Each base unit provides a radio cell where you can make and receive calls.

3. Register all of the optional handsets (2–5) in base unit 1 starting in order with  
handset number 2. (See page 96.)

Registering at More than One Base Unit  
You can register and operate your handset (KX-A332CE-B) at up to  
4 KX-TCD970E-B/KX-TCD960E-B base units. If the handset is used with  
another base unit, it must be registered in that base unit before use.  
• Be sure that the power is ON (p. 17) and you are in the stand-by mode.  
• Register the handset number within 1 minute. If it is not registered within  
1 minute, press

Notes on using the handset(s) at more than one base unit  
• The base unit number which the handset is currently in contact with can be  
displayed in the stand-by mode (p. 80).  
Calls (both incoming and outgoing) can be conducted only via the displayed  
base unit (even if the radio areas overlap with neighbouring base units).  
• Intercom calls can be conducted within the radio area of the current base unit,  
but not with units in neighbouring radio areas.  
• If the handset moves to another radio area, it loses contact with the previous  
base unit and a radio link with the new base unit is set up automatically.  
("Automatic base unit access"–see p. 99).  
Calls in progress are cancelled when the unit moves to another radio area.  
• You can deactivate "Automatic base unit access" at a base unit. By selecting  
"Specified base unit access" (p. 99), you can choose the base unit where you  
want the handset to operate. This is important in the overlap area between two  
radio areas. Here you can choose the base unit/telephone line from which you  
can make/receive outgoing calls.  
Accessing the Base Unit  
Automatic base unit access  
The handset automatically selects a registered base unit.  
• When the handset moves to another base unit radio area, it loses contact with  
the previous base unit and automatically accesses the new base unit radio  
area.  
• If the handset is in the overlap area between several base unit radio areas,  
the handset will access the base unit in the order of the base unit numbers.  
Specified base unit access  
You can only select one of the registered base units (1 to 4).

Caution:  
To reduce the risk of fire or injury to persons, read and follow these instructions.  
1. Use only the battery specified.  
2. Do not dispose of the battery in a fire. It may explode. Check with local waste  
management codes for special disposal instructions.  
3. Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released electrolyte is corrosive and may  
cause burns or injury to the eyes or skin. The electrolyte may be toxic if  
swallowed.  
4. Exercise care in handling the battery in order not to short the battery to  
conductive materials such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery and/or  
conductor may overheat and cause burns.  
5. Charge the battery provided with or identified for use with this product only in  
accordance with the instructions and limitations specified in this manual.

Important Notice Concerning the Correct  
Use and Charging of a Ni-MH Battery  
Batteries, due to their construction, undergo some wear and tear. The life of a  
battery also depends on correct maintenance. Charging and discharging are the  
most important factors. You should take notice of the following to maintain  
battery life for as long as possible.  
A Ni-MH battery has the "memory effect". When the handset is used several  
times for less than 15 minutes and then immediately recharged, the capacity of  
the battery will be reduced to only 15 minutes. Therefore, you should discharge  
the battery completely, i.e. use it in the handset until "  
" on the display starts  
flashing. Then recharge it as described in the manual. After the memory effect  
has occurred, it is possible to achieve almost full capacity from the Ni-MH  
battery by charging and discharging several times one after another.  
A Ni-MH battery can also self-discharge depending on the ambient temperature.  
At temperatures under 0°C, it will be at its lowest. At high humidity and high  
temperatures, it will be at its highest. Also long-term storage will lead to self-  
discharge. An exhausted Ni-MH battery should not be disposed of normally. It  
contains toxic heavy metal Hydride and therefore should be recycled.

Dear purchaser,  
You have acquired a KX-TCD970E-B/KX-TCD960E-B, which is a product  
made in regard with the European Standards for Cordless Telephones  
(DECT). DECT technology is characterised by high-security protection  
against interception as well as high-quality digital transmission.  
This telephone was designed for a wide range of applications.  
For example, this telephone can be used within a network of base units and  
handsets, constituting a telephone system which:  
• operates up to 6 handsets from one base unit  
• allows intercom between 2 handsets  
• allows a handset to operate from 4 base units, expanding the  
communication radio area.  
This telephone may be used for:  
• operating for up to 6 handsets  
• operating from for up to 4 base units  
• connecting the base unit to a PBX.  
Term Definitions  
DECT  
The abbreviation DECT means "Digital Enhanced Cordless  
Telecommunications".  
Advantages of DECT  
Excellent voice quality: Through sampling of digital signals DECT-units  
obtain nearly noiseless transmission.  
High grade tapping security: Based on digital transmission DECT-  
conversations are well protected against unauthorised monitoring.  
Multi-Handset operation: There is no cable installation necessary when  
several handsets are operating at the base units.  
Interlink: Intercom conversations can be held free of charge between the  
registered handsets.  
Functions like a PBX: (Like a PBX-system, functions can be performed  
during an external call) E.g. handle one internal call or transferring an outside  
call to another handset.  
Multi-Base station operation: More than one handset can be registered to  
several base units, e.g. for private and office applications.  
Equipment Manufacturer’s Code (EMC)  
For definite identification, this unit is prepared with an EM Code which can be  
applied to future operators in mobile networks.
