Preparing the telephone
Placing the handset into the base station and charging the batteries
If you place the handset on the base station, it automatically registers. This can be done
as follows:
1. Place the handset in the base station with the display facing upward.
2. Wait until the handset has automatically registered with the base station (page 82):
This takes about a minute. During registration the display shows Regstr.Proce-
dure and it flashes Base 1. After registration you will see "INT 1" in the display,
which means that the handset has been assigned the first internal number. You can
change the handset name "INT 1" (page 85).
3. Leave the handset in the base station to charge the batteries, because they are not
charged at the factory. The charging is indicated in the upper right of the display
where the charging status = flashes:
= Batteries flat

If automatic registration is interrupted, you can register the handset manually as
described from page 82. There is a table of the most important questions and answers
to help you (page 111).

If you want to register further handsets, please turn to page 82.
When charging the batteries for the first time, we recommend an uninter-
rupted loading time of five hours, regardless of the charging status icon!

The battery charge capacity decreases after a few years for technical rea-
sons.
The battery charging status is correctly displayed only after uninterrupted charging/dis-
charging. Therefore you should not remove the batteries unnecessarily or terminate the
charging process early.

Note:
Your Gigaset is now ready for operation. The Gigaset S 150 answering machine is
already activated with the standard announcement. All you have to do is set the date
and time, so that the time of incoming calls and messages (only S 150) can be noted
correctly (page 15).

Once the initial charging operation is completed you can replace your
handset in the base station after each call. Charging is controlled
electronically. This ensures optimum charging.
The batteries heat up during charging. This is normal and not
dangerous.
