Safety precautions

Only use the power supply unit supplied, as indicated on the underside of

the device.

Fit only the recommended rechargeable batteries (page 23) of the same type! Use no other types of batteries or non-rechargeable batteries, as they could damage health and cause personal injury.

‹

Ensure correct polarity when fitting rechargeable batteries, and use the battery type according to these instructions (you will see polarity symbols in the handset's

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

The handset may cause an intrusive 'hum' in hearing aids.

The handset is not watertight (page 22).

Drivers must not use their phones while driving (Walk and Talk function).

battery compartments)

Switch off your phone while on board an aircraft (Walk and Talk function). Ensure that it cannot be switched on again accidentally.

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

Ensure that your Gigaset is accompanied by these instructions when you give

it to others to use.

Dispose of the batteries and phone in accordance with environmental regulations.

Not all of the functions described in these instructions are available in all countries.

Preparing to use your phone

The pack contains:

◆ one Gigaset C 2 handset,

◆ one charging shell,

◆ one belt clip for the handset,

◆ two batteries,

◆ one power supply unit with power cord,

◆ one set of operating instructions.

Preparing to use the handset

The display is protected by a plastic film. Remove the protective plastic film!

Inserting the batteries

◆ Insert the batteries ensuring correct polarity – see figure on left.

◆ Position the battery cover so that it is open by around 3 mm, then slide up until it

closes with a click,

◆ To open the battery cover, press on the chequered area and slide down.

Use only the rechargeable batteries recommended by Siemens on page 23! Never use conventional batteries (non-rechargeable) or other

battery types as this may cause significant damage to health and property. For example, the jacket of the battery could be destroyed (hazardous). The phone could also malfunction or be damaged.

Preparing to use your phone

Placing the handset into the base (registering) and charging the batteries

When you place the C 2 handset into the C 200/C 250, C 100/C 150 or S 100/S 150 base, it will register to the base automatically. Proceed step by step as follows:

1. Place the handset in the base with the display up.

2. Wait till the handset has registered automatically to the base: This operation takes around one minute. While registration is in progress the screen displays Registering and Base 1 flashes. The allocated internal number appears in the top left of the display after registration.

3. Now leave the handset in the charging shell for the batteries to charge - the batteries are supplied uncharged. Battery charging is indicated in the top right of the display by the flashing battery icon

For the initial charge we recommend a continuous, uninterrupted

The battery charging status is correctly displayed only after uninterrupted charging/ discharging. You should therefore avoid removing the batteries unnecessarily and

ending the charging process prematurely.

charging period of five hours, whatever charge status is indicated. After a while the charge capacity of the batteries will decrease for technical reasons.

◆ Once initial charging is complete, you can replace your handset in the

charging shell after each call. Charging is controlled electronically. This ensures that the batteries are charged in a way that maximises their life.

◆ The batteries heat up during charging. This is normal and not

dangerous.

Manual registration

If automatic registration is interrupted or if you wish to use your C 2 handset at a different Gigaset base (1000, 2000, 3000 or 4000 family), then you must register it

manually. You must initiate handset registration on the handset and on the base.
