Setting up the handset for use

Fitting the battery pack

Caution:

Use only the rechargeable battery pack recommended by Gigaset Communications GmbH * (page 46). 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.

* Gigaset Communications GmbH is a trademark licensee of Siemens AG.

▶ Insert the plug into the socket as shown in the enlarged view.
▶ Insert the battery pack.
▶ Place the cords in the cord routing.

Closing the battery cover

▶ Hold the battery cover at a slight angle and introduce the two lower lugs into the casing first. Then close the cover so that it clicks into place.

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.

▶ Insert a coin into the cavity at the top of the battery cover and twist it until the cover opens.

Placing the handset in the base station and registering

▶ Place the handset in the base with its display facing upwards.

The handset registers automatically. Registration takes around 1 minute. During this time Registr.Procedure appears in the display and the name of the base station flashes, e.g. Base 1. The handset will be assigned the lowest unassigned internal number (1–6).

This will appear in the display when registration is complete, e.g. 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:

• Automatic registration is only possible while 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 have to be registered manually (page 34).
• You can change the name of the handset (page 37).

First Steps

Leave the handset in the base station to charge the battery pack.

Notes:

• If the handset has switched itself off because the battery pack is flat and is then placed in the base station, it will switch itself on automatically.
• The handset must only be placed in the designated base.

For questions and problems see page 45.

Headset socket

You can connect the following types of headset (with jack connector): HAMA Plantronics M40, MX100 and MX150.

If you do not connect a headset, please insert the cover supplied for the headset socket to guarantee the unit is still splash proof.

Initial charging and discharging of the battery pack

If the handset is activated, the flashing battery icon ☐ 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 1). 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:

◆Always repeat the charging and discharging procedure if you remove the battery pack from the handset and insert it again.
◆The battery pack may warm up as it is charging. This is not dangerous.
◆After a time the charge capacity of the battery pack will decrease for technical reasons.
▶ Set the date and the time, for example to ensure the correct time of incoming calls is recorded.

Setting the date and time

▶ If you have not yet set the date and time, press the display key Time to open the input field.

To change the time, open the input field via:

→ → Date/Time

▶ Change multiple line input:

Date:

Enter day, month and year in 6-digit format.

Time:

Enter hours and minutes with 4 digits, e.g. 0 + 7 nPZY pqs 1 a.o 5 KA jol for 07:15 a.m.

Save Press the display key.

Once the phone is registered and the time set, the idle display looks as shown here (example):

Your phone is now ready for use.

Instead of scrolling to locate a menu function, you can select a menu function faster by opening the menu and keying in the digit combination ("shortcut").

Example: 5 KA 2 AB 1 1 for "Set ringtone for external calls".

With the telephone in idle status, press ⬆ (open main menu):

An incoming call interrupts all other operations, including the operation of the SIM card.

However, it is possible to make an outgoing call and continue using the SIM card at the same time.

Caution:

◆Never insert any metallic objects (such as coins or knife blades) in the SIM card slot as otherwise the electrical safety cannot be guaranteed.
◆Avoid touching the contact surfaces on the SIM card.
◆Inserting the SIM card wrongly might damage it.
◆Do not remove the SIM card during data transmission.

You can copy entries from SIM cards to the directory and vice versa. If the SIM card is PIN-protected you will be prompted to enter the PIN.

If the SIM card is blocked (e.g. as the result of several wrong PIN entries), you must first insert the SIM card in your mobile phone and unblock it with the super PIN (PUK).

However, if you require, for example, that 081 is still dialled without preselection, enter 081 for "without preselection".

When dialling, after pressing the talk/handsfree key the first digits of the dialled number are compared with both lists:

◆The preselection number is not inserted in front if the dialled number
- matches no entry in either list
– matches an entry in the list "without preselection"

You can register up to a total of six handsets on your base station.

A Gigaset E45 handset can be registered on up to four base stations.

Automatic registration Gigaset E45 to Gigaset E450 SIM

Important: The handset must not already be registered to any base station.

Registering the handset to the Gigaset E450 SIM base station occurs automatically.

▶ Place the handset in the base with its display facing forward.

Registration takes around 1 minute. During this process, Regstr.Procedure appears in the display and the name of the base station flashes e.g. Base 1. When the handset has registered, its screen displays its internal number, e.g. Báon 2 for internal number 2. The handset is assigned the lowest available internal 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.

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.
- You can change the name of the handset (page 37).

Manual registration Gigaset E45 to Gigaset E450 SIM

You must activate manual registration of the handset at both the handset and the base station.

After it has registered, the handset returns to idle status. The internal number of the handset appears in the display, e.g.

Báση 1. If it does not, repeat the procedure.

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 must 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 does not run down.

- Ideally the handset should be positioned 1 to 2 metres away from the baby. The microphone must be directed towards the baby.

– The connection to which the room monitor is diverted must not be blocked by an activated answering machine.

Writing and editing a text message

The following rules apply when writing a text message:

◆ Control the cursor with ◀ △ △ ▲ △ ▼.
◆Characters are added to the left of the cursor.
◆Press the star key ☐ * △ to show the table of special characters.
◆The first letter of the name of directory entries is automatically capitalised, followed by lower case letters.

Entering special characters

You can call up the table of special characters when writing an SMS using the * △ key. Select the required character and insert it with Insert.

Writing an SMS/name (without predictive text)

Press the hash key #→ briefly to switch from "Abc" mode to "123" and from "123" to "abc" and from "abc" to "Abc" (upper case: 1st letter upper case, all others lower case). Press the hash key #→ before entering the letter.

The following applies when writing an SMS:

◆The display shows whether upper case, lower case or digits is selected. "Abc", "abc" or "123" appears at the top right of the display.
When you press a key and hold it, the characters of that key appear in the bottom display line and are highlighted one after the other. When you release the key the highlighted character is inserted into the input field.

Writing an SMS (with predictive text)

EATONI predictive text helps you when you are writing an SMS.

Each key between 0 + and 9 Z=YX wxyz is assigned several letters and characters (see the character set tables, page 50). These appear in a selection line immediately under the text panel (above the display keys) as soon as you press a key. The letter you are most likely looking for is reverse-highlighted and is at the beginning of the selection line. It is copied into the text panel.

1 SMS text
2 Selection line
3 EATONI is activated
4 Upper/lower case or digits

If this letter is the one you want, confirm it by pressing the next key. If it is not the one you want, briefly press the hash key #\~ repeatedly until the required letter is reverse-highlighted on the display line and copied into the text panel.

If you press and hold the hash key #→ you switch from "Abc" mode to "123" and from "123" to "abc" and from "abc" to "Abc".

Deactivating/activating predictive text

Requirement: You are writing an SMS.

Options Press the display key.

Predictive Text

Select and press OK (√) = o n ) .

Press the end call key briefly to return to the text panel. Enter the text.

Order of directory entries

The 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 round the alphabetical order 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.
