Installing the Phone
Changing the dial mode
Your phone can communicate with the telephone network in two different ways: tone dialing or pulse dialing. These
days, most base networks use a method called tone dialing, so your phone comes programmed for tone dialing. If
your phone company uses pulse dialing, you will need to change your phone’s dial mode. If you don’t get a dial tone
or can’t connect to the telephone network, please follow the steps below to modify your phone’s settings:
Press [Select/menu].
Select the GLOBAL SETUP menu, and then the DIAL MODE
submenu.
Scroll [] to highlight PULSE.
Press [Select/menu]. You will hear a confi rmation tone.
If you ever need to change the dial mode back to tone dialing, follow the same procedure, but select TONE in step 2.
NOW YOU ARE READY TO USE YOUR PHONE!

Installing the Phone
Expanding Your Phone
Adding accessory handsets
Your phone supports a total of six cordless handsets, including any that were supplied with your phone. You can now
place a fully-featured cordless handset anywhere AC power is available to connect the charging cradle.
Your phone is compatible with the DCX300 accessory handset.
For instructions on connecting the charging cradle, see page 7.
If you purchase any accessory handsets separately, you must register the handsets to the base before you can
use them. (Accessory handsets that come packaged with a base are already registered to that base.)
Registering accessory handsets
When charged, registered handsets display a handset ID number. Handsets that have not been registered display:

/CPWCNHQTJGNR
To register a DCX300 accessory handset:
Charge the handset for 15-20 hours.
Place the handset in the base cradle for about thirty seconds. HANDSET REGISTERING will appear in the LCD.
When the handset has registered to the base, the LCD will display REGISTRATION COMPLETE then show the
handset ID number.

Installing the Phone
If REGISTRATION FAILED appears in the LCD, please try these steps again.
Note: If a handset has ever been registered to a base, you must reset the handset before you can register it to a
new base. See Resetting the Handset on page 50.
Using Multiple Bases
The handsets supplied with your phone (or any DCX200 accessory handsets) can be registered to a total of four
different bases. Compatible bases include the DECT2060, DECT2080, DECT2085, and DECT2088 models. Once
your handset is registered to more than one base, you can set the handset to search automatically the available
base, or you can select manually which base the handset should connect to (for example, if you have one base with
an answering machine, you can tell the handset to connect that base to check messages).
Registering the Handset to Another Base
Make sure the handset battery is fully charged.
To register a handset to DECT2060 or DECT2080 base:
Disconnect the base AC adapter. Then press and hold [fi nd hs] while you reconnect the adapter.
Keep pressing [fi nd hs] until the charge LED starts to blink.
To register a handset to DECT2085 or DECT2088 base:
With the phone in standby, press [Select/menu] on the base. Move the cursor to select the REGISTER
HANDSET menu, and then press [Select/menu]. HANDSET REGISTERING will appear.
On the handset, Press [Select/menu]. Select the REGISTER BASE menu. HANDSET REGISTERING will
appear in the display.
Wait approximately thirty seconds. “REGISTRATION COMPLETE” will be displayed to indicate the handset has
been registered to the base and a handset ID will be automatically assigned.
If REGISTRATION FAILED appears in the LCD, please try these steps again.

Installing the Phone
Selecting the Base
When your handset is registered to another base, it will automatically connect to the base. A base ID (that is for the
handset only) will be assigned in the order of registration. You can either select a base you want to use manually, or
set to AUTO. If you set to AUTO, when the handset comes out of range, it searches automatically the available base
in order of base ID.
With the phone in standby, press [Select/menu]. Select the HANDSET SETUP menu, and then the SELECT
BASE submenu.
Move the cursor to select the base you want to connect to, or choose AUTO to have the handset automatically
select the base.
Press [Select/menu]. SEARCHING will appear in the display.
When the base is found, the handset will return to standby. If the base is not found, “SEARCHING” continues
to appear. You can repeat the procedure listed above to return back to the original connection or to fi nd the
different base.
Notes: • You cannot change bases during a call.
• To confi rm which bases the handset is registered to, open the SELECT BASE submenu and use [] and
[] to scroll through the list. Press [ ] to close the list and return to standby.

phone line. This base supports a total of ten cordless handsets; see page 12 for compatible handsets.
Base The main part of the phone that connects to your phone line and lets you make and receive calls.
Charging
cradle

Setting Up the Phonebook
Each handset has its own separate phonebook that holds up to seventy names and numbers. When a handset’s
phonebook is full, the handset beeps and shows MEMORY FULL on the display. You cannot add any names and
numbers in that handset’s phonebook until you delete some of the existing ones.
You can also use the phonebook entries to store a group of numbers (up to twenty digits) that you may need to enter
once your call connects. This is referred to as chain dialing. (See Chain dialing from the phonebook on page 32.)

With the phone in standby, press [ ] (on the left side of the four-way key).

Text from Your Handset on page 21 for instructions on entering text.) If you do not want to enter a name for this
entry, your phone will store this entry as <NO NAME>. Press [Select/menu] when you are fi nished.
Enter the number for this entry (EDIT NUMBER).
Once you have stored a name, EDIT NUMBER appears next. Use the
number keypad to enter the phone number; the phone number can contain
up to twenty digits. If you need the phone to pause between digits when
it’s dialing (for example, to enter an extension or an access code), press
[/pause] to insert a two-second pause. You will see a P in the display.
You can also use more than one pause together if two seconds is not long
enough. Each pause counts as one digit. Press [Select/menu] when you are fi nished.
