First Steps
The polarity is indicated in the battery compart-
ment.
The handset switches on automatically. You will
hear a confirmation tone.
Closing the battery cover
¤
Position the cover pointing slightly down-
wards and push it up until it clicks into posi-
tion.
Opening the battery cover
¤
Press below the upper curve on the battery
cover and slide down.
Placing the handset in the base station
and registering
Important: the handset must not already be
registered to a base station.
Registering the handset to the Gigaset C450
base station occurs automatically.
¤
Place the handset in the charging cradle of
the base unit with its display facing for-
ward.
You will hear a confirmation tone.
Automatic registration takes around one
minute. While registration is in progress the
screen displays Registering and Base flashes.
The handset is assigned the lowest unassigned
internal number (1–4). If several handsets are
registered to the base, the internal number is
shown in the display after registration, e.g. INT
2 . This means that the handset has been
assigned the internal number 2. If the handset
has been registered successfully you will see
the display key §INT§ at the bottom left of the dis-
play.
¤
To charge the batteries, leave the handset in
the charging cradle on the base station.
For questions and problems see page 25.
Initial charging and discharging of
batteries
Battery charging is indicated in the top right of
the display by a flashing battery icon e , V
or U . During handset operation, the battery
icon indicates the charge status of the batteries
(page 1).
The correct charge status can only be displayed
when the batteries are first fully charged and
discharged through use.
¤
To do this, leave the handset in the base
without interruption until the battery icon
stops flashing in the display (approx. 13h).
¤
Once the batteries are fully charged, remove
the handset from the base and do not put it
back again until the batteries are fully dis-
charged.
Please remember:
u Always repeat the charging and discharging
procedure if you remove the batteries from
the handset and re-insert them.
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.
– A key press cancels automatic registration.
– If four handsets are already registered to the base
station there are two options:
– The handset with the internal number 4 is in
idle status: the handset you wish to register is
assigned the number 4. The handset that was
previously number 4 is de-registered.
– The handset with the internal number 4 is
being used: the handset you wish to register
cannot be registered.
– If automatic registration does not work the hand-
set will have to be registered manually (page 19).
Notes:
– The handset may only be placed in the base pro-
vided for it.
– If the handset has switched itself off because the
batteries are flat and is then placed in the cradle,
it will switch itself on automatically.
Note:
After the first battery charge and discharge you may
replace your handset in its base after every call.
