● Use only “AA” rechargeable NiCd or NiMH batteries. Do not
use Alkaline, Lithium or non-rechargeable batteries.
● Never use non-Siemens charging units as these can damage
the batteries.
Placing Handset into the Base Station and Charging the
Batteries
IMPORTANT! Before using your handset, you must register it
first.
Turn the handset off by holding down the END key then place it in the
base station with the display facing upward toward you. After about
one minute, the handset's internal number will appear on the display
(for example“INT 1”). Successful registration is signaled by a confirmation beep (crescendo tone sequence).
For information on how to register additional handsets (bought
separately), see page 29.
Gigaset 4010 Comfort, CHIN eng, A31008-G4010-
Leave the handset in the base station for about 12–14 hours the first
time the batteries are charged. The charging status symbol flashes on
the handset, indicating that the batteries are being charged:
Ý
Ü
Batteries empty (symbol

Batteries 1/3 charged
● Once the initial charging operation is completed, you can re-
place your handset into the base station or charger 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.

Registering Handsets
In order for a handset to work it must be registered to
your base. Handsets can either be registered automatically or manually. The handset that comes with
your Gigaset S 88 needs to be first registered to
the base in order for it to work.

Automatic Registration
To automatically register a handset:
a Turn the handset off by holding down the End key
Place the handset in the base station with the display
facing toward you.
The handset will turn on once it is placed into the base.
After approximately one minute, the handset's intercom number is shown (for example, “INT1”).
The handset is now registered and ready for use.
Up to three 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 each handset as it is registered. If all numbers are assigned, the intercom number 4 is automatically reassigned.
It is possible to assign a different intercom number
(see page 85) or a different intercom name (see
page 85) to a handset.
If automatic registration does not work properly, or you
wish to register your handset to another base station
you may manually register a handset. A handset can
only be registered to one Gigaset base station at a
time.
