3.2 Pairing with a DECT Base Station

The DP730 handset must be registered with a Grandstream DP750 or DP752 DECT VoIP base station to function. Refer to your base station's manual for specific registration instructions. General steps are as follows:

2. Initiate Handset Registration: On the DP730 handset, navigate to the "Registration" or "Pairing" menu option (usually found under Settings or Handset options).
3. Enter PIN (if prompted): If your base station requires a PIN for registration, enter it on the DP730 handset. The default PIN is often "0000" or "1234", but check your base station's documentation.
4. Confirmation: Once successfully registered, the DP730 display will indicate "Registered" or show the base station's name, and the base station's indicator light will become solid.

6.3 Poor Audio Quality
