Safety precautions

Caution:

Read the safety precautions and the operating instructions before use. Explain their contents to your children, and the potential hazards associated with using the telephone.

Use only the mains adapter supplied, as indicated on the underside of the charging cradle.

Fit only the recommended rechargeable batteries (page 16) of the same type! This means: do not use any other battery type or non-rechargeable batteries as this could result in significant health risks and personal injury.

Insert rechargeable batteries with the correct polarity, and use them according to this user

‹

guide (polarity symbols can be seen in the handset's battery compartment, page 4).

The operation of medical appliances may be affected. Note the technical conditions of the respective environment, e.g. doctor's surgery.

The handset may cause an unpleasant humming noise in hearing aids.

Do not install the charging cradle in bathrooms or shower rooms. The handset and charging cradle are not splash proof (page 15).

Do not use the phone in environments with a potential explosion hazard, e.g. paint shops.

If you give your Gigaset to someone else, make sure you also give them the operating

manual.

All electrical and electronic products should be disposed of separately from the municipal waste stream via designated collection facilities appointed by the government or the local authorities.

This crossed-out wheeled bin symbol on the product means the product is covered by the European Directive 2002/96/EC.

The correct disposal and separate collection of your old appliance will help prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and human health. It is a precondition for reuse and recycling of used electrical and electronic equipment.

For more detailed information about disposal of your old appliance, please contact your city office, waste disposal service or the shop where you purchased the product.

Note:

Not all of the functions described in this user guide are available in all countries.

Gigaset C45 – More than just a telephone

Your handset not only lets you store up to 100 telephone numbers (page 10) – your Gigaset C45 can do much more:

u You can programme the keys of your

handset with important phone numbers. The number is then dialled by simply pressing a key (page 10).

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 14).

Have fun using your new Gigaset C45!

Setting up the handset for use

The pack contains:

u one Gigaset C45 handset u one charging cradle (incl. mains adapter) u two batteries u one battery cover u one belt clip u one user guide

First steps

Inserting the batteries

Caution:

Use only the rechargeable batteries recommended by Siemens on page 16! This means: 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.

¤ Insert the batteries the right way round (see

figure).

The polarity is indicated in the battery compartment.

The handset switches on automatically. You will hear a confirmation tone.

Note:

If the handset does not activate automatically when the batteries are fitted, you must first charge the batteries (page 5).

Closing the battery cover

¤ Place the cover on the battery compartment

as shown in the diagram, then push it up until it clicks into position.

Opening the battery cover

¤ Press down on the battery cover below its

upper end and slide the cover down.

Connecting the charging cradle

Connecting up the charging cradle and mounting it on the wall (if required) is described at the end of these instructions.

Setting up the handset for use

Registering your phone

Before you can use your Gigaset C45 you must register it to a base station. The actual registration procedure will depend on the type of base station.

Automatic registration Gigaset C45 to Gigaset C450/C455

Important: The handset must not already be registered to any base unit.

Registering the handset to the Gigaset C450/ C455 base is automatic.

¤ 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.

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 four handsets are already registered to the base

station there are two options:

– The handset with the internal number 4 is in

– The handset with the internal number 4 is

– If automatic registration does not work the hand-

set will have to be registered manually (page 5).

§INT§ at the bottom left of the dis-

idle status: the handset you wish to register is assigned the number 4. The handset that was previously number 4 is de-registered.

being used: the handset you wish to register cannot be registered.

Manual registration Gigaset C45

You must activate manual registration of the handset at both the handset and the base station.

If the handset has been registered successfully you will see the display key left of the display. Otherwise repeat the procedure.

the base as described in the base unit's instructions.

Charging batteries

¤ Plug the mains adapter of the charging cra-

dle into a mains power socket.

¤ Place the handset in the cradle with its dis-

play facing forward.

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).

Charging and discharging the battery for the first time

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 charging

cradle without interruption until the battery icon stops flashing in the display. Your handset need not be switched on for it to charge.

¤ Once the batteries are fully charged, remove

the handset from the cradle and do not put it back again until the batteries are fully discharged.

Setting up the handset for use

Notes:

– After the first battery charge and discharge you

may replace your handset in the charging cradle

after every call. – The handset should only be placed in a base sta-

tion or charging cradle that is designed for it. – When the handset is in the cradle, 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 cra-

dle, it will switch itself on automatically.

Please note:

– Always repeat the charging and discharging pro-

cedure if you remove the batteries from the hand-

set and insert them in again. – The batteries may warm up as they are charging.

This is not dangerous. – After a while the charge capacity of the batteries

will decrease for technical reasons.
