Installing the Phone Expanding Your Phone Adding accessory handsets Your phone supports a total of six cordless handsets, including any that were supplied with your phone. You can now place a fully-featured cordless handset anywhere AC power is available to connect the charging cradle. • Your phone is compatible with the following Uniden DECT 6.0 accessory handsets: DCX150, DCX200, and DCX300. (Please visit our website at www.uniden.com for the most up-to-date list of compatible handsets.) • If you purchase any accessory handsets separately, you must register the handsets to the base before you can use them.

Handsets that have not been registered display: ↔ To register an accessory handset: 1) Charge the handset completely. (For the DCX150 accessory handset, see page 8 for instructions on connecting the charging cradle and charging the handset. For a DCX200 or DCX300 accessory handset, see the manual supplied with the handset for instructions on connecting the charging cradle and charging the handset.) 2) With the phone in standby, press MENU/SELECT on the base. 3) Move the cursor to select the Register Handset menu, and then press MENU/SELECT. Handset Registering will appear. 4) On the handset, press and hold # until the handset beeps and displays Handset Registering. 5) When the handset has registered to the base, the LCD will display Registration Complete then show the handset ID number. If the display shows Registration failed, repeat the process again. Note: If a handset has ever been registered to a base, reset the handset before you register it to a new base (see Resetting the Handset on page 59). Or to use multiple bases, see the next section. 13
