could result in significant health risks and personal injury.
‹
Œ
Insert rechargeable batteries as indicated by their polarity symbols, and use
them according to these instructions (polarity symbols can be seen in the handset's battery compartments).
The operation of medical appliances may be affected. Be aware of the technical
conditions in your particular environment, e.g. operation rooms.
The handset may cause an unpleasant humming noise in hearing aids.
Do not install the base station in bathrooms or showers. The handset and base
are not waterproof (page 39).
Switch off your phone when onboard aircraft. Ensure that it cannot be switched
on again accidentally.
Do not use your phone in environments with a potential explosion hazard,
e.g. auto paint shops.

Gigaset C345– More than just a telephone
Gigaset C345– More than
just a telephone
Your phone not only lets you send and
receive text messages over the fixed network and store up to 100 telephone numbers (page 13) – it can do much, much
more:
u You can programme the keys of your
phone with important numbers so you
can dial at the touch of a button
(page 14).
u You can designate important people as
VIPs so you can tell important calls from
the ring tone (page 13).
u You can store birthdays (page 14) in
your phone and it will remind you of
them in advance.
Have fun using your new phone!
Preparing to use the phone
The pack contains:
u one Gigaset C345 base station,
u one Gigaset C34 handset,
u one power supply unit,
u one telephone cord,
u two batteries
u one battery cover
u one set of operating instructions.
Please note:
u Never expose the phone to the follow-
ing: heat sources, direct sunlight, other
electrical appliances.
u Protect your Gigaset from moisture,
dust, corrosive liquids and vapours.
Range
Range:
u Outdoors: up to 300 m
u Indoors: up to 50 m
Setting up the handset for use
Inserting the batteries
Caution:
Use only the rechargeable batteries recommended by Siemens on page 42! Under no circumstances should you use a conventional
(non rechargeable) battery or other battery
types as this could cause significant damage to
health and property, e.g. the outer casing of
the batteries could be destroyed or the batteries could explode. The phone could also malfunction or be damaged as a result of using
batteries that are not of the recommended
type.
¤ Fit the batteries with the correct
polarity.
Installing the base
The base is designed to be operated in
enclosed, dry areas at temperatures ranging from +5 °C to +45 °C.
¤ Set up the base at a central position
within the home.

Placing the handset in the base and
registering it
¤ Place the handset in the charging cra-
dle of the base unit with its display facing forward.
The handset registers automatically. Registration takes around 1 minute. While this
is happening, Registering appears in the
display and the name of the base, Base 1,
flashes. The handset is given the lowest
available internal number (1–6). When
the handset has registered, this number
appears in the display, e.g. INT 1. This
means that the handset has been allocated the first internal number. If all internal numbers 1–6 have been assigned (six
handsets are registered on a base), the
number 6 is overwritten if that handset is
in idle status.
Notes:
– Automatic registration is not possible when
the base on which you wish to register the
handset is being used to make a call.
– A key press cancels automatic registration.
– If automatic registration does not work the
handset will have to be registered manually
(page 30).
– The name of the handset can be changed
(page 32).
¤ Leave the handset in the charging cra-
dle in the base to charge up the
batteries.
Notes:
– The handset may only be placed in the base
provided for it.
– When the handset is in the base, it charges
even if it is switched off. You will see the
charge status in the display.
– If the handset has switched itself off
because the batteries are flat and if it is
then placed in the base, it will switch itself
on automatically.
If you have any questions or problems see
page 39.
First battery charge and discharge
Battery charging is indicated in the top
right of the display by a flashing battery
icon e, V or U. During handset operation, the battery icon indicates the
charge status of the batteries (page 1).
The correct charge status can only be displayed when the batteries are first fully
charged and discharged through use.
¤ To do this, leave the handset in the
base without interruption until the
battery icon stops flashing in the display (approx. 6h). Your handset need
not be switched on for it to charge.
¤ Once the batteries are fully charged,
remove the handset from the base and
do not put it back again until the batteries are fully discharged.
Note:
After the first battery charge and discharge
you may replace your handset in its base after
every call.
Please note:
u Always repeat the charging and dis-
charging procedure if you remove the
batteries from the handset and insert
them in again.
u The batteries may warm up as they are
charging. This is not dangerous.
