Registration and Deregistration - Adding and Registering Handsets

Before using a new EL50019 handset, you must register it with the AT&T EL52119/EL52219/EL52319 telephone system (purchased separately). The telephone system can support up to five handsets. The handset(s) provided with your telephone system are already registered as HANDSET 1, and so forth. Additional handsets are assigned numbers in the sequential order they are registered (up to HANDSET 5). Each handset must be registered to the telephone base before use.

Register a handset to your telephone base

1. Before you begin registration, make sure the handset is out of the telephone base or charger and shows "To register HS..." and "...see manual", alternately.
2. Put the handset you wish to register on the telephone base cradle. For registration, put the handset on the telephone base, not the handset charger.
3. The IN USE light on the telephone base turns on. After about 10 seconds, the handset shows "Registering....". The handset shows "Registered" and you hear a confirmation tone if the registration was successful. The IN USE light turns off. The handset is now registered with the telephone base.

If the registration fails, the handset displays "Reg. failed" and then "To register HS..." and "...see manual", alternately. Try the registration again by removing the handset from the telephone base and then placing it back in.

NOTES:

• You cannot register a handset if any other system handset is in use.
• You can only register one handset to the telephone base at a time.

Registration and Deregistration - Deregistering Handsets

If you want to replace a handset, or reassign the designated handset number of a registered handset, you must deregister all handsets that are registered to the telephone base, and then register each handset individually. Please read carefully through all the instructions on this page before beginning the deregistration process.

Deregister all handsets from your telephone base

In addition to the cordless handsets, this operation will also deregister all cordless headsets and speakerphones registered to your telephone base.

1. Press and hold FIND HS on the telephone base for about 10 seconds until the IN USE light on the telephone base turns on and starts to flash. Then, release the button.
2. Immediately press FIND HS again while the IN USE light is still flashing. The IN USE light flashes for approximately five seconds.
3. The deregistration takes about 10 seconds to complete. All handsets display "To register HS..." and "...see manual", alternately, if the deregistration was successful. To register the handset(s) to the telephone base again, follow the registration instructions on pages 10-11.

NOTES:

• If the deregistration fails, you may need to reset the system and try again. To reset, unplug the power from the telephone base and plug it back in.
• You cannot deregister the handset(s) if any other system handset is in use.
• Even if the battery is depleted, you can still deregister the handset by following the steps, as mentioned above. After the handset is charged for at least ten minutes, the screen shows "To register HS..." and "...see manual", alternately.

Appendix - Maintenance

Taking care of your telephone

• Your cordless telephone contains sophisticated electronic parts, so you must treat it with care.
• Avoid rough treatment.
• Place the handset down gently.
• Save the original packing materials to protect your telephone if you ever need to ship it.

Avoid water

• You can damage your telephone if it gets wet. Do not use the handset in the rain, or handle it with wet hands. Do not install the telephone base near a sink, bathtub or shower.
• Do not use liquids or aerosol sprays for cleaning.
• Remember that electrical appliances can cause serious injury if used when you are wet or standing in water. If the telephone base should fall into water, DO NOT RETRIEVE IT UNTIL YOU UNPLUG THE POWER CORD AND TELEPHONE LINE CORDS FROM THE WALL. Pull the unit out by the unplugged cords.

Electrical storms

Electrical storms can sometimes cause power surges harmful to electronic equipment. For your own safety, take caution when using electric appliances during storms.

Cleaning your telephone

• Your telephone has a durable plastic casing that should retain its luster for many years. Clean it only with a soft cloth slightly dampened with water or mild soap.
• Do not use excess water or cleaning solvents of any kind.

Appendix - Important safety information

This symbol [!] is to alert you to important operating or servicing instructions that may appear in this user's manual. Always follow basic safety precautions when using this product to reduce the risk of injury, fire, or electric shock.

