Canceling the Handset Registration
If you no longer need to use the handset or if you want to use the handset with a 
different base unit of the same model, it is necessary to cancel the handset’s 
registration from the current base unit.
Only one handset can be canceled at a time.
Make sure the handset and the base unit near each other and are not being 
used.

•After canceling registration, the handset cannot be used. If you want to use it 
again, register the handset to the base unit by performing steps 5 and 6 on 
page 91. 
Re-registering the Handset
If you want to re-register the handset to the base unit or a different base unit of the 
same model, you need to register it to that base unit. The handset will be given a

time near the base unit. 
Make sure the base unit and the other handsets are not being used. Have 
both the handset and base unit nearby during registration.
