and Charging the Batteries
Before using your handset, place it in the base sta­tion with the display facing upward. After about one minute, the handset's internal number is shown in upper left hand corner of display (for example, “1”).
For information on how to register additional handsets (bought separately), see page 27.

charged
• Once the initial charging operation is com­pleted, replace your handset into the base station after each call. Charging is con­trolled electronically. This ensures opti­mum charging and prolongs battery life.
• The batteries heat up during charging. This is normal and not dangerous.
• The battery charging status is correctly dis­played only after uninterrupted charging/ discharging. You should therefore avoid opening the battery compartment unnec­essarily.

You can register and operate up to four three hand­sets at the Gigaset C88 base station.

Registering and Deregistering Handsets

The handset that comes with the system is auto­matically registered with the base station. To regis­ter additional handsets, follow the procedures de­scribed in this chapter.

Automatic Registration

Automatic registration is possible for only the sup­plied handset and any additional Gigaset C88 hand­sets. Before using your handset, turn it off and place it in the base station with the display facing you. After approximately one minute, the handset will be registered and its internal (intercom) number is shown (for example, 2).
Up to twothree additional handsets may be added to the system for a total of four handsets.
The next unassigned intercom number (2 through
4) is automatically assigned to the handset. If all numbers are assigned, the intercom number 4 is re­assigned.
