We need to make a 3-way call and there is not link button on our handsets. What do we press instead? Please help. Thank you

The previous reply is for Opticon with an 'N' not 'Opticom' with an M and a different company, so not very helpful. I haven't found an online copy of the manual so far.

If this information was helpful, please give me a big thumbs-up when you rate my answer. Thank you.

It sounds like the base unit has other handsets registered to it. This is why you are getting the message "All Handsets Registered". You will need to reset the base unit in order to register your two handsets.

Hopefully this will help you. Put the phone in an easily accessible spot where you can plug it in and unplug it easily. Unplug the phone, wait a few seconds, and plug it in again. Now, unplug it again, and before you plug it in once more, hold down the Locator button as you plug it in and all lights should flash on. It should emit a long beep, which means it has reset. If not, you will need to unplug it once more and hold down the Locator button again as you plug it in.

Once it beeps, it should allow you to add your handsets. If there is nothing on the handset display, press the off button, menu, then 001. It should then read "Press LOCATOR on base for 3 sec, Then press ok". At this point, you will need to hold down the Locator button until it flashes before hitting okay. The handset will be registered when it reads "Handset 1 Registered".

If this doesn't work, I would call Panasonic.

Good Luck!

I know this should be a MUCH more techie answer, but have you tried just asking a nearby Mexican to help you? Just a thought.....

You say you cannot get to the menu from the mute/ok button?

What happens instead?

hello there i think this is because you need to register the second handset with the base here are the instructions

please leave rating if you find this usefull hope this helps thanx for using fixya!!

Fixed:) Ok so I bought 2 extension handsets from different people off of Ebay, both new. First one wouldnt register or would say incorrect pin (0000). So I tried the second one, same thing. Here is what I did: When attempting registering, make sure the handset is physically on top of the main base station, IE charging. Start the registration process on the handset and press-hold (dont let go) the locate handset button instead of press and hold for 3 seconds (like the manual says to). If that didnt work, I removed the batteries and tried pressing and holding the same button for 3 seconds, then release. Wait 10 seconds, then press and hold for 3 seconds. Repeat. If the handset timed out and went back to the main unregistered instruction screen. I took the batteries out and tried again. It was a bit of trial and error but each cycle I removed the batteries to reset the handset. First extension handset took 20 minutes of head scratching, the second 2 minutes. Hope this helps someone. The build and sound quality on these units are great, the tech support....not so much.

Hey! To play messages press the clear/mute button then the number 2 button and then press the green phone symbol then your messages should play. To turn off do exactley the same but instead of pressing number 2 press number 8! Hope that helps!

I would assume this could have been a product that was returned to the company that you purchased it from. Follow these instructions. 1. 1. Disconnect power from the base by pulling the plug out of the back of the unit. 2. Press and hold the Page button and while holding the Page button reconnect the power. 3. Continue to hold the Page button until the charge/in use light flashes rapidly. 4. Release the Page button. 5. Press and release the page button on the base once. All handsets are de-registered and HANDSET NEEDS REGISTRATION shows in the display. Then From the Handset Setup Menu: 1. Press the caller ID-volume ( 6 or 5) button to scroll to the REGISTRATION sub-menu. 2. Press the mute/program button to enter the menu. REGISTRATION 1YES 42NO - - -shows in the display. The default setting is 2NO. 3. Use the touch-tone pad to select 1 for YES or 2 for NO. Or use the caller ID-volume ( 6 or 5) button to scroll to 1YES or 2NO. 4. If you select YES, press the mute/program button. HOLD BASE PAGE FOR 5 SECONDS, THEN PRESS HANDSET PROGRAM shows in the display. (Your handset should be held near the base during registration process.) 5. Press and hold the page button on the base unit until the charge/in use indicator flashes. Press the handset mute/program button. REGISTERING shows in the display. HANDSET X REGISTERED shows in the handset display, where X is the handset number. You may now rename your handset. (Refer to Step 3 & 4 of Handset Name Section) NOTE: IF you are re-registering the handset through the handset menu; to rename your handset you must go to the Handset Name Section and start from the beginning step. I understand that you have tried the registation process. Sometimes with electronics, you have to start from ground 0, before it will work correct again. If there are further questions or comments, please post here. Please rate this solutn through fix-it. Thank you
