Safety information

Use only the plug-in power supply unit provided, as indicated on the bottom of the device. Use only approved, rechargeable batteries of the same type. In other words, never use conventional (non-rechargeable) batteries, since these can injure you and damage your health.
Insert rechargeable batteries in accordance with polarity symbols (the instructions are found in the handset battery compartment). Use the batteries indicated in these operating instructions (the instructions are found in the handset's battery compartment). The operation of medical equipment may be affected. Bear in mind the technical requirements of the environment (e.g. doctor's office). The handset can cause an unpleasant buzzing sound in hearing aids. Do not hold the handset too close to your ear. Do not operate the telephone in environments where there is risk of explosion (e.g. paint shops). Do not install the base station in bathrooms or showers.The handset is not splashproof (see page 13).
Do not pass your Gigaset on to a third party without the user guide.
Dispose of batteries and your phone in an environment-friendly manner. When the keypad is locked (see page 11) emergency numbers cannot be dialled either. Not all the functions described in this user guide are available in all countries.

Putting the telephone into service
Step 1: Connecting the base station
First of all, connect your base station to the telephone jack and the mains supply. 220 V/ 230 V Telephone jack*
Insert the round plug of the mains cable into the jack. Lay the cable in the channel provided (to prevent overtensioning). Plug the power supply unit into the power socket. Plug the square connector of the phone cable supplied into the jack. Lay the cable in the channel. Plug the phone connector into the phone socket.
* Appearance may differ, depending on country!
If you do not want to use the telephone cable supplied, ensure that you use either a simple extension cable or a telephone cable with 3/4 connector assignment, otherwise your Gigaset A100 will not function correctly. 3 free free La 6 Lb free free
Step 2: Inserting the battery
Insert the battery connector into the socket (see inset); it must lock securely into place. Place battery in the battery compartment. Insert battery cable in the clip provided. Put the battery compartment cover on and push it up until it latches into position. To open the compartment, press on the ridged section of the cover and push downwards. Only use approved batteries. Never use non-Siemens charging units as these can damage the batteries.
The display is protected by a film. Please remove protective film.
Step 3: Registering the handset at the base station
Before you can make or receieve telephone calls you need to register the handset at the base station. Make sure that the base station is connected to the power supply (Step 1) and the battery is inserted in the handset (Step 2).
The registration display will appear. This may take up to 5 minutes, depending on the charge level of the battery. The / symbol will flash in the display.
Place the handset in the base station and leave it there until registration is complete.
Unplug the power supply unit (220V/230V) from the mains socket.
The handset must remain in the base station. Plug the power supply unit back into the mains socket.
After about 90 seconds the / symbol will stop flashing and the normal standby display will appear. The handset is now registered at this base station.
Step 4: Charging the battery
The battery supplied is not charged. To charge the battery, place the handset in the base station. For the first charging we recommend a continuous charging time for at least 16 hours. You can then make calls.

Battery information

Once the first charging operation is completed, you can replace the handset in the base station after any call. The batteries warm up during charging - this is normal and not a cause for concern.
