Safety precautions
Safety precautions
Warning:
Read the safety precautions and the user guide before use.
Explain their contents and the potential hazards associated with using the telephone to your children.
Only use the mains adapter supplied, as indicated on the underside of the
$
charging cradle.
Only use the recommended, rechargeable batteries (page 23), i.e. never use
a conventional (non-rechargeable) battery or other battery types as this could
result in significant health risks and personal injury.
Batteries should not be disposed of in general household waste. Observe the
local waste disposal regulations, details of which can be obtained from your
local authority or the dealer you purchased the product from.
The operation of medical appliances may be affected. Be aware of the technical
conditions in your particular environment, e.g. doctor's surgery.
Do not hold the rear of the handset to your ear when it is ringing or when the
handsfree function is activated. Otherwise you risk serious and permanent damage to your hearing.
The handset may cause an unpleasant humming noise in hearing aids.
ƒ
Do not install the charging cradle in bathrooms or shower rooms. The charging
cradle is not splashproof (page 22).
Do not use your phone in environments with a potential explosion hazard
(e.g. paint shops).
If you give your Gigaset to someone else, make sure you also give them the user
guide.
Please remove faulty base stations from use or have them repaired by our
Service, as they could interfere with other wireless services.

Safety precautions
All electrical and electronic equipment must be disposed of separately from general household waste using the sites designated by local authorities.
If a product displays this symbol of a crossed-out rubbish bin, the product is subject to European Directive 2002/96/EC.
The appropriate disposal and separate collection of used equipment serve to
prevent potential harm to the environment and to health. They are a precondition for the re-use and recycling of used electrical and electronic equipment.
For further information on disposing of your used equipment, please contact
your local authority, your refuse collection service or the dealer you purchased
the product from.
Please note:
Not all of the functions described in this user guide are available in all countries.

much more besides:
u You can select frequently used phone
numbers at the press of a single key
(page 13).
u You can designate important people as
VIPs so you can identify important calls
from the ringer tone (page 13).

Registration
Before you can use your Gigaset S88H you
must register it to a base station. The
actual registration procedure will depend
on the type of base station.
Automatic registration of Gigaset S88H to
Gigaset S880/S8855
Precondition: The handset must not yet
have been registered to a base station.
The handset is automatically registered to
the Gigaset S880/S885 base station.
¤ Place the handset in the base station
with its display facing forward.
Registration can take up to 5 minutes.
During this process, Regstr.Procedure
appears in the display and the name of the
base station flashes. 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 (1–4). If all
internal numbers 1–4 have been
assigned, number 4 is overwritten, provided the handset with the internal
number 4 is in idle status.

First steps
Please note:
– Automatic registration is not possible when
the base station to 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 Gigaset S88H
If the handset does not activate automatically when the batteries are fitted, you
must first charge the batteries.
You must activate manual registration of
the handset on both the handset and the
base station.
Once it has been registered, the handset
returns to idle status. The handset's
internal number is shown in the display

base station or charging cradle that is
designed for it.

it is placed in the charging cradle.
– After the first battery charge and dis-
charge, you may place your handset in the
charging cradle after every call.
Please note:
u Always repeat the charging and dis-
charging procedure if you remove the
batteries from the handset and reinsert
them.
