Safety precautions
Safety precautions
Warning:
Read the safety precautions and the user guide before use.
Explain their contents and the potential hazards associated with using the telephone to your children.
Only use the mains adapter supplied, as indicated on the underside of the base
$
station or charging cradle.
Only use the recommended, rechargeable batteries (page 24), i.e. never use
a conventional (non-rechargeable) battery or other battery types as this could
result in significant health risks and personal injury.
Batteries should not be disposed of in general household waste. Observe the
local waste disposal regulations, details of which can be obtained from your
local authority or the dealer you purchased the product from.
The operation of medical appliances may be affected. Be aware of the technical
conditions in your particular environment, e.g. doctor's surgery.
Do not hold the rear of the handset to your ear when it is ringing or when the
handsfree function is activated. Otherwise you risk serious and permanent damage to your hearing.
The handset may cause an unpleasant humming noise in hearing aids.
ƒ
Do not install the base station or charging cradle in bathrooms or shower rooms.
The base station and charging cradle are not splashproof (page 20).
Do not use your 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 user
guide.
Please remove faulty base stations from use or have them repaired by our
Service, as they could interfere with other wireless services.

Safety precautions
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 local council refuse centre or the original supplier of the product.
Please note:
Not all of the functions described in this manual are available in all countries.

u You can select frequently used phone
numbers at the press of a single key
(page 12).

Registration
Before you can use your Gigaset C47H you
must register it to a base station. The
actual registration procedure will depend
on the type of base station.
Automatic registration of Gigaset C47H to
Gigaset C470/C475
Precondition: The handset must not yet
have been registered to a base station.
The handset is automatically registered to
the Gigaset C470/C475 base station.
¤ Place the handset in the base station
with its display facing forward.
Registration can take up to 5 minutes.
During this process, Regstr.Procedure
appears in the display and the name of the
base station flashes. When the handset
has registered, its screen displays its inter-
First steps
nal number, e.g. INT 2 for internal number
2. The handset is assigned the lowest
available internal number (1–6). If all
internal numbers 1–6 have been
assigned, number 6 is overwritten, provided the handset with the internal
number 6 is in idle status.
Please note:
– Automatic registration is not possible when
the base station to which you wish to register the handset is being used to make a call.
– Each key press interrupts the automatic
registration.
– If automatic registration does not work,
you will have to register the handset manually.
Automatic registration of Gigaset C47H
