First Steps
Please note:
u The power adapter must be always
connected, as the phone will not oper-
ate without an electrical connection.

Setting up the handset for use

Fitting the battery pack

Caution:
Use only the rechargeable battery pack recom­mended by Siemens (page 31). Never use a conventional (non-rechargeable) battery pack, as this may cause significant damage to health and property. For example, the outer casing of the 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. Use of battery packs not authorized by Siemens may void the warranty on this prod­uct.
¤ Insert the plug into the socket as shown
in the enlarged view.
¤ Insert the battery pack. ¤ Place the cords in the cord routing.
Closing the battery cover
¤ Hold the battery cover at a slight angle
and install the two lower clips into the
casing first. Then close the cover, press
on the top 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 facing 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.

Page 8
First Steps
Opening the battery cover
Position both thumbs on the lock ring and simultaneously 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.

Placing the handset in the base station and registering

¤ Place the handset in the base with its
display facing outwards.
The handset registers automatically. Reg­istration takes around 1 minute. During this time Regstr.Procedure appears in the display and the name of the base station flashes, for example Base 1. The handset will be assigned the lowest unassigned internal intercom number (1–6).
This will appear in the display when regis­tration is complete, for example INT 1. This means that the number 1 has been assigned. If the internal numbers 1–6 are already assigned to other units, the number 6 is overwritten.
Notes:
– Automatic registration is only possible if
no-one is making calls using the base sta­tion.
– Each key press interrupts the automatic
registration.
– If automatic registration does not work the
handset will need to be registered manually (page 18).
– You can change the name of the handset
(page 21).
Leave the handset in the base station to charge the battery pack.
Notes:
– If the handset has switched itself off
because the battery has no charge, and is then placed in the base station, it will switch itself on automatically.
– The handset must only be placed in the
designated base.
For questions and problems see page 30.

Headset socket

Which headsets are compatible? The following headsets have been tested with the S45:
u Plantronics M40 u Plantronics MX100 u Plantronics MX150
If you do not connect a headset, please insert the cover supplied for the headset socket to support the splash proof feature.

Initial charging and discharging of the battery pack

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). 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
base station continuously for ten
hours. Your handset need not be
switched on for it to charge.
¤ Afterwards, remove the handset from
the base station and do not put it back
again until the battery pack is fully dis-
charged.
Note:
After the initial charge and discharge you may replace your handset in the base station after every call.

Registering handsets

You can register up to a total of six hand­sets on your base station.
A Gigaset E45 handset can be registered on up to four base stations.

Automatic registration Gigaset E45 to Gigaset E450

Important: The handset must not yet be registered to any base station.
Registering the handset to the Gigaset E450 base station occurs automatically.
¤ 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, for example Base 1. When the handset has been registered, its screen displays its internal number, for example 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, assuming that the handset with the internal number 6 is in idle sta­tus.
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.
– You can change the name of the handset
(page 21).

Manual registration of Gigaset E45 to Gigaset E450

You must activate manual registration of the handset at both the handset and the base station.
After it has been registered, the handset returns to idle status. The internal number of the handset appears in the display, for
example INT 1. If it does not, repeat the
procedure.

Using a handset as a room monitor

If the room monitor is activated, a previ­ously stored destination number is called as soon as a set noise level is reached. You can store an internal or external number in your handset as the destination number.
The room monitor call to an external number stops after approx. 90 seconds. The room monitor call to an internal number (handset) stops after approx. 3 minutes (depending on the base station). While the room monitor is activated, all keys are locked except the end call key. The handset's speaker is muted.
When the room monitor is activated, incoming calls to the handset are indi­cated without a ringtone and are only shown on the screen. The display and key­pad are not illuminated and advisory tones are also turned off.
If you accept an incoming call, the room monitor mode is suspended for the dura­tion of the call, but the function remains activated.
If you switch off the handset, the room monitor mode is deactivated. You will need to reactivate the function after switching on the handset again.
Caution:
– You should always check the operation
of the room monitor before use. For example, test its sensitivity. Check the connection if you are diverting the room monitor to an outside number.
– When the function is switched on the hand-
set's operating time is severely reduced. If necessary, place the handset in the charging cradle. This ensures that the battery pack will not run down.
– Ideally the handset should be positioned
1 to 2 meters away from the sound being monitored. The microphone must be directed towards the monitored sound.
– The connection to which the room monitor
is diverted must not be blocked by an acti­vated answering machine.

Care

¤ Wipe the base station and handset with
a damp cloth (do not use solvent) or an antistatic cloth.
Never use a dry cloth. This can cause static.

Contact with liquid

Your handset is splash proof. If it comes into contact with water, knock
the water out of the microphone opening and remove any water on the handset with an absorbent cloth. Your handset is ready for use.
If your handset comes into contact with a larger amount of liquid take the following steps:
1. Do not switch the handset on under any circumstances!
2. Remove the battery pack immediately.
3. Remove the headset socket cover.
4. Hold the handset horizontally with the open battery compartment facing down.
5. Hold the handset vertically. Tilt the handset backwards and forwards slightly, giving it a gentle shake each time.
6. Dab all parts dry and then leave the handset for at least 72 hours with the battery compartment open and the keypad facing down in a dry, warm place (not in a microwave, oven or similar).
When it has fully dried out, you will nor­mally be able to use it again.

FCC / ACTA Information

Warning: Changes or modifications to this
unit not expressly approved by Siemens Cordless Products could void the FCC authority to operate the equipment. This includes the addition of any external antenna device.
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the ACTA. On the bottom of the base station is a label that contains, among other information, a product identifier in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this number must be provided to the telephone company. A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone network nust comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA. A compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this product. It is designed to be connected to a compatible modular jack that is also compliant. See installation instructions for details.
The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone company. For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is part of the product iden­tifier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the REN with­out a decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3). For earlier products, the REN is separately shown on the label.
If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in advance, that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. But if advance notice isn’t practical, the telephone company will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your right to file a com­plaint with the FCC if you belive it is necessary. The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations or proce­dures that could affect the operation of the equipment. If this happens the telephone com­pany will provide advance notice in order for you to make necessary modifications to main­tain uninterrupted service. If you experience trouble with this telephone system, disconnect it from the network until the problem has been
corrected or until you are sure that the equip­ment is not malfunctioning.
If trouble is experienced with this equipment, for repair or warranty information, please con­tact Siemens Customer Care, Tel. 1-866 247

This telephone system equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired opera­tion. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interfer­ence in a residential installation. Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause interference to nearby TV’s and VCR’s; to minimize or prevent such interference, the system base should not be placed near or on top of a TV or VCR; and, if interference is expe­rienced, moving the base farther away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference.
However, there is no guarantee that interfer­ence will not occur in a particular installation. If this telephone system does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the system off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
2. Increase the separation between the base station and receiver.
