Add additional handsets
Your telephone can accommodate up to eight cordless handsets. You can
add new handsets (VTech i5808, purchased separately) anytime. Up to three
handsets can be on a call at the same time.
The handset provided with your telephone system is automatically registered as
Handset 1 (i5871), or Handset 1 and Handset 2 (for i5873). Additional handsets
will be assigned in numerical order (2, 3, 4, etc.) when they are registered.
Before using a separately purchased handset, it must be registered with the
base unit.
Registration of handsets
• Make sure the additional handset is fully charged before registration.
• On the base unit, press the softkey
MENU in idle mode.
• Press the softkey
three times to reach REGISTER HANDSET, and press
the softkey SELECT to select.
• The base unit screen displays
READY TO REGISTER NEW HANDSET,
press the softkey REGISTER on the handset.
• The handset screen displays
Registration in Progress. Within 15-60
seconds, the screen displays Found Base, and the base unit and handset
will beep.
The maximum number of handsets for use at any time is three, and the possible
combinations include:
• Three handsets and the base unit on an external call.
• Two handsets and the base unit on an external call, and one handset
accessing the answering system.
• One handset and the base unit are on an external call, and two handsets
are on intercom.
