Closing the battery cover
Setting up the handset for use
Fitting the battery pack
Caution:
Use only the rechargeable battery pack recommended by Siemens (page 35). Never use a
conventional (non-rechargeable) battery pack,
as this may cause significant damage to health
and property. For example, the outer casing of
the battery pack could be destroyed or the battery pack could explode. The phone could also
malfunction or be damaged as a result of using
batteries that are not of the recommended
type. Use of battery packs not authorized by
Siemens may void the warranty on this product.
¤ Insert the plug into the socket as shown
in the enlarged view.
¤ Insert the battery pack.
¤ Hold the battery cover at a slight angle
and install the two lower clips into the
casing first. Then close the cover, press
on the top so that it clicks into place.
Gigaset E450 / USA EN / A31008-M17xx-B101-1-19 / starting.fm / 28.3.06
First Steps
Locking the battery cover
Insert the catches on the lock ring or belt
clip into the notches in the casing and
make sure that the arrow markings on the
casing are facing those on the bottom of
the ring. Turn the lock ring or belt clip
clockwise to the end stop. When both
holes are horizontally aligned with the
upper edge of the handset the lock ring is
closed.
Placing the handset in the base station
and registering
¤ Place the handset in the base with its
display facing outwards.
The handset registers automatically. Registration takes around 1 minute. During
this time Regstr.Procedure appears in the
display and the name of the base station
flashes, for example Base 1. The handset
will be assigned the lowest unassigned
internal intercom number (1–6).
This will appear in the display when registration is complete, for example INT 1.
This means that the number 1 has been
assigned. If the internal numbers 1–6
are already assigned to other units, the
number 6 is overwritten.
Notes:
Opening the battery cover
Position both thumbs on the lock ring and
simultaneously turn the lock ring or belt
clip anticlockwise and remove.
– Automatic registration is only possible if
no-one is making calls using the base station.
– Each key press interrupts the automatic
registration.
– If automatic registration does not work the
handset will need to be registered manually
(page 21).
– You can change the name of the handset
(page 24).
Leave the handset in the base station to
charge the battery pack.
Notes:
– If the handset has switched itself off
because the battery has no charge, and is
then placed in the base station, it will
switch itself on automatically.
– The handset must only be placed in the
designated base.
¤ Insert a coin into the cavity at the top of
the battery cover and twist it until the
cover opens.
For questions and problems see page 33.
Headset socket
Most headsets with standard 2.5mm mini
plugs are compatible with this handset.
If you do not connect a headset, please
insert the cover supplied for the headset
socket to support the splash proof feature.
Gigaset E450 / USA EN / A31008-M17xx-B101-1-19 / starting.fm / 28.3.06
First Steps
Initial charging and discharging of the
battery pack
If the handset is activated, the flashing
battery icon e in the top right of the display indicates that the battery pack is
being charged.
During handset operation, the battery
icon indicates the charge status of the battery pack (page 3). The correct charge status can only be displayed if the battery
pack is first fully charged and discharged.
¤ To do this, leave the handset in the
base station continuously for ten
hours. Your handset need not be
switched on for it to charge.
¤ Afterwards, remove the handset from
the base station and do not put it back
again until the battery pack is fully discharged.
Note:
After the initial charge and discharge you may
replace your handset in the base station after
every call.
Please remember:
u Always repeat the charging and dis-
charging procedure if you remove the
battery pack from the handset and
insert it again.

Using a handset as a
room monitor
If the room monitor is activated, a previously stored destination number is called
as soon as a set noise level is reached. You
can store an internal or external number
in your handset as the destination
number.
The room monitor call to an external
number stops after approx. 90 seconds.
The room monitor call to an internal
number (handset) stops after approx. 3
minutes (depending on the base station).
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 indicated without a ringtone and are only
shown on the screen. The display and keypad are not illuminated and advisory
tones are also turned off.
If you accept an incoming call, the room
monitor mode is suspended for the duration of the call, but the function remains
activated.
If you switch off the handset, the room
monitor mode is deactivated. You will
need to reactivate the function after
switching on the handset again.
Caution:
– You should always check the operation
of the room monitor before use. For
example, test its sensitivity. Check the
connection if you are diverting the room
monitor to an outside number.
– When the function is switched on the handset's operating time is severely reduced.
If necessary, place the handset in the
charging cradle. This ensures that the
battery pack will not run down.
– Ideally the handset should be positioned
1 to 2 meters away from the sound being
monitored. The microphone must be
directed towards the monitored sound.
– The connection to which the room monitor
is diverted must not be blocked by an activated answering machine.

FCC / ACTA Information
Warning: Changes or modifications to this unit not
expressly approved by Siemens Cordless Products
could void the FCC authority to operate the equipment.
This includes the addition of any external antenna
device.
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules
and the requirements adopted by the ACTA. On the
bottom of the base station is a label that contains,
among other information, a product identifier in the
format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this number
must be provided to the telephone company.
A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the
premises wiring and telephone network nust comply
with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements
adopted by the ACTA. A compliant telephone cord and
modular plug is provided with this product. It is
designed to be connected to a compatible modular
jack that is also compliant. See installation instructions for details.
The REN is used to determine the number of devices
that may be connected to a telephone line. Excessive
RENs on a telephone line may result in the devices not
ringing in response to an incoming call. In most but not
all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0).
To be certain of the number of devices that may be
connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs,
contact the local telephone company. For products
approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product
is part of the product identifier that has the format
US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are
the REN without a decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of
0.3). For earlier products, the REN is separately shown
on the label.
If this equipment causes harm to the telephone
network, the telephone company will notify you in
advance, that temporary discontinuance of service
may be required. But if advance notice isn’t practical,
the telephone company will notify the customer as
soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your right
to file a complaint with the FCC if you belive it is
necessary.
The telephone company may make changes in its
facilities, equipment, operations or procedures that
could affect the operation of the equipment. If this
happens the telephone company will provide advance
notice in order for you to make necessary modifications to maintain uninterrupted service. If you experience trouble with this telephone system, disconnect it
from the network until the problem has been corrected
or until you are sure that the equipment is not malfunctioning.
36
If trouble is experienced with this equipment, for repair
or warranty information, please contact Siemens
Customer Care, Tel. 1-888-777-0211. If the equipment is
causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone
company may request that you disconnect the equipment until the problem is resolved. This equipment is
of a type that is not intented be repaired by the
Customer (user).
This telephone system may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone company. Connection
to party line service is subject to state tariffs. Contact
the state public utility commission, public service
commission or corporation commission for information. Privacy of communications may not be ensured
when using this phone.
If your home has specially wired alarm equipment
connected to the telephone line, ensure the installation of this equipment does not disable your alarm
equipment. If you have questions about what will
disable alarm equipment, consult your telephone
company or a qualified installer.
This telephone system equipment has been tested
and found to comply with the limits for Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
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 interference 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 interference 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 turning the system off and on, the user is encouraged to try
to correct the interference by one or more of the following 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.

Notes on the operating instructions
Entering special characters
You can call up the table of special characters using the * key. Select the

Order of directory entries
Directory entries are usually sorted in
alphabetical order. Spaces and digits take
first priority. The sort order is as follows:
1. Space
2. Digits (0–9)
3. Letters (alphabetical)
4. Other characters
To get around the alphabetical ordering of
the entries, insert a space or a digit in
front of the name. These entries will then
move to the beginning of the directory.
Names which you have preceded with an
asterisk will move to the end of the directory.
