Setting Up The Telephone For Use; Making Calls - Gigaset A120 User Manual

Setting up the telephone for use

Step 1: Connecting the base
1
Connect the phone jack with the phone cord
and the mains units (230 V) with the power cord
2
as shown. Place the cords in the cord recesses.
The two cords must be plugged in at all times.
◆
Use only the mains unit supplied (see the bot-
tom of the base).
◆
If you ever purchase another phone cord from a
store, ensure that the phone conductors are cor-
rectly connected: 3-4 connection of the telephone
conductors/EURO CTR37.
◆
The range may be affected if the telephone is
wall mounted.
Step 2: Setting up the handset
Fitting the battery pack
◆ To open the battery compartment, push the
tongue on the battery cover inwards (see pic-
ture on left) and lift off the cover.
◆ Fit the left side of the battery pack under the
clips then press down on the right side so that
the pack snaps home.
◆
Plug the jack firmly into the socket (see picture
on right).
◆ To close the battery compartment, position the
cover and press until it snaps home.
◆ Only insert the recommended re-
chargeable battery pack, i.e. never use a
W
normal battery pack as this could damage
your health and cause injury.
◆
Never use non-Siemens battery charg-
ers as this could damage the battery pack.

Step 3: Registering the handset to the
base and charging the battery pack
Place your handset in the base with the display
facing forwards. The handset will now register
automatically to the base. For procedure see
page 4.
Charging the battery pack
To charge the battery pack, leave the handset in
2
the base for approx. ten hours. The battery pack is
now fully charged. The charge status of the battery
pack is correctly displayed only after uninterrupted
charging/discharging. You should not therefore
interrupt the charging process.
1
Charging is electronically controlled to prevent
overcharging. The battery pack heats up during
charging; this is normal and not dangerous. After
a time the charge capacity of the pack will
decrease for technical reasons.
You must set the date and time to ensure that the
times of calls are logged correctly (page 10). Your
telephone is now ready to use.

If you place a deactivated handset in the base sta-
tion or charger, it will automatically activate.
