First Steps
Setting up the handset for use
Inserting the batteries
¤
Fit the batteries with the correct polarity
(see diagram).
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 C455
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 30.
Caution:
Use only the rechargeable batteries recommended by
Siemens on page 32. I.e. never use a conventional
(non-rechargeable) battery or other battery type,
otherwise serious damage to health and property
cannot be ruled out, e.g. the outer casing of the bat-
teries could be destroyed or the batteries could
explode. The phone could also malfunction or be
damaged as a result of using batteries that are not of
the recommended type.
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 24).
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.
