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 32) 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.

‹

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 6).

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 30).

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.

Dispose of used devices and batteries in accordance with statutory requirements.

Note:

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

ECO DECT

ECO DECT reduces power consumption by using a power supply with low power consumption and also reduces the transmission power of the base station.

The transmission power of the base station is switched off when just 1 handset is registered on the base station!

Your handset also reduces the transmission power depending on the distance to the base station.

Gigaset C455 – more than just a telephone

Your phone not only enables you to send and receive text messages over the fixed network and store up to 100 telephone numbers (page 13) – it can do a whole lot more:

u You can programme the keys of your phone

with important phone numbers. The number is then dialled by simply pressing a key (page 13).

u Use the handsfree function (page 10) to

keep your hands free when making a call.

u Use your handset as an alarm clock

(page 27).

Have fun using your new telephone!

First Steps

Setting up the handset for use

Inserting the batteries

Caution:

Use only the rechargeable batteries recommended by Siemens on page 32. 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).

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 C455 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 24).

¤ 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 30.

First Steps

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. 6h).

¤ 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.

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.

Note:

You will find explanations for the symbols and typographical conventions used in this user guide in the appendix, page 30.

Belt clip and headset

By using a belt clip and headset (optional) you can easily make your mobile phone a constant companion both inside the building and in its immediate vicinity.

Attaching the belt clip

There are notches for attaching the belt clip on the side of the handset at approximately the same height as the display.

¤ Press the belt clip onto the back of the hand-

set so that the protrusions on the belt clip engage with the notches.

The belt clip's clasp must be pointing towards the battery compartment.

Connection socket for headset

You can connect the following types of headset (with jack connector): HAMA Plantronics M40, MX100 and MX150.
