10-2. Re-registering Handsets
When you rst put your handsets into the base, they are registered to the base so they can communicate with
the base. There may be some times when you have to re-register your handsets to the base:
When you want to change the handset-to-base 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 diculty connecting to the base to make or receive calls.
To re-register handsets:
Pick up the handset from the base. Press and hold [nd hs] on the base.
While holding [nd hs], place the handset in the base. The charge/in use LED on the base begins to
ash, indicating the base is registering the handset. Wait for at least ve seconds.
Pick up the handset from the base and press [TALK/ash]. If the display shows TALK, the handset is
registered. If not, place the handset in the base to try again.
Press [END].
One by one, place each handset in the base and wait for at least ve seconds. (You don't need to hold [nd
hs] this time.) Repeat steps 3 - 4.
10-3. Changing the Handset-to-base Code
The handset-to-base code prevents other cordless devices from accidentally connecting to your base. If the
battery pack is completely discharged or removed, the handset can "forget" the handset-to-base code, and the
handset will not be able to communicate with the base.
If any one of handsets can't communicate with the base, place that handset in the base cradle to reset the code.
Wait at least ve seconds, then pick up the handset and press [TALK/ash]. If the display shows TALK, the code
is reset.
If the code does not reset or if you suspect another cordless telephone might be using the same code (a rare
situation), you can change the handset-to-base code completely. Re-register all handsets to the base following
the instructions in section 10-2 on Re-registering Handsets above. Any handsets that are not properly re-
registered may not be able to communicate with the base.
10-4. 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.
10-5. Liquid Damage
Moisture and liquid can damage your cordless phone.
If the handset or base is exposed to moisture or liquid, but only the exterior plastic housing is aected, wipe
o the liquid, and use as normal.
If moisture or liquid has entered the plastic housing (i.e. liquid can be heard in the phone or liquid has
entered the handset battery compartment or vent openings on the base), follow the steps below:
Handset Base
Remove the battery cover and leave it o for ventilation.
Disconnect the battery pack. Leave the battery cover o and the
battery pack disconnected for at least three days.
Once the handset is completely dry, reconnect the battery pack and
the battery cover.

You must unplug the telephone line while recharging the battery pack to avoid charge interruption.
CAUTION!
DO NOT use a microwave oven to speed up the drying process. This will cause permanent damage to the
handset, base and the microwave oven. After following these steps, if your cordless telephone does not work,
please call our Customer Service Hotline. See back cover page for contact information.

10-8. Battery Information
Average battery life
With average use, your handset battery provides approximately six hours of talk time and approximately seven
days of standby time. You can achieve optimum battery life and performance by returning the handset to the
cradle after each use. When your handset is left o of the cradle, the battery will gradually discharge even if the
handset is not being used. The actual talk time duration will be reduced in proportion to the amount of time the
handset is o the cradle.
Low battery alert
When the battery pack is very low and needs to be charged, the phone is
programmed to eliminate functions in order to save power. If the phone is
not in use, LOW BATTERY CHARGE HANDSET appears on the LCD, and none
of the keys will operate. During a call, the handset beeps, and the LCD
ashes LOW BATTERY. Complete your conversation as quickly as possible
and return the handset to the cradle for charging.
Note: Information stored in the phone's memory will be retained for thirty minutes after the battery pack is
removed. This includes all setup information, last number dialed, speed dial memory, and the CID list.
