Registering your phone
Before you can use your Gigaset S44 you
must register it to a base station. It can be
registered to a maximum of four base sta-
tions. The actual registration procedure
will depend on the type of base station.
Automatic registration Gigaset S44 to
Gigaset S440/S445
Important: The handset must not already
be registered to any base station.
The handset registers automatically to the
Gigaset S440/S445 base station.
¤
Place the handset in the base station
with its display facing forward.
Registration takes about 1 minute. During
this process, Regstr.Procedure appears in
the display and the name of the base sta-
tion, e.g. Base 1 , flashes. When the hand-
set has registered, its screen displays its
internal number, e.g. INT 2 for internal
number 2. The handset will be assigned
the lowest unassigned number (1–6).
If all internal numbers 1-6 have been
assigned, number 6 is overwritten, if the
handset with the internal number 6 is in
idle status.
Manual registration Gigaset S44
If the handset does not activate automati-
cally when the batteries are fitted, you
have to charge the batteries first.
You must activate manual registration of
the handset at both the handset and the
base station.
After it has registered, the handset returns
to idle status. The internal number of the
handset appears in the display, e.g. INT 1 .
Otherwise repeat the procedure.

Charging batteries
¤
Plug the mains adapter of the charging
cradle into a mains power socket.
¤
Place the handset in the cradle with its
display facing forward.
To charge the batteries, leave the handset
in the charging cradle. If the handset is
activated, the battery charging process is
indicated on the handset by the flashing
battery icon e. During handset opera-
tion, the battery icon indicates the charge
status of the batteries (page 1).
First battery charge and discharge
The correct charge status can only be dis-
played when the batteries are first fully
charged and discharged.
¤
To do this, leave the handset in the
charging cradle without interruption
for 10 hours. Your handset need not be
switched on to charge.
¤
Once the batteries are fully charged,
remove the handset from the cradle
and do not put it back again until the
batteries are fully discharged.
Note:
– Automatic registration is only possible
while no-one is making calls using the base
station.
– Each key press cancels automatic registra-
tion.
– If automatic registration does not work,
you will have to register the handset manu-
ally.
