Handset Setup
Set Up Your Handset Automatically
In many cases, when you first power-on the handset, it automatically starts to configure itself to communicate
with the base station. You may get further instructions if there are choices or additional information.
When your handset successfully registers, you see the Registered message, and then the idle screen is
displayed.

Step 2
If the handset displays a list of base stations, press down on the navigation ring to highlight the base station
that you need to connect to and press Select.
Step 3

Step 4
If the screen doesn't display the Registered message, make note of the error message and contact your
administrator or service provider for assistance.
Set Up a Handset Automatically with the Username and Password
When you power on a new handset, it automatically registers itself with the base station which is in promiscuous
mode. If the server requests authorization, you enter the username and password. When you need to register
multiple handsets, we recommend that you power on one handset to enter the credentials. The other handsets
don't receive the authorization request when they register.
The username and password can be a combination of letters, numbers, and symbols. The username can be
between 1 and 24 characters and password can be between 1 and 128 characters.
If you enter a wrong username or password, an error message displays. You have three attempts to enter the
correct username and password. If you fail all the attempts, the handset deregisters from the base station.
Restart the handset and enter the correct username and password, or contact your administrator.
Before you begin
Your administrator or service provider gives you the username and password.
