10) Troubleshooting Re-registering Handsets There are a few cases when it may be necessary to re-register your handsets to the base: • When you want to change the digital security code. (Refer to "Changing the Digital Security Code".) • When there is a power failure that lasts more than one hour. • If a 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 place or receive calls. To re-register handsets: ) Pick up the handset from the base. Press and hold [find] on the base. 2) While holding [find], place the handset in the base. The 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]. ) Place the next handset in the base and wait for at least five seconds. No need to hold [find] this time. ) Repeat steps 3 - 5 with any other handsets you have. Changing the Digital Security Code The digital security code is an identification code used to connect the handset and the base. If the handset battery pack is completely discharged or the battery pack is removed, the digital security code will be lost. If this happens, a new security code is set automatically the next time the battery pack is charged in the base. In the rare situation that you suspect another cordless telephone is using the same security code, you can change the code. To change the digital security code, re-register both handsets to the base following the instructions in "Re-registering Handsets" above. Note: Any handsets that are not properly re-register may not be able to communicate with the base. Traveling Out-of-Range During a call, as you begin to move your handset too far from your base noise increases. If you pass the range limits of the base, your call will terminate within one minute.