Safety information

• Read and understand all instructions in the user's manual. Observe all markings on the product.
• Avoid using a telephone during a thunderstorm. There may be a slight chance of electric shock from lightning.
• Do not use a telephone in the vicinity of a gas leak. Under certain circumstances, a spark may be created when the adapter is plugged into the power outlet, or when the handset is replaced in its cradle. This is a common event associated with the closing of any electrical circuit. In an inadequately ventilated environment, the user should not plug the phone into a power outlet, nor put a charged handset into the cradle where there are concentrations of flammable or flame-supporting gases. A spark in such an environment could create a fire or explosion. Such environments might include: medical use of oxygen without adequate ventilation; industrial gases (cleaning solvents; gasoline vapors; etc.); a leak of natural gas; etc.
• Do not use this product near water or when you are wet. For example, do not use it in a wet basement or shower, nor next to a swimming pool, bathtub, kitchen sink, and laundry tub.
• Install this product in a protected location where no one can trip over any line or power cords. Protect cords from damage or abrasion.
• If this product does not operate normally, see the Troubleshooting section on pages 13-20 of this user's manual. If you cannot solve the problem, or if the product is damaged, refer to the Limited warranty section pages 32-34. Do not open this product except as directed in your user's manual. Opening the product or reassembling it incorrectly may expose you to hazardous voltages or other risks.
• Replace batteries only as described in your user's manual (pages 7-9). Do not burn or puncture batteries -- they contain caustic chemicals.
• This power adapter is intended to be correctly oriented in a vertical or floor mount position. The prongs are not designed to hold the plug in place if it is plugged into a ceiling or an under-the-table/cabinet outlet.

CAUTIONS:

• Use only the power adapter provided with this product. To obtain a replacement, visit our website at www.telephones.att.com or call 1 (800) 222-3111. In Canada, dial 1 (866) 288-4268.
• Use only the supplied rechargeable battery or replacement battery (model BT162342/BT262342). To order, visit our website at www.telephones.att.com or call 1 (800) 222-3111. In Canada, dial 1 (866) 288-4268.
• To prevent risk of fire or battery explosion, replace with the correct battery type. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.

Especially about cordless telephones

• Privacy: The same features that make a cordless telephone convenient create some limitations. Telephone calls are transmitted between the telephone base and the handset by radio waves, so there is a possibility that your cordless telephone conversations could be intercepted by radio receiving equipment within range of the cordless handset. For this reason, you should not think of cordless telephone conversations as being as private as those on corded telephones.
• Electrical power: The telephone base of this cordless telephone must be connected to a working electrical outlet which is not controlled by a wall switch. Calls cannot be made from the handset if the telephone base is unplugged, switched off or if the electrical power is interrupted.
• Potential TV interference: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause interference to TVs and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference, do not place the telephone base of the cordless telephone near or on top of a TV or VCR. If interference is experienced, moving the cordless telephone farther away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference.
• Rechargeable batteries: This product contains nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries. Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to create a short circuit with conductive material such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery or conductor may overheat and cause harm. Observe proper polarity between the battery and the battery charger.
• Nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries: Dispose of these batteries in a safe manner. Do not burn or puncture. Like other batteries of this type, if burned or punctured, they could release caustic material which could cause injury.

The RBRC Seal means that the manufacturer is voluntarily participating in an industry program to collect and recycle nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries when taken out of service within the United States. These batteries may be taken to a participating local retailer of replacement batteries or recycling center. Or you may call 1-800-8-BATTERY for locations accepting spent Ni-MH batteries. RBRC and 1-800-8-BATTERY are registered trademarks of the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation.

Precautions for users of implanted cardiac pacemakers

Cardiac pacemakers (applies only to digital cordless telephones): Wireless Technology Research, LLC (WTR), an independent research entity, led a multidisciplinary evaluation of the interference between portable wireless telephones and implanted cardiac pacemakers. Supported by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, WTR recommends to physicians that:

Pacemaker patients

• Should keep wireless telephones at least six inches from the pacemaker.
• Should NOT place wireless telephones directly over the pacemaker, such as in a breast pocket, when it is turned ON.
• Should use the wireless telephone at the ear opposite the pacemaker.

WTR's evaluation did not identify any risk to bystanders with pacemakers from other persons using wireless telephones.

ECO mode

This power conserving technology reduces power consumption for optimal battery performance. The ECO mode activates automatically whenever the handset is synchronized with the telephone base.

Especially about telephone answering systems

Two-way recording: This unit does not sound warning beeps to inform the other party that the call is being recorded. To ensure that you are in compliance with any federal or state regulations regarding recording a telephone call, you should start the recording process and then inform the other party that you are recording the conversation.
