Placing the handset into the base and charging the batteries
When you place the handset into the base, the handset will register automatically to
the base. 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 (page 52): This operation takes around one minute. While registration is in progress the screen displays Anmeldevorgang: and Basis 1 flashes. After registration, you will see a '1' in the
top left of the display – this means that the handset has been assigned the first internal number.
3. Now leave the handset in the base for the batteries to charge – the batteries are supplied uncharged. Battery charging is indicated in the top right of the display by the
battery icon
= Batteries flatV Batteries
e Batteries
Should automatic registration be interrupted, register the handset manually as
described starting on page 53. You can get help from a table containing basic questions
and answers (page 69).

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

the charge capacity of the batteries will decrease for technical reasons.
◆ Once initial charging is complete, you can replace your handset in the
base after each call. Charging is controlled electronically. This ensures
that the batteries are charged in a way that optimizes their life.
◆ The batteries heat up during charging. This is normal and not danger-
ous.
Note
Your telephone is now ready for operation. With the Gigaset C 150, the answering
machine with pre-recorded announcement is also activated. To correctly record the time
of calls and messages (C 150) you should now set the date and time (page 14).
