Getting started Add and register a handset Each newly purchased handset (DS6201) must be registered to the telephone base (DS6211, DS6221 or DS6222) before use. When first purchased, each expansion handset shows NOT REGISTERED. You may need to charge the handset before registering to the telephone base. For more details on battery charging, see the table on page 2. To make registration easier, read all of the instructions on this page before you begin. To register a handset: 1. Place the unregistered handset in the telephone base. If PRESS FIND HS 4 SEC ON BASE does not appear on the handset screen after a few seconds, remove the handset and place it in the telephone base again. 2. On the telephone base, press and hold FIND HANDSET for about four seconds (until the red IN USE light on the telephone base turns on) and then release the button. The handset shows PLEASE WAIT... and it takes up to 60 seconds to complete the registration. The handset shows HANDSET X REGISTERED (X represents the handset number assigned) and you hear a beep when the registration completes. When the registration is complete, the newly registered handset is assigned the next available handset registration number. For instance, if you already have HANDSET 1 and HANDSET 2, the next registered handset will be HANDSET 3. • When the registration fails, the handset shows NOT REGISTERED. To reset the handset, remove the handset from the telephone base and place it back in. Try the registration process again. • You cannot register a handset if any other system handset is in use. • Only one handset can be registered at a time.
