ...see manual alternately.
Charge the handset before registering it to the telephone base.
To register a handset:
Place the new/non-registered handset in the telephone base.
Wait for about 10 seconds. The handset shows Registering... then Registered
and you hear a beep when the registration process completes. The registration
process takes about 90 seconds to complete.

each handset.
To deregister all handsets:
Press and hold /FIND HANDSET on the telephone base for about 10 seconds
until the IN USE light on the telephone base turns on and starts flashing.
