2. To register all the handsets do the following steps:
1) Place a handset, one at a time in the base.
2) Registration starts automatically.
While registering “Handset Registering” appears in the display.
3) When the registration is complete, “Registration Complete” appears in
the display.
4) Repeat steps 1 - 3 for another handsets.
