Making the phone ready for service
Gigaset A200 / IM eng / A31008-A200-J101-2-7619 / starting.fm / 12.06.2003
Step 3: Registering the handset with the base station and charging
the batteries
Place your handset in the base station with the
display visible at the front
– the con-
firmation tone will ring (rising sequence of tones). The handset will then register itself
automatically with the base station (page 20), all symbols flashing in the display. The
process takes about a minute. Once completed,
"1"
will appear in the top, left-hand cor-
ner of the display. This handset has been allocated the first internal number.
Only for A200 Duo
: To register a second handset, proceed as described above. After
successful registration, "
2
" will then appear in the top, left-hand corner of the display.
Now leave the handset in the base station to allow the batteries to charge, since these
are not charged prior to delivery. The battery charging process is indicated on the hand-
set by a flashing battery symbol

.
Once the batteries have been charged, your phone is ready for service. You need to set
the date and time to ensure that the time of incoming calls can be noted correctly
(page 11).

For the first charging we recommend a continuous charging time as
shown in the table (page 32) – regardless of the charging status
shown in the display! Battery capacity reduces for technical reasons
after a period of time.
◆
The batteries warm up during charging - this is normal and not a cause
for concern.
◆
The correct charging status for the batteries will only be shown after
an
unbroken
charging/discharging cycle. You should therefore not
open the battery compartment unnecessarily.
◆
Once the first charging cycle is completed you can put your handset
back in the base station after each call. Charging is controlled elec-
tronically. This ensures optimum battery charging without overload-
ing.
