Safety precautions

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

the device.

Fit only the recommended rechargeable batteries (page 105) 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.

Do not install the base in bathrooms or shower rooms (page 101). The handset and base are not watertight.

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) and 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

◆ one belt clip for the handset,

◆ two batteries,

◆ one set of operating instructions.

Installing the base

Hints on installing

The base is designed to be operated in enclosed, dry areas at temperatures ranging from +5 °C to +45 °C. Install the base at a central location in your home, e.g. in the hall.

◆ Never expose the telephone to heat sources, direct sunlight, other

Removing protective film

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 o p e n the battery cover, press on the chequered area and slide down.

Use only the rechargeable batteries recommended by Siemens on page 105! 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 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 73): This operation takes around one minute. While registration is in progress the screen displays Registering and Base 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. You can change the handset name (page 77).

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 flashing battery icon

= Batteries flat V Batteries e Batteries

Should automatic registration be interrupted, register the handset manually as described starting on page 74. You can get help from a table containing basic questions and answers (page 101).

= :

/3 charged

charged U Batt. fully charged

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.

To register additional handsets, refer to page 74.

For the initial charge we recommend a continuous, uninterrupted 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

base 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 danger-

ous.

Note

Your telephone is now ready for use. With the Gigaset C 250, the answering machine with pre-recorded announcement is also activated. To correctly record the time of calls and, if applicable, messages (C 250 only) you must now set the date and time (page 15).

Attaching the belt clip

Push the belt clip onto the back of the handset until the lugs click into the recesses on either side of the handset.

Activating/deactivating the handset

To activate the handset press the 'end call' key a and hold. You will hear a confirma- tion tone (rising tone sequence).

To deactivate the handset, press the 'end call' key (confirmation tone).
