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

. 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

. 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:

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.
