Registration for Additional HandsetsBase Unit & Handset
KX-TG2770S includes a base unit and one cordless handset. You can expand the 
system by adding up to 7 additional cordless handsets, sold separately. A maximum 
of 8 cordless handsets can be registered to the base unit. 
Generally a maximum of 4 extensions excluding or including the base unit can 
operate at a time. If 4 other extensions are in use, such as conducting a call, you 
may not be able to use your unit. “System is busy. Please try again 
later.” will be displayed when you try to operate your unit. The maximum 
operating number may decrease, depending on the state of usage, such as using
