Registering Companion telephones
To use Companion portable telephones, you must first install radio base stations to transmit and
receive radio signals to and from the portable telephones. See “Installing Companion base
stations” on page 183.
You use a different method to install portable telephones than desktop telephones. There are no
direct connections between the portable telephones and the system. Do the following:
• Install the batteries and battery charging units for each portable, using the instructions that
come with the portable.
• Enter the software keys for Companion in the Business Communications Manager Unified
Manager under Software keys
• Register every Companion portable for use with the system.
Restarting the system
If you added a base station that requires a software update, the system begins downloading the
software to the base station. The display shows BS-1 Dload Start.
1 Press
CLEAR to clear the message. When the base station software finishes downloading, the
BS-1 Dload Done appears.
2 Press
CLEAR to clear the message. Some base stations do not power up at the same time, and
this message repeats at the beginning of each download.
In the United States, the display shows one of the messages listed in Table 43 after restarting:
Note: You must register a portable telephone before you can use it. By default,
Companion portable telephones are not assigned extension numbers. The range of portable
