Once your Freestyle 6 additional handset has
been registered to your base unit it cannot be re-
registered to another base unit.
To set the handset number
Each additional handset must be assigned an
identity number (2, 3 or 4). Your Freestyle 60
or 65 handset is already registered as HANDSET
1. A Freestyle 6 additional handset is pre-set as
HANDSET 2. However, further additional
handsets can be numbered as they are added.
• Press the DIRE TORY button.
• Press the SE RE Y button.
• Enter the handset number between (2 and 4).
• Press the DIRE TORY button. You will hear
a beep confirming that the new number has
been stored.
Check that your Freestyle 6 handset is registered
correctly by pressing the TALK button and
listening for a dial tone. If you do not hear a
dial tone your Freestyle 6 handset is either out
of range of the base unit or it has not been
registered properly, or the base unit line cord is
not plugged in.
Make a note of the handset number by writing
it on the quickdial label on the additional
handset’s charger.
