Safety precautions
Caution:
Read the safety precautions and the user guide before use.
Explain their contents to your children, and the potential hazards associated with using the telephone.
Only use the mains adapter supplied, as indicated on the underside of the base station.
$
Fit only the recommended rechargeable batteries (page 27) of the same type! I.e. do
not use any other battery type or non-rechargeable batteries as this could result in significant health risks and personal injury.
‹

guide (polarity symbols can be seen in the handset's battery compartment, page 4).
Œ
The operation of medical appliances may be affected. Be aware of the technical conditions
in your particular environment, e.g. doctor's surgery.
The handset may cause an unpleasant humming noise in hearing aids.
Do not install the base station in bathrooms or shower rooms. The handset and base station are not splash proof (page 25).
Do not use the phone in environments with a potential explosionhazard, e.g. auto paint
shops.
If you give your Gigaset to someone else, make sure you also give them the user guide.

with important phone numbers. The
number is then dialled by simply pressing a
key (page 12).
u Use the handsfree function (page 9) to keep
your hands free when making a call.
u Use your handset as an alarm clock
(page 22).

Installing the base station
The base is designed to be operated in
enclosed, dry areas at temperatures ranging
from +5 °C to +45 °C.
¤ Set up the base station at a central point in
the apartment or house.
Please note:

Inserting the batteries
Caution:
Use only the rechargeable batteries recommended by
Siemens on page 27. I.e. never use a conventional
(non-rechargeable) battery or other battery type,
otherwise serious damage to health and property
cannot be ruled out, 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
(see diagram).
4
First Steps
The polarity is indicated in the battery compartment.
The handset switches on automatically. You will
hear a confirmation tone.
Closing the battery cover
¤ Position the cover pointing slightly down-
wards and push it up until it clicks into position.
Opening the battery cover
¤ Press below the upper curve on the battery
cover and slide down.
Placing the handset in the base station and registering
Important: the handset must not already be
registered to a base station.
Registering the handset to the Gigaset C450
base station occurs automatically.
¤ Place the handset in the charging cradle of
the base unit with its display facing forward.
You will hear a confirmation tone.
Automatic registration takes around one
minute. While registration is in progress the
screen displays Registering and Base flashes.
The handset is assigned the lowest unassigned
internal number (1–4). If several handsets are
registered to the base, the internal number is
shown in the display after registration, e.g. INT
2. This means that the handset has been
assigned the internal number 2. If the handset
has been registered successfully you will see
the display key
play.
§INT§ at the bottom left of the dis-
Notes:
– Automatic registration is not possible when the
base station on which you wish to register the
handset is being used to make a call.
– A key press cancels automatic registration.
– If four handsets are already registered to the base
station there are two options:
– The handset with the internal number 4 is in
idle status: the handset you wish to register is
assigned the number 4. The handset that was
previously number 4 is de-registered.
– The handset with the internal number 4 is
being used: the handset you wish to register
cannot be registered.
– If automatic registration does not work the hand-
set will have to be registered manually (page 19).
¤ To charge the batteries, leave the handset in
the charging cradle on the base station.
Notes:
– The handset may only be placed in the base pro-
vided for it.
– If the handset has switched itself off because the
batteries are flat and is then placed in the cradle,
it will switch itself on automatically.
For questions and problems see page 25.
Initial charging and discharging of batteries
Battery charging is indicated in the top right of
the display by a flashing battery icon
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.
e, V
¤ To do this, leave the handset in the base
without interruption until the battery icon
stops flashing in the display (approx. 13h).
¤ 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 remember:
u Always repeat the charging and discharging
procedure if you remove the batteries from
the handset and re-insert them.
5
First Steps
u The batteries may warm up as they are
charging. This is not dangerous.
u After a time the charge capacity of the bat-
teries will decrease for technical reasons.
