6First StepsGigaset S45 / USA EN / A31008-M1754-R101-1-6Z19 / start_guide_time.fm / 30.3.06Attaching the belt clipThere are notches for attaching the belt clip on the side of the handset at the same height as the display.¤Press the belt clip onto the back of the handset so that the lugs on the belt clip click into the notches. Opening the battery cover¤If fitted, remove the belt clip.¤Insert your hand into the headset socket cavity and pull the battery cover upwards.Registering your phoneBefore you can use your Gigaset S45 you must register it to a base station. It can be registered to a maximum of four base sta-tions. The actual registration procedure will depend on the type of base station. Automatic registration Gigaset S45 to Gigaset S450/S455 Important: The handset must not yet be registered to any base station. ¤Place the handset in the base with its display facing outwards.Registration takes around 1 minute. Dur-ing this process, Regstr.Procedure appears in the display and the name of the base station flashes, for example Base 1. When the handset has been registered, its screen displays its internal number, for example INT 2 for internal number 2. The handset is assigned the lowest available internal intercom number (1-6). If all internal numbers 1-6 have been assigned, number 6 is overwritten, provided the handset with the internal number 6 is in idle status. Manual registration Gigaset S45If the handset does not switch on auto-matically when the batteries are fitted, you must first charge the batteries. You must activate manual registration of the handset at both the handset and the base station. After it has been registered, the handset returns to idle status. The handset's inter-nal number is shown in the display, for example INT 1. If it is not, repeat the proce-dure.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. – Each key press interrupts the automatic registration.– If automatic registration does not work, you will have to register the handset manually.

The room monitor call to an internal number (handset) stops after approx. 3 minutes (depending on the base sta-tion). While the room monitor is activated, all keys are locked except the end call key. The handset's speaker is muted. When the room monitor is activated, incoming calls to the handset are indi-cated without a ringtone and are only shown on the screen. The display and key-pad are not illuminated and advisory tones are also turned off.If you accept an incoming call, the room monitor mode is suspended for the dura-tion of the call, but the function remains activated.If you switch off the handset, the room monitor mode is deactivated.

Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful inter-ference in a residential installation. Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause interference to nearby TV’s and VCR’s; to minimize or prevent such interference, the system base should not be placed near or on top of a TV or VCR; and, if inter-ference is experienced, moving the base farther away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this telephone system does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turn-ing the system off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the fol-lowing measures:1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.2. Increase the separation between the base station and receiver.3. Connect the base station into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio TV technician for help.Notice to Hearing Aid Wearers: This portable part is compatible with inductively cou-pled hearing aids.Power Outage: In the event of a power outage, your cordless telephone will not operate.
