First Steps

Pack contents

u one Gigaset E45 handset, u one charging cradle (incl. mains

adapter),

u one battery pack, u one battery cover, u one lock ring, u one belt clip, u one headset socket cover, u one user guide.

Setting up the handset for use

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

Fitting the battery pack

Caution:

Use only the rechargeable battery pack recommended by Siemens (page 19). I.e. on no account may a conventional (non-rechargeable) battery pack or other type of battery be used, as this may cause significant damage to health and property e.g. the outer casing of the battery or battery pack could be destroyed or the battery pack 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 plug into the socket. ¤ Insert the battery pack. ¤ Place the cords in the cord routing.

Safety precautions

Closing the battery cover

¤ Hold the battery cover at a slight angle

and introduce the two lower lugs into the casing first. Then close the cover so that it clicks into place.

Locking the battery cover

Insert the catches on the lock ring or belt clip into the notches in the casing and make sure that the arrow markings on the casing are aligned with those on the bottom of the ring. Turn the lock ring or belt clip clockwise to the end stop. When both holes are horizontally aligned with the upper edge of the handset the lock ring is closed.

Opening the battery cover

Position both thumbs on the lock ring and at the same time turn the lock ring or belt clip anticlockwise and remove.

¤ Insert a coin into the cavity at the top of

the battery cover and twist it until the cover opens.

Registering your phone

Before you can use your Gigaset E45 you must register it to a base station. It can be registered to a maximum of four base stations. The actual registration procedure will depend on the type of base station.

Automatic registration Gigaset E45 to Gigaset E450

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

Registering the handset to the Gigaset E450 base station occurs automatically. (On the E455 base station you register your handset manually, see page 6.)

¤ Place the handset in the base with its

display facing forward.

Registration takes around 1 minute. During this process, Regstr.Procedure appears in the display and the name of the base station flashes e.g. Base 1. When the handset has registered, its screen displays its internal 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.

Safety precautions

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.

– Each key press interrupts the automatic

registration.

– If automatic registration does not work,

you will have to register the handset manually.

Manual registration of the Gigaset E45

If the handset does not activate automatically when the battery pack is fitted, you must first charge the battery pack.

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

After it has registered, the handset returns to idle status. The handset's internal number is shown in the display e.g. INT 1. If not, repeat the procedure.

Headset socket

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

If you do not connect a headset, please insert the cover supplied for the headset socket to guarantee the unit is still splash proof.

Charging the battery pack

¤ Plug the mains adapter of the charging

cradle into a mains power socket.

¤ Place the handset in the cradle with its

display facing forward.

To charge the battery pack, leave the handset in the charging cradle. If the handset is activated, the flashing battery icon e in the top right of the display indicates that the battery pack is being charged. During handset operation, the battery icon indicates the charge status of the battery pack (page 1).

Initial charging and discharging of the battery pack

The correct charge status can only be displayed if the battery pack is first fully charged and discharged.

¤ To do this, leave the handset in the

charging cradle continuously for ten hours. Your handset need not be switched on for it to charge.

¤ Afterwards, remove the handset from

the charging cradle and do not put it back again until the battery pack is fully discharged.

Notes:

– The handset should only be placed in a

base station or charging cradle that is designed for it.

– When the handset is in the cradle, it

charges even if it is switched off.

– If the handset has switched itself off

because the battery pack is flat and it is then placed in the cradle, it will switch itself on automatically.

– After the first battery charge and discharge

you may replace your handset in the charging cradle after every call.

Please remember:

u Always repeat the charging and dis-

charging procedure if you remove the battery pack from the handset and insert it again.

Making calls

u The battery pack may warm up as it is

charging. This is not dangerous.

u After a time the charge capacity of the

battery pack will decrease for technical reasons.
