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 DCX200 and DCX300 accessory handset.
For instructions on connecting the charging cradle, see page 7.
If you purchase any accessory handsets separately, you must register the handsets to the base before you can
use them. (Accessory handsets that come packaged with a base are already registered to that base.)

To register a DCX200 or DCX300 accessory handset:

Move the cursor to select the REGISTER HANDSET menu, and then press
[Menu/Select]. HANDSET
REGISTERING will appear.
On the handset, press and hold

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 56). Or to use multiple bases, see the next section.
