the protective film!
Inserting the batteries
Warning:
Use only the rechargeable batteries recommended by Gigaset Communications GmbH
(page 42). Never use a conventional (nonrechargeable) battery or other battery types as
this could result in significant health risks and
personal injury. For example, the batteries could
explode. The phone could also malfunction or be

First steps
Attaching the belt clip
There are notches for attaching the belt clip
on the side of the handset at the same
height as the display.
¤ Press the belt clip onto the back of the

belt clip engage with the notches.
Opening the battery cover
¤ Place your fingertip in the cavity on the
casing and pull the battery cover

Placing the handset in the base station and registering
¤ Place the handset in the base station with
its display facing upwards.
The handset registers automatically.
Registration can take up to 5 minutes. While
this is happening, Regstr.Procedure appears
in the display and the name of the base station flashes. The handset is assigned the lowest available internal number (1-4).
This will appear in the display when registration is complete, e.g. INT 1. This means that
the number 1 has been assigned. If the internal numbers 1–4 are already assigned to
other devices, the number 4 is overwritten.
Please note:
– Automatic registration is only possible while
no calls are being made from the base station.
– Each key press interrupts the automatic regis-
tration.
– If automatic registration does not work the
handset will have to be registered manually
(page 24).
– You can change the name of the handset
(page 27).
To charge the batteries, leave the handset in
the base station.
Please note:
– The handset will automatically switch on if it
is placed in the base station.
– Only place the handset in the base station or
charging cradle that is intended for it.
For questions and problems see page 41.

be displayed if the batteries are first fully
charged and discharged.
¤ To do this, leave the handset in the base
station or charging cradle without interruption for five hours.
¤ Afterwards, remove the handset from the
base station and do not put it back again
until the batteries are fully discharged.
Please note:
After the first battery charge and discharge you
may replace your handset in its base station after
every call.
Please note:
u Always repeat the charging and discharg-
ing procedure if you remove the batteries
from the handset and reinsert them.
u The batteries may warm up during charg-
ing. This is not dangerous.
u After a while the charge capacity of the
batteries will decrease for technical reasons.
