Because the machine and the DECT base use the same 
telephone line, please consider the following points:
• the telephony feature only supports voice calls. SMS 

service is not available on registered handsets, as well 
as Caller Identification Display (CID) and notification, 
even if DECT devices used support this function.

• when a handset is used, the line is busy. As a result, 

the machine cannot perform fax or SMS 
communication operations. Sending and receiving 
resumes when the line is freed.

• print and scan operations may take slightly more time 

when performed during a DECT communication.

• the machine and registered handset(s) cannot share 

directories.

Connect your DECT base to one of the USB ports of the 
machine:

• to the front USB port

• to the rear USB port

You can now make and receive calls with the handset 
supplied with the DECT base. As the telephone line is 
now used for both communication (fax, SMS) and 
telephony features, you may need to adjust the machine 
reception settings (see Reception Mode, page 34).

By default, the USB-DECT base comes with one 
registered handset. To register additional handsets (GAP 
compatible) to the base, you will need to put both the base 
and the handset in registration mode.

To register a handset to the DECT base:

 

1 Put the handset in registration mode.

2 On the machine, press  , enter 89 using the 

keypad and confirm with OK.

3 Select REGISTER using the   or   button and 

confirm with OK.

 

The machine starts searching for the handset.

During the registration process (up to one minute), the 
LCD screen displays 

. The 

message disappears once registration is complete.
