Note:
L Charge the batteries of your additional
handset for about 7 hours before initial
use.
L Calls will be disconnected when the
handset moves from one radio cell to
another.
L This registration method cannot be used
for handsets that have already been
registered to a base unit. Register the
handset manually (manual registration;
