Registering FRITZ!Fon

You want to register a cordless phone with the FRITZ!Box? ✔ Here we show you how to easily connect your DECT phone.

Our FRITZ!Fon models are optimized for use with the FRITZ!Box. Simply use the wizard in the FRITZ!Box user interface or your phone's menu to register them. You can register a FRITZ!Fon with up to four base stations and switch the active base station if needed via 'Menu > Settings > Registration > Select Base'. Of course, you can also use the menu to register FRITZ!Fon with a base station from another manufacturer.

Requirements / Restrictions

  • The base station must support the DECT-GAP profile. 

    Note:DECT-GAP is a common standard for cordless phones supported by all FRITZ!Box models with integrated DECT base stations.
