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

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).

General
Text messages are exchanged between SMS centres that are operated by service providers. The telephone number of the SMS centres through which you wish to send and
receive text messages must be entered in your phone. Up to five SMS centres can be
entered. SMS centres may be preconfigured at the factory. You can change the telephone numbers of the SMS centres.
You can receive text messages from any of the SMS centres whose number you have
entered. Of course you must be registered to receive text messages with those SMS centres. Your text message is sent through the SMS centre that is entered as the active send
service centre (page 29). Only one SMS centre can be the send centre at any one time.
Your text message is sent through the SMS centre that is entered as SMS Centre No. 1(active send service centre). However you can activate any other SMS centre as the
active send service centre to send a current message (page 29). Note that the next text
message you write will be sent automatically through SMS Centre No. 1 again.
Sending text messages to email addresses
If you wish to send text messages to email addresses you must make additional settings
for the send centre on your phone (page 29). Ask your service provider if he supports
the "SMS to email" service and what settings you must make.
Storage capacity
The number of text messages that can be stored in the base depends on the size of the
messages. The memory is used for the incoming and draft message lists. When the
memory is full, you are prompted to delete messages.

◆ To receive text messages you must be registered with your service provider.
Ask your telephone network provider
◆ what charges are billed for sending and receiving a text message,
◆ which mobile phone operators you can send text messages to and which mobile
phone operators you can receive text messages from,
◆ which functions your SMS service offers,
◆ how you are registered with SMS centres which your phone may already be precon-
figured for – automatically by sending a message or by a special registration procedure.

Tex t m essages to PABX's
You can only receive a text message when the Calling Line Identification is forwarded to the extension of the PABX (CLIP).
The CLIP of the number of the SMS centre is evaluated in the Gigaset (telephone).
If your phone is connected to a PABX, you may have to prefix the number of the SMS
centre with the access code (this depends on your PABX). If in doubt, you can test your
PABX by sending a text message to your own number and putting the access code
before the number of the SMS centre. If you do not receive the message, send another
one, this time without the access code.
When you send messages, your sender number may be sent without your extension
number. The recipient cannot reply to you directly in this case.
Text messages can only be sent and received through ISDN exchanges with the MSN
number assigned to your base.

The received date and time of each message is logged if you have previously set this
function (page 14).
As well as the built-in answering machine, you can also select an answering machine of
your network provider (e.g. Deutsche Telekom’s network mailbox).

Registering and de-registering handsets
Registering and de-registering handsets
You can register up to six handsets on your base.
A C 1 that is not yet registered on a base is registered automatically. Handsets that
belong to the Gigaset 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000 families and handsets made by other
manufacturers must be registered manually.
A C 1 handset can be registered on one base.
Automatic registration: Gigaset C 1 on Gigaset C 100 or C 150
Any handset that is not registered on a base can be registered automatically.
To register your handset for the first time, place it in the base with the display up. Reg-
istration takes around one minute. While registration is in progress the screen displays
Registering Base 1 and Base 1 flashes. The handset will be automatically assigned
the lowest unassigned internal number (1–6). You will see this number in the top left
of the display after registration, e.g. '1' . This means that the handset has been assigned
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.
◆ Automatic registration is not possible when the base on which you
i
wish to register the handset is being used to make a call.
◆ You can give a registered handset a different internal number
(page 56) or a different name (page 55).

Care
Wipe the base and the handset with a damp cloth (use no solvent) or an antistatic cloth.
Never use a dry cloth as this can cause static discharge!
Contact with liquid
!
If the handset should come into contact with liquid, on no account switch the device
on. Remove all batteries immediately.
Allow the liquid to drain out of the device, and then pat all parts of the device dry.
Keep the handset with the batteries removed in a warm, dry place for at least 72 hours.
