Safety precautions

Read the user guide and the safety precautions
carefully before use. Explain their contents to your

W

children, and the potential hazards associated
with using the telephone.

Only use the mains unit supplied.

$

Fit only the approved rechargeable battery
pack! Never use a conventional (non-recharge-

able) battery pack as this could damage your
health and cause injury. Use the battery pack as
directed in this user guide (page 3).

The operation of medical appliances may be
affected. Be aware of the technical conditions
within the particular environment (e.g. doctor's
practice).

Do not hold the rear of the handset to your ear
when it is ringing or when the handsfree func­tion is activated. This can cause severe, perma­nent hearing damage.
The handset may cause an unpleasant hum­ming noise in hearing aids.

Do not install the phone in a bathroom or
shower room. The handset and base station
are not splashproof.

Do not use the telephone in environments
subject to explosion hazard (e.g. auto paint
shops).

If you give your Gigaset to someone else,
make sure you also give them the user guide.

Setting up the telephone for use

12

Base station without answering machine

12

Base station with answering machine

cord

1 and then connect the phone jack to phone

cord

2, as shown above. Place the cords in the cord

recesses. The two cords must be plugged in at all
times.

◆ Only use the mains unit supplied.

◆ If you ever purchase another phone cord from

a store, ensure that the phone conductors are
correctly connected: 3-4 connection of the tele­phone conductors.

Step 2: Setting up the handset

Note:
The display is protected by a plastic film.

Please remove the protective film!

Fitting the battery pack

◆ Place the battery leads in the cable guides so

that the battery cover cannot catch on the leads
and damage them when it is closed.

◆ Use only the rechargeable battery pack rec-

ommended by Siemens (page 9), i.e. never use
a conventional (non-rechargeable) battery pack
as this may cause significant damage to health
and property. For example, the outer casing of the
battery pack could be destroyed or the battery
pack could explode. The phone could also mal­fu nct ion or b e da maged as a res ult of u sin g ba tter­ies that are not of the recommended type.

◆ Never use non-Siemens battery chargers as

this could damage the battery pack.

◆ Only place the handset in the charging cradle

that is intended for it.

◆ Insert the plug into the socket as shown in the

enlarged view.

◆ Insert the battery pack.

◆ Place the cords in the cord routing.

Closing the battery cover

Insert the cover into the top end of the battery
compartment and press down until it clicks into
place.

Step 3: Registering the handset to
the base station and charging the
battery pack

Precondition: The handset is not already regis­tered to a base station.

Registering the handset to the Gigaset C360/C365
base station occurs automatically. Place the hand­set in the charging cradle of the base station with
its display facing forward. You will hear a confir­mation tone. Leave the handset in the base station
until it is registered.
Automatic registration can take up to 5 minutes.
While this is happening, Registering flashes in the
screen. The handset is assigned the lowest unas­signed internal number (1–4). If several handsets
are registered to the base station, the internal
number is shown in the top left of the display after
registration, e.g. 2. If the internal numbers 1 to 4
have already been assigned (four handsets have
already been registered), handset number four is
de-registered and overwritten.

Charging the battery pack

leave the handset in the base station for approx.
13 hours for the Gigaset C360 or approx. 6 hours
for the . The battery pack is now fully charged. The
charge status of the battery pack is correctly dis­played only after uninterrupted charging/discharg­ing. Therefore you should not interrupt the charg­ing procedure.

Charging is electronically controlled to prevent the
battery pack from overcharging. The battery pack
heats up during charging. This is normal and not
dangerous. After a time its charge capacity will
decrease for technical reasons.
You must set the date and time to ensure that the
times of calls are logged correctly (see Menu tree,
page 10).
Once the phone is registered and the time set, the
idle display looks as shown on page 1.

Opening the battery cover

Place your fingernail between the cover and the
housing and pull the cover upwards.
