Safety precautions
Gigaset C460 / BT / A31008-M1706-L151-2-7619 / security.fm / 20.2.06
Safety precautions
Caution:
Read the safety precautions and the user guide before use.
Explain their contents to your children, and the potential hazards associated with using the telephone.
Only use the mains adapter supplied, as indicated on the underside of the base station.
Fit only the recommended rechargeable batteries (page 27) of the same type! I.e. do
not use any other battery type or non-rechargeable batteries as this could result in signif-
icant health risks and personal injury.
Insert rechargeable batteries with the correct polarity, and use them according to this user
guide (polarity symbols can be seen in the handset's battery compartment, page 4).
The operation of medical appliances may be affected. Be aware of the technical condi-
tions in your particular environment, e.g. doctor's surgery.
The handset may cause an unpleasant humming noise in hearing aids.
Do not install the base station in bathrooms or shower rooms. The handset and base sta-
tion are not splash proof (page 26).
Do not use the phone in environments with a potential explosionhazard, e.g. auto paint
shops.
If you give your Gigaset to someone else, make sure you also give them the user guide.
All electrical and electronic products should be disposed of separately from the municipal
waste stream via designated collection facilities appointed by the government or the local
authorities.
This crossed-out wheeled bin symbol on the product means the product is covered by the
European Directive 2002/96/EC.
The correct disposal and separate collection of your old appliance will help prevent poten-
tial negative consequences for the environment and human health. It is a precondition for
reuse and recycling of used electrical and electronic equipment.
For more detailed information about disposal of your old appliance, please contact your
city office, waste disposal service or the shop where you purchased the product.

Gigaset C460 – more than just a telephone
Gigaset C460 –
more than just a telephone
Your phone not only enables you to send and
receive text messages over the fixed network
and store up to 100 telephone numbers
(page 12) – it can do a whole lot more:
uYou can programme the keys of your phone
with important phone numbers. The
number is then dialled by simply pressing a
key (page 12).
uUse the handsfree function (page 9) to keep
your hands free when making a call.
uUse your handset as an alarm clock
(page 23).
Have fun using your new telephone!

The pack contains:
uone Gigaset C460 base station
uone Gigaset C46 handset

Caution:
Use only the rechargeable batteries recommended by
Siemens on page 27. I.e. never use a conventional
(non-rechargeable) battery or other battery type,
otherwise serious damage to health and property
cannot be ruled out, e.g. the outer casing of the bat-
teries could be destroyed or the batteries could
explode. The phone could also malfunction or be
damaged as a result of using batteries that are not of
the recommended type.

First Steps
The polarity is indicated in/on the battery com-
partment.
Closing the battery cover
¤First align the notches on the side of the bat-
tery cover with the lugs on the inside of the
casing.
¤Then press the cover so that it clicks into
place.
Attaching the belt clip
There 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 hand-
set so that the protrusions on the belt clip
engage with the notches.
Opening the battery cover
¤If fitted, remove belt clip.
¤Insert a fingernail into the headset socket
cavity and pull the battery cover upwards.
Placing the handset in the base station
and registering
Important: the handset must not already be
registered to a base station.
Registering the handset to the Gigaset C460
base station occurs automatically.
¤Place the handset in the charging cradle of
the base unit with its display facing for-
ward.
You will hear a confirmation tone.
Automatic registration takes around one
minute. While registration is in progress the
screen displays Registering and Base flashes.
The handset is assigned the lowest unassigned
internal number (1–4). If several handsets are
registered to the base, the internal number is
shown in the display after registration, e.g.
INT 2. This means that the handset has been
assigned the internal number 2. If the handset
has been registered successfully you will see
the display key §INT§ at the bottom left of the dis-
play.

First Steps
¤To charge the batteries, leave the handset in
the charging cradle on the base station.
For questions and problems see page 26.
Initial charging and discharging of
batteries
Battery charging is indicated in the top right of
the display by a flashing battery icon e, V
or U. During handset operation, the battery
icon indicates the charge status of the batteries
(page 1).
The correct charge status can only be displayed
when the batteries are first fully charged and
discharged through use.
¤To do this, leave the handset in the base
without interruption until the battery icon
stops flashing in the display (approx. 13h).
¤Once the batteries are fully charged, remove
the handset from the base and do not put it
back again until the batteries are fully dis-
charged.
Please remember:
uAlways repeat the charging and discharging
procedure if you remove the batteries from
the handset and re-insert them.
uThe batteries may warm up as they are
charging. This is not dangerous.
uAfter a time the charge capacity of the bat-
teries will decrease for technical reasons.
Setting the date and time
§Menu§ ¢Settings ¢Date/Time
~Enter the day, month and year
with 6 digits and press §OK§. Use
qto move between the fields.
~Enter hours and minutes with 4
digits (e.g. 0 7 1 5 for 07.15 hrs)
and press §OK§. Use qto move
between the fields.
Once the phone is registered and the time
set, the idle display looks as shown on
page 1.
Your phone is now ready for use.
Belt clip and headset
By using a belt clip and headset (optional) you
can easily make your mobile phone a constant
companion both inside the building and in its
immediate vicinity.
Attaching the belt clip
There are notches for attaching the belt clip on
the side of the handset at approximately the
same height as the display.
¤Press the belt clip onto the back of the hand-
set so that the protrusions on the belt clip
engage with the notches.
Connection socket for headset
You can connect the following types of headset
(with jack connector): HAMA Plantronics M40,
MX100 and MX150.
Please note:
– Automatic registration is not possible when the
base station on which you wish to register the
handset is being used to make a call.
– A key press cancels automatic registration.
– If four handsets are already registered to the base
station there are two options:
– The handset with the internal number 4 is in
idle status: the handset you wish to register is
assigned the number 4. The handset that was
previously number 4 is de-registered.
– The handset with the internal number 4 is
being used: the handset you wish to register
cannot be registered.
– If automatic registration does not work the hand-
set will have to be registered manually (page 20).
Please note:
– The handset may only be placed in the base pro-
vided for it.
– If the handset has switched itself off because the
batteries are flat and is then placed in the cradle,
it will switch itself on automatically.
Please note:
After the first battery charge and discharge you may
replace your handset in its base after every call.
Please note:
You will find explanations for the symbols and typo-
graphical conventions used in this user guide in the
