assignment for your country.
◆ To keep your phone operational, the power supply unit must always
remain plugged in.
Step 2: Making the handset ready for service
Remove protective film
The handset display is protected by a film.
Please remove the protective film!
Insert batteries
◆ Insert the batteries the right way round – see illustration left.
◆ Place the cover on the battery compartment about 3mm down from the latch and
push it up until it clicks into position.
To o pen the cover, press on the ridged section and push downwards.
◆ Insert only approved, rechargeable batteries of the same type
(page 32)! Never use normal batteries, since these could lead to a

Step 3: Registering the handset with the base station and charging
the batteries
Place your handset in the base station with the display visible at the front – the con-
firmation tone will ring (rising sequence of tones). The handset will then register itself
automatically with the base station (page 20), all symbols flashing in the display. The
process takes about a minute. Once completed, "1" will appear in the top, left-hand cor-
ner of the display. This handset has been allocated the first internal number.
Only for A200 Duo: To register a second handset, proceed as described above. After
successful registration, "2" will then appear in the top, left-hand corner of the display.
i
Now leave the handset in the base station to allow the batteries to charge, since these
are not charged prior to delivery. The battery charging process is indicated on the handset by a flashing battery symbol
= Flat batteriesV Batteries
e Batteries
Once the batteries have been charged, your phone is ready for service. You need to set
the date and time to ensure that the time of incoming calls can be noted correctly
(page 11).

◆ For the first charging we recommend a continuous charging time as
shown in the table (page 32) – regardless of the charging status
shown in the display! Battery capacity reduces for technical reasons
after a period of time.
◆ The batteries warm up during charging - this is normal and not a cause
for concern.
◆ The correct charging status for the batteries will only be shown after
an unbroken charging/discharging cycle. You should therefore not
open the battery compartment unnecessarily.
◆ Once the first charging cycle is completed you can put your handset
back in the base station after each call. Charging is controlled electronically. This ensures optimum battery charging without overloading.

Registering and de-registering handsets
Registering and de-registering handsets
You can register up to six handsets with your base station.
Registration of a Gigaset A 2 handset that has not yet been registered with a base sta-
tion takes place automatically. You must register manually all handsets from the 1000,
2000, 3000 and 4000 Gigaset ranges, as well as C1, C2 and S1 Gigaset handsets and

Automatic registration with a base station is only possible for those handsets supplied
with it that have never been registered before.
For first-time registration, place your handset with its display to the front in the base
station. The registration process lasts about a minute, with all symbols flashing in the
display. The handset automatically receives the first unallocated internal number (1-6).
After successful registration this number is shown in the top left of the display, e.g. "1".
That means that the handset has been given the first internal number. If the internal
numbers 1 to 6 have already been allocated (if six handsets have already been registered with a handset), number 6 is de-registered and replaced.
Manual registration: Gigaset A 2 handset
You must activate manual registration of the handset at both the handset and the base
station.
During the following registration process, all symbols will flash in the display.

Should the handset come in contact with liquid, under no circumstances switch on
the device. Remove all batteries immediately.
Allow the liquid to drip out of the device and afterwards dab all parts dry.
