Using additional handsets
66
If you've bought a BT8500 multiple pack, any additional handsets come pre-
registered to the base. However, if you purchase another additional handset
separately, you must register it to your BT8500 base before it can be used.
You can register up to five GAP compliant handsets to your BT8500 base.

6. Immediately, select OK on the handset. The handset will display Registering
handset to indicate the base is in registration mode. If you have changed the
system PIN from 0000 you will be prompted to enter it, then select OK.
7. Once registration is successful the handset will show Handset x registered (with
X being the assigned handset number). The handset will then synchronise data
with any other registered handsets, e.g. contacts, speed dials, handset names
and text messages.
You have 2 minutes to complete the registration process. After 2 minutes the
In use light on the base will stop flashing. If registration isn't successful the first
time, please try again incase the base registration period ran out of time.

Questions and answers
i do not not know my call control pin so, can i reset the phone and put my own pin in
Yes, you can reset the BT8500 phone, but the context does not mention whether resetting allows you to set your own call control PIN. However, you can follow the instructions to set or enter your call control PIN separately through the menu options.

I cannot make external calls. While the call duration shows there is no connection to the person I **** calling.
The issue might be due to incorrect wiring in the BT socket. If the BT8500 works when connected to another BT socket but shows a "Line Cord Error" in the original socket, the wiring in the non-working socket may be faulty. Specifically, terminals 2 and 5 might be reversed or incorrectly connected. Checking and correcting the wiring in the socket should resolve the issue.
