10-2. Re-registering the Handset When you first put your handset into the base, it is registered so it can communicate with the base. There may be some times when you have to re-register your handset to the base: • When you want to change the handset-to-base code. • When there is a power failure that lasts more than one hour. • If the handset's battery is completely discharged. (The handset must be recharged for 15 - 20 hours before re-registering to the base.) • Any time you experience difficulty connecting to the base to make or receive calls. To re-register the handset: 1) Pick up the handset from the base. Press and hold [find hs] on the base. 2) While holding [find hs], place the handset in the base. The charge/in use LED on the base begins to flash, indicating the base is registering the handset. Wait for at least five seconds. 3) Pick up the handset from the base and press [TALK/flash]. If the display shows TALK, the handset is registered. If not, place the handset in the base to try again. 4) Press [END]. 10-3. Changing the Handset-to-base Code The handset-to-base code prevents other cordless devices from accidentally connecting to your base. If the battery pack is completely discharged or removed, the handset-to-base code will be lost. If this happens, a new code is set automatically the next time the handset is charged in the base. In the rare situation that you suspect another cordless telephone is using the same code, you can change the code. To change the handset-to-base code, re-register the handset to the base following the instructions in section 10-2 on Re-registering the Handset above. 10-4.
