First Steps
Registering the handset to the base station
Before you can use the phone, you must
first register the handset to the base station. The actual registration procedure will
depend on the type of base station.
A Gigaset S18H handset can be registered
on up to four base stations.
Automatic registration: Gigaset S18H handset to Gigaset S185 base station
Important: The handset must not yet be
registered to any base station.
Registering the handset to the
Gigaset S185 base station occurs automatically.
The registration can take up to 5 minutes.
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.
ÐV
INT 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.
Note:
– 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 27).

display facing outwards.
¤ The handset registers automatically.
Please do NOT remove your handset
from the base station during the registration procedure.
